With 111 restaurants in the town and a further 56 in the mountains, Zermatt has no shortage of places to eat. Between them they offer an international range of cuisine that covers everything from top class gourmet dinners, to Japanese, Italian, grills and local specialties. Here are a few that we would recommend a visit to.
CERVO
Housed in the incredibly chic boutique hotel, CERVO’s restaurant offers an intimate and relaxed fine dining experience with the option of eating al fresco on the terrace. The menu has everything from local dishes to contemporary twists on classic international food. Ingredients are fresh with herbs straight from the garden. It has also been awarded 13 points GaultMilliau.

Zum See
Still a firm favourite for many of Zermatt’s visitors, Zum See’s warm and friendly atmosphere continues to draw people in from the cold and fill them with gorgeous local food and wine. Located in a small and picturesque cluster of hamlets above Zermatt, Zum See is recommended for its home baking and attentive service.

Chez Vrony
Located in Findeln, Chez Vrony is a family restaurant. It is one of the oldest establishments in the area and continues to woo people back for its deliciously comforting food and cozy atmosphere. It is renowned for the freshness of it’s food and I would definitely recommend the sushi there! It also boasts some spectacular views as it directly faces the Matterhorn.
