Marie's Deli Zermatt — Restaurant in Zermatt

Ambiance: The deli was closed due to water damage so we sat in the hotel bar. It’s a nice place and it wants to be higher end than it is. It is also very much needs a luggage room because there was luggage strewn about everywhere.

Service: There was one server who could best be rated as insufferable that made an excellent wine recommendation.

For mains we got Wiener schnitzel (excellent) and Coq au Riesling (very good, interesting take on the dish, presentation unique). Prices were expected for the area but honestly worth it - we left satiated in both...

I am traveling through Europe with train, and have made a two days stop in Zermatt. By accident I passed Marie's Deli this afternoon, walked in and made a reservation. Thank God I did. The service from the Italian waiter who originally comes from Iscia was perfect. The food and wine was the best I have so far on my journey. I started out with a creamy tomato soup. As main disch I had Coq au Riesling, chicken in white wine sauce with sauer kraut and mashed potatoes. An unbelievably delicious dish. Along with my meal I had a couple glasses of local white wine, recommended by the waiter. Marie's Deli is truely a gem, on a side street away from the hustle and bussle and tourist traps on Bahnhofstrasse, the...
