    Delicious burger, good service, good vibes! A nice quick meal in Zermatt for a relatively reasonable price.

    I had one of the BEST Cesar salads I've ever eaten, and I love Cesar Salads!!! It was loaded with Chicken, Bacon, Parmesan cheese, Croutons AND Pomegranate seeds! Yes, you heard me correctly... and it was phenomenal!!! Hubby had the cheeseburger and fries and he said it was ok (they put Swiss cheese on the burger and he's an American cheese type guy, but otherwise it was very good). The servers all worked in harmony, like a fine tuned clock, and were very helpful to each other. We all throughly enjoyed our meal and would recommend this place!!!

    Best part of our lunch at Zermat was the easy going bartender. Bar foods served as bar foods do and my tomato bisque was comforting. It was a very nice tasting tomato soup as it should be and served very hot! Great-everybody-knows-your-name bar setting made this place a friendly stop whime at Zermat or if coming back from your hike of the trails in Matterhorn! Check it out!

    We stopped here after arriving in Zermatt around 8 pm. We got a bar spot and service was quick with our drinks. The vibe was really neat- lots of visitors, so many languages spoken, very casual yet cozy. A lot of the other restaurants on the Main Street were a bit fancy so this was much more what we were looking for. It took awhile to get the servers attention for our food order, but once we did food was fast and warm. I got tomato soup which was delicious and cozy. I do wish they had a more substantial vegetarian option. My partner got the burger and said it was absolutely amazing. We would return and recommend for a beer and chill vibes!

    I came here several years ago when I first visited Zermatt. I brought my family and we each had the Zermatter burger. Hands down the best burger and fries in Switzerland!

    I would say this place was ok. It was definitely crowded and busy. We weren't greeted upon entering even though 2 people behind the bar made direct eye contact with us. It's open seating and people share tables to accommodate everyone. We sat for 10 minutes at a dirty table before anyone came over. When they did it was to clear the table, and she didn't say anything to us. Finally a server came over and took our order. We got a burger and fries and then an order of soup. Food was ok, service was lacking.

    We loved the Brown Cow! Cool pub/tavern vibe with good beer selection. Interior was rustic but nice. Staff was friendly & attentive. I forgot to snap a pic of the burgers we got, BUT they were excellent (I had the "Zermatter" w/ an added egg :-)

    Mexican Burger... beef burger with guac, cheese, pepper, onions

    The food was good. We ordered 3 different burgers. The stinky burger definitely lives up to the name so caution to those that want it, but if you love gorgonzola this is the burger for you. The tomato soup was delicious. I ordered a grilled cheese on the side to dip and did not expect for it to have ham and lettuce. For those Americans ordering what we think a grilled cheese is be warned. I still ate it and it was great, but when you expect something else you do get a little disappointed. The service was great. Everyone was so friendly. It was really nice compared to some of the interactions we received on excursions. The ambiance was nice. Very much a pub. Seating is limited. Seat yourself. Try it and enjoy!

    Mexican Burger!

    Perfect place for a beer and a burger after a day of hiking. Sebastian was a friendly and wonderful server!!

    Chicken Bacon Salad

    If you are in town and are looking for a fun chill place to get some "regular" good-priced good Brown Cow is the way to go! We were here for a few days and came twice! And love both items! Chicken bacon salon was the best salad I've ever had!!! It was so so yummy! Great pub! It is busy so don't come if you are in a hurry. It down relax and enjoy the good food!

    Great restaurant in Zermatt. The food and beer selections were both great! We left full and satisfied after our meal here.

    One of the best here at Zermatt! After having Swiss food for the past two days, we were tired of it and wanted something different so we found this bar on Yelp. We ordered the Zermatt burger and Swiss burger, both were excellent and we enjoyed it very much. The fries were delicious too.

    The downstairs is a fun pub atmosphere. Not the best place for food very basic bar menu. Upstairs has more formal night club and dinner.

    I recommend getting some nachos and a stinky burger here and then heading upstairs to the cocktail bar for a drink.

    Make sure to stop here before heading back into town, great live music and atmosphere and the…read morebartenders are great too. The drinks are fantastic and there was plenty of space inside and outside to chill when you didn't want to be on the dance floor

    I was really excited to immerse into the Après in Zermatt and saw people online talking about Hennu…read moreStall! If you take the Matterhorn Glacier express up get off on the first opportunity to get to Hennu Stall fastest. If you are skiing back to town and don't take the gondola to get back, you are most likely to pass it. Located close to the town of Zermatt, but still off of the ski slopes. You cannot get here except by skiing, unless you would be crazy enough to try to hike it, but I'd just recommend coming here at the end of your ski day. It gets livelier as the day progresses. It opens at 2PM and most days closes around 8:30PM. We got a few drinks here. This place though has more of a party feel that other stops you can take. The music is louder and they've got the different colored lights for instance. I'd definitely recommend checking them out. Once I was in Zermatt, I realized that this is just one of many places you can stop for drinks. Don't think that if you don't go here specifically that you won't be able to get drinks on the mountain. Hennu Stall was definitely a cool experience and one that would be pretty hard to replicate in America!
