This is a restaurant to try while walking on the streets of Zermatt. Initially we were quite bummed with the rule of 1 main course dish per head. Generally, our kids cannot finish one whole meal. We were 2 adults and 2 kids under age 12. Anyway we sat to order and tried our best to order 1 dish per head. We were happy that the food was yum. We ordered a kid meal just because we had to. It was wasted and we took it home. The other dishes like sirloin steak, cheese fondue and spaghetti cream with egg and bacon were yummmy!!! Whatever was left, we took back with us as we do not like to waste food. They had shawls kept for use on the chairs outside due to the cold. This was a very unique concept and good thought we had never seen before and were quite impressed with it. I would've given a 5 star for the restaurant but I believe that their one meal per head rule either forces one to eat more than they can or forces one to waste food. Neither sits right with me.

We went to this restaurant during our visit to Zermaat for a few hours to see the town & view the majestic Matterhorn. It is located on the busy street of Zermaat & has indoor as well as outdoor patio seating arrangements. We didn’t have a reservation so we could only get a table inside, & the servers were friendly & very accommodating. They allowed us to get food from outside & feed our little one. We ordered the Spicy cheese fondue with chili flakes & it was mind blowing delicious & it came with the bread basket but we also ordered the side of potatoes which comes with Kirby pickles & pickled onions. We throughly enjoyed the fondue & literally ate every last bit of it by scraping the burnt fondue around the bowl. If you are a spicy food and cheese lover, I would highly recommend going to this restaurant even just for the fondue.

Rude staff. Mediocre food. The heavy male host that ‘greeted’ us definitely had an attitude when we asked to be seated on the main floor vs climbing up the stairs for a table. We had to state twice that we preferred the main floor as he kept trying to lead us up the stairs. The menu says each person must order a meal and a drink. Whatever. We ordered one glass of wine, a Rosti, and one of the weekly braut specials that gave a choice of potatoe types. Our waiter seemed impatient and ran off as soon as he heard our order. The dishes arrived within twenty minutes and were delivered by a different wait staff. When we tried to tell him we preferred the other type of potatoe he scurried off to get our original waiter who said we ordered the French fries. Actually when taking the order he never even asked what type we wanted even though he said he did. Again, whatever, just please make it right. Eventually the au gratin potatoes arrived. The braut special dinner was so so. The rosti so so, really too salty. We had a long train trip and we’re hungry and tired and this was a huge disappointment to our day. Zermatt is too charming and we’ll be back but will definitely avoid this place and it’s attitude.

Während einer Reise nach Zermatt verwandelte sich ein heftiger Regenschauer in ein ausgewachsenes Gewitter. Auf der Suche nach Zuflucht und einer Gelegenheit, mit meiner Frau bei einem guten Essen und etwas Wein zu entspannen, machten wir zunächst Halt bei McDonalds, um unseren vierjährigen Sohn unterzubringen. Während draußen der Sturm tobte, eilten wir nach Williserkanne und hofften auf eine warme und einladende Atmosphäre. Das Restaurant war zum Mittagessen nur etwa zu einem Viertel gefüllt, und die meisten Gäste genossen einfach nur den Kaffee. Wir saßen sofort. Als der Gastgeber jedoch bemerkte, dass mein Sohn an einer kleinen Tüte McDonald's-Pommes kaute, teilte er uns mit, dass ein Essen im Freien erforderlich sei. Überrascht erkundigte ich mich höflich, ob er aufgrund der extremen Wetterbedingungen eine Ausnahme machen könne. Wir hatten vor, komplette Mahlzeiten und Getränke für uns selbst zu bestellen, und das Mitbringen von Essen von draußen wäre für uns keine normale Praxis. Der Gastgeber blieb standhaft und erklärte, er könne kein „Picknick-Essen“ zulassen, da dies einen Präzedenzfall für andere schaffen würde. Ein letzter Versuch zur Vernunft: „Sir, das ist keine typische Situation. Es gibt einen gewaltigen Sturm mit Überschwemmungen und Blitzen. Wir bestellen ordentliche Mahlzeiten und haben sogar einen privaten Stand, wo niemand die Pommes unseres Sohnes sehen würde.“ " Leider war seine Antwort ein klares Nein. Enttäuscht und durchnässt vom erneuten Lauf durch den Sturm verließen wir das Restaurant. Obwohl ich verstehe, wie wichtig es ist, Richtlinien zu befolgen, gibt es in außergewöhnlichen Umständen auch Raum für menschliches Mitgefühl. Da die Züge aufgrund von Überschwemmungen stillstanden, war die Schwere des Sturms unbestreitbar. Diese Erfahrung hinterließ bei uns das Gefühl, dass es der Entscheidung des Managers an Einfühlungsvermögen mangelte und sie sich schlecht auf die Gastfreundschaft des Restaurants auswirkte. During a trip to Zermatt, a massive rainstorm turned into a full-blown thunderstorm. Seeking refuge and a chance to relax with my wife over a good meal and some wine, we initially stopped at McDonalds to accommodate our four-year-old son. With the storm raging outside, we hurried to Williserkanne, hoping for a warm and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant was only about a quarter full for lunch, with most patrons simply enjoying coffee. We were seated immediately. However, when the host noticed my son munching on a small bag of McDonald's fries, he informed us that outside dining would be required. Surprised, I politely inquired if he could make an exception due to the extreme weather conditions. We intended to order full meals and drinks for ourselves, and bringing outside food wouldn't be a normal practice for us. The host remained firm, stating they couldn't allow "picnic food" as it would set a precedent for others. One last attempt at reason: "Sir, this isn't a typical situation. There's a massive storm, with flooding and lightning. We'll order proper meals, and we even have a private booth where no one would see our son's fries." Unfortunately, his response was a definitive no. Disappointed and drenched from the renewed run through the storm, we left the restaurant. While I understand the importance of following policies, there's also room for human compassion in extraordinary circumstances. With trains shut down due to flooding, the severity of the storm was undeniable. This experience left us feeling that the manager's decision lacked empathy and reflected poorly on the restaurant's hospitality.

Steer clear! FLY INFESTATION!! Visited here with my wife and young daughter. The restaurant was ridiculously hot, so I politely asked that they opened a window but was told they couldn’t. I decided to take my baby outside for a couple of minutes to cool off as I could see sweat beading on her forehead. When I come back inside I was confronted by an old sweaty, creepy looking man who told me I shouldn’t be taking my baby outside. He turned out to be the owner/manager of the restaurant who had taken umbrage to my request to open the window. He proceeded to stare through the glass of the booth in which him and his drunk girlfriend were operating from, which I could only imagine was an attempt to intimidate us. We noticed flys in the wine we were drinking as we left, which was strange considering staff are on strict orders not to open any windows. Please explain??? Food was nothing special. Our waitress was excellent, however she wasn’t very forthcoming when I expressed my displeasure with her boss. She seemed intimidated more than anthing.
