Very friendly and cheerful staff. I ordered tapas with a salad and got a generous portion of bread on the side. The kitchen team explained exactly what was included in the tapasâwhat was on the plate and on the menuâwhich was very helpful. They even walked me through the menu in general.
I visited on a Saturday, just before 11:30 a.m. It was almost empty at that time, even though it was a beautiful September day. Later it gets busy when people from the Five Lakes hike pass by, so a reservation is a good idea.

The food is excellent, with a variety of elevated dishes to go along with classics (the fondue is delicious). Donât miss the chance to sit outside on a clear day to enjoy a meal with friends / family here. (Note: plenty of options for vegetarians/vegans is a plus) The staff is warm and welcoming, service was excellent, and the food very tasty. Take a moment to have a conversation with Elia and learn about life in Zermatt. Have a beer, champagne, or hot tea to warm up before heading out to finish an afternoon of skiing - youâll be...
