Restaurant Chez John The Roadhouse — Restaurant in Montreux

I chose this restaurant because we are looking for a steak restaurant and this place have the highest rating in the area, so we decided to go for it and that was one of the best decision that we made in our trip. the food was delicious we try the beef steak the standard one and the premium one (sorry I forget the name haha) we also order the kids meal for my little one, for the wine was also perfect we order the Chile wine by glass. The steak is so tender the taste comes from the meat itself, it is served in hotplate so you can decide how cooked it is, the sauces (there are four types) is optional dare I say. the steak is already so juicy and delicious by itself. Sorry we are not fluent in French so it took some time for us to order haha, John keep on helping us while he was cooking in the kitchen (we are the Indonesian with one boy if you remember). this restaurant is loved by the locals we can felt it; when we were there all the tables are occupied and all were having a great time. for our next trip to Switzerland for sure we will visit again. hopefully I can speak a little French by that time haha. for you all that visit Montreux you must try this restaurant, especially if you like steak; the price is actually the on par with Jakarta fancy steak restaurant, but you get better taste and quality here I...

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...

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...
