One of the best steak I’ve ever had - not just in Montreux, in Switzerland, or in Europe - in the world. And I’ve been to many acclaimed steakhouses in North America, Italy, the U.K, Japan, Korea, and so on. Chez John’s steak is clean-tasting, sweet, and lean but also tender to a fault. I am usually a fan of fattier cuts but if all lean beef tasted like that I’d be a convert! The hot stone the steak comes on ensures that your meat is never cold but the steak also develops a crust slowly throughout your meal - ingenious! And the fries and sauces - don’t even get me started! There’s a lot of thought and heart that went into creating the sauces that accompanied the meal. A luscious herb butter, three types of aioli-esque dips with curry, herbs, or tomato & cocktail sauce. Though the beef is already perfect on its own, the sauces make the meal so much more interesting! And the fries are absolutely perfection. Simple, crispy, well salted (feels like double fried fries). Last but not least, chef and owner John is a kind, friendly, and welcoming host. It was a real pleasure visiting his phenomenal steakhouse, extremely underrated for what it is. For visitors going to Chillón Castle or the Queen Experience Studio, this is close enough and a must visit in my opinion. You will not regret it!

Oh my goodness, if you’re coming to Montreux, DO NOT MISS THIS RESTAURANT! It’s worth every penny for an excellent meal and excellent service! John is super friendly and he took his time explaining the entire menu to us Americans that couldn’t read any of it. Lol Then when the steak came we couldn’t believe how tender and amazing it was! Our only regret is that we leave Montreux tomorrow or else we’d eat there two nights in a row it was so good and reasonably priced for all the food that you get. Wow! I would give it 10 stars if I could. PS you do cook your own steak on a slate stone so you can’t go wrong with how rare/well you like your steak.

We stopped in on the day we arrived to Europe and honestly had no idea what to expect. We absolutely loved our steaks and still crave them. My husband even jokes about flying into Geneva just to get another one (I wish!!) It was about 45CHF per person, which honestly seemed expensive at first, but after spending another 10 days traveling through Switzerland, Germany, and Italy, 30-50CHF or € depending on the area is what you typically would pay for any sit-down restaurant. This was by far our top meal. Highly recommend and hope to be back someday 😄

John serves steak on hot stone. He is quite welcoming. The meat quality is really good. His restaurant deserves such a high rating. My portion was 450gr of Cerf fillet plus 450gr of beef fillet. It comes with a green salad as starter and french fries, baked potato and veggies as side dish. Overall, I have doubt any other steak house in Switzerland can beat value to money of Chez John.

Best beef I have ever had in Montreux and Switzerland. Chef and staff were very friendly. I love the "Beef pro Natura" menu. I should order large size instead! I miss his beef already when I come back home 🤣 Will definitely recommend this restaurant to all of my friends!

We had a wonderful time here! John’s steak was the best we’ve had in our travels in Switzerland so far. John and (I think is his wife) were extremely funny and friendly, we felt great hospitality! Highly recommended for all who are looking for some good steak in Montreux!
