The most delicious gnocchi I've ever tried was the perfect complement to the breathtaking views this restaurant offers. Great services, amazing vibes and reasonable prices. The only downside is the down and uphill hike, very difficult for non-experienced hikers like us. Other than that, it was an unforgettable experience. read more

Wow - breathtaking views, fabulous service, outstanding food! We did the shared tasting menu for lunch. The meal was fantastic from start to finish. The salad was superb - we were amazed at how fresh the produce tasted in the middle of this mountain setting - we loved the dressing. The entrees of beef and fish were both delicious along with tasty sides. Dessert was such a treat! One of a kind, memorable experience! Highly recommend! read more

Incredible! The food was delicious and they are so so nice. The vibe at the place was also amazing. It's definitely worth going to. I accidentally left a fanny pack behind and they were kind enough to bring it straight to the reception at our hotel in Zermatt instead of having to hike up to the restaurant! read more

One of my favorite places to eat in all of Zermatt, especially after putting in some work on the slopes. When we arrived, we were welcomed with friendly staff and an incredible view of the snowy mountains while sitting outside. There were comfortable Chez Vrony blankets available along with magnets on the menus to counter against windy days. The ravioli was one of my favorite dishes - super memorable and beautiful. read more

Restaurant Chez Vrony - My lunch - Swiss Food Near Me - Zermatt, VS

We were on a long hike in the Alps and there on the hill was a charming wooden hut, we climbed to it and the nine of us found two long tables right by the window. The Service was efficient and friendly, the atmosphere all you could ask for in a swiss chalet perched amid the mountains. The food was outstanding, I had the spätzli = so good. Everyone was very happy with their food, from the creamy soup to spaghetti to salmon. Beautiful, I may never happen on it again, but I hope you do! read more

Had the most incredible lunch here! We went on a clear day and had a direct view of the Matterhorn. While the online reservations were booked out, we were able to call in the morning and get a table for later that day. We asked to sit outside, and they had blankets provided for us. The food was good, we especially enjoyed the truffle pizza, and it was convenient being able to ski down to a restaurant with such nice scenery. Can't wait to come back! read more

Fancy mountain lunch. Service is excellent. Location on the mountain is ski in, ski out. The outdoor seats would be amazing if the sun is out. Setting is rustic but chic, if a bit tight indoors. Great wine selection. Food is excellent too. Lamb cutlet actually were 2 double lamb chops, perfectly. I was expecting a schnitzel or something but was pleasantly surprised. Desserts were crowd pleasers. read more

The burger was absolutely amazing! We were able to sit outside and enjoy the wonderful view!

Michelin restaurant overlooking the Matterhorn I can't recall what we ate but it was all good: from the risotto to the gnocchi Take the funicular to the Sunnega and an easy peasy hike down to the restaurant (about 20 min but we took our time) Do plan on hiking back up to make the last funicular down at 17:20 (20min if your a fast hiker) If you miss that it's about a 1.5hr hike down. read more

What a fantastic gem of a place this is! We went from Zermatt to Bleuherd and hiked the 5 lakes path to Chez Vrony. We had no reservations and we were seated outside. The views of Matterhorn and surroundings were breathtaking and added to a wonderful lunch. We had salmon tartare for appetizer. The freshness and flavor of this dish was beyond amazing. We ordered more food - mountain goat ravioli and gnocchi. Our lunches looked gorgeous and tasted delicious. We couldn't wait to try dessert, we ordered apricot cheesecake. This place is a gem and a highlight of our trip! Must-go. read more

Hidden on the slopes of Zermatt is a hidden gem of a restaurant! You ski up to the restaurant and stick your skis in the snow and walk in! We were lucky to sit outside so we could sit back and enjoy the view of the mountains! The food... this place has the best food on the mountain! I had the Goat Cheese Ravioli with dried pears, simply amazing! Others got the Burger that tasted very good and the Gnocchi that was awesome! The service was excellent! Note: try to get reservations early! read more

The. Best. Lunch. Of. My. Life. I cannot say enough good about the food, setting, and service at Chez Vrony. There is no greater experience than hiking all day and coming across this little gem of a restaurant high in the Swiss Alps. My wife loved the fresh lamb with risotto and local herbs. I had the gnocchi with fresh black truffles. It was simply incredible. The views are unending and fantastic. The staff was amazing. read more

We went to Chez Vrony while hiking today the 5 lakes trail. We thought they weren't open yet for the season & pleasantly surprised to find them open for lunch & had room for us. The staff were extremely pleasant, professional and happy to help us in English. The food wasn't cheap but it was exceptional. We had aperol spritz, salad and the vrony burger. I highly recommend all of them! Too stuffed for dessert but they looked lovely. Oh yes, awesome view of Matterhorn from the terrace too. All fantastic! read more

Zermatt is famous for its Michelin star cuisine and I had the privilege to eat at one of these amazing restaurants. Chez Vrony sits on the mountain side and after skiing all afternoon we ended up here for a most amazing lunch. The ambiance is out of this world. Vronys brother is an artist and has repurposed all sorts of items to create chandeliers and abstract artwork that fills this establishment. The service was extraordinary but when your eating with the owners best girlfriend, this is likely going to be the case! The beef cheek and sweetbreads were so special and full flavored. We were quite full after a hearty meal so when we were asked if we'd like dessert. We all politely declined. So they brought us a six plated menagerie of desserts anyway!! What a fun day. read more

Make reservations! Plan to make an adventure out of it. We came in September, and was a nice cable car and a hike to this spot. I'd say it could be strenuous depending on your activity level. Did see some struggle a bit with the in and out of here. Had a lovely view sitting outside. Delicious drinks and food. Literally can't go wrong with anything here. read more

This place was the highlight of our visit to Zermatt. We were really nervous when we read about the walk to it since there really isn't a whole lot of info on exactly how you get to it. We needed to know the level of difficulty before going to know what we were in for. I'm here to tell you that the walk was really magical and not difficult at all. I'll tell you about the food and drinks and then I'll tell you exactly how to get there. I got the goat cheese ravioli and boy was that just perfect! I wish I could get that everyday. Most everyone else got the teriyaki steak. I got to try my husbands and man was that good! I got the aperol spritz since that was my drink of choice on this trip and that was made perfectly. The atmosphere is awesome too, especially if you read about the history of the building before you go. Views are amazing. Staff was very friendly. Now on to the journey. You take the funicular up to Sunnegga, make sure to stop to take pics of the Matterhorn! From there you go thru the tunnel for the kids ski school and take the elevator down. Once you're down you just walk straight along the rope that goes under the ski lift above. From there you will just follow that path. Be watchful on your way because this is ski run of sorts. You'll see the little village eventually where you'll walk thru and past the coolest wooden chalets and even some other restaurants. You'll eventually do a zig zag down a bit of a hill and then you'll walk the path at the bottom there until you cross a higher traffic ski run, so look out before you cross! You will eventually run into Chez Vrony right in front of you. To get back to the top, don't fret that you have to walk all the way back up. Walk just down from the restaurant a bit more and there is a lift that you can buy tickets for and it'll take you right back up! Make sure you have reservations before you go as this place books quickly and often doesn't have any openings for walk ups. I've heard occasionally they do, but you don't want to make that whole journey just to be turned away! read more

This place really is magical and I wanted to love it. You ski up to this restaurant and the aesthetic is out of this world. It's like a log cabin of your Swiss dreams. When we were there it was foggy, but it's known for the best view on the mountain! I also heard the food was wonderful, so I was excited. I was disappointed with a few things- the service was very slow. Our server forgot our drinks and had to be reminded a couple of times. We also waited for the check for 30 minutes after asking for it twice. The food was also less than mediocre. We ordered fondue first, which itself was good, but the bread was really hard and tasteless. For our mains we got the burger. The coleslaw was very watery and on the bottom bun so trying to cut this in half was a mess and made the bun extremely soggy. The chips were good, but seemed to be just average, from the bag, tortilla chips. Again, I wanted to love it here because of the views and hype, but it just wasn't the best experience for us. read more

Excellent service and the most amazing view. Definitely try to share because it's a lot of food. We were a group of 4. Ordered the burger, flatbread and fondue. For dessert we shared the cheesecake but easily I could have had it all by myself. It's not a typical cheesecake. It's light and delicious. It's worth the walk. Make reservations. read more

I had broken my wrist so was not able to ski down. We went in march after it had snowed and the hike up wasn't that bad. We took the lift up and then hiked for about 10 minutes downhill. To get back we walked a bit and took the lift down. We paid around $10 each to get there. While it wasn't bad if it is snowing you should wear proper footwear and have the proper jackets as it gets quite cold. We had the Vrony burger and fondue. The burger was very good. It didn't taste quite like burgers in the US I was used to but was excellent nonetheless. The star was the fondue. It was some of the best fondue I have ever had. I plan on going back when my wrist is better and will ski/snowboard in. The views are jaw-dropping. If it isn't clear you may not be able to see the Matterhorn so if that is your goal make sure it is a clear day. read more

Best of the best. This restaurant is all: romantic, idyllic, beautiful, appetizing and yet congenial. This is undoubtedly one of the best three restaurants in Valais and perhaps one of the very best Alpine restaurants altogether in the nine countries sharing this mountain range. Chez Vrony is located steps from the ski run (piste) No. 6 in Findeln - for skiers, and can be accessed by a short walk from the Sunnega Express funnicular, for the rest of mortals. Perched on the ravine in a typical old-style Swiss hamlet, the ample outdoor terrace provides stunning views of the Matterhorn. If you're agoraphobic, perhaps you should eat inside (although I can't imagine anyone who is agoraphobic going to Zermatt). On a sunny day, which is the rule in Zermatt, the terrace fills with customers sunning themselves while feasting on the restaurant's offerings. There is also a side terrace for just sunning and drinking. The restaurant has its own dairy and local source of organic, mountain grown meats. It bottles water under its own name also, providing for an additional cachet. entering Chez Vrony, an army of waiters and waitresses makes you feel like a king or queen. The selections do vary, although the tagliatelle is to die for, and (believe it or not) the local organic hamburger is probably the best I've ever tasted. A full bar with both cocktails, wines and coffee drinks compliment the offerings. The seats, all covered by lambskins, provide for an additional comfort, and there are blankets for those who want to stay and lounge while absorbing the once-in-a-lifetime views of the Matterhorn. As to prices, yes, they are steep. But well worth it. Reservations are a must. read more

Restaurant Chez Vrony - The Legendary Vrony Burger! - Swiss Food Near Me - Zermatt, VS

Chez Vrony has managed to transplant the chic atmosphere and allure of a trendy NYC west village restaurant right onto the ski slopes in Zermatt (Findeln to be exact). Chez Vrony is the classic chalet on the slopes, for easy ski to access - Findeln is a little more than an hour's hike from the center of Zermatt and the hike up to Findeln offers some unique views of both the Matterhorn and Zermatt. The restaurant in and of itself is large 3 story encampment with plenty of patio space and lawn-chairs set-up with direct views of the Matterhorn. They provide huge sheep blankets to help keep you warm as you sip your choice of wine, beer, or hot chocolate. The spaghetti and lamb hit the spot on a cold day. Some of their soups are little hit or miss and I would not recommend the spicy tomato soup with lamb (although they do offer to spike it with Vodka). Overall the food is in line with quality Swiss dishes but the atmosphere is what makes this cozy lunch spot an attractive destination for skiers. The restaurant is a little on the pricey side but that is expected for "elite" cuisine served-up slope side. Note: reservations are essentially mandatory during peak lunch hours if you want to have a shot at eating inside. In colder (i.e. sub 0 degrees Celsius) temperature you'll be able to walk up and get a seat on the lawn-chairs. read more

This is an exceptional family-owned and run ski-in-ski-out restaurant near the Furi near the furi lift. Thankfully we had a lunch reservation because the wait would have been over an hour, though the food is certainly worth the wait. We were greeted by the owner, who was warm and hospitable. While we were originally seated on the outside patio, with a gorgeous view of the Matterhorn, the staff immediately accommodated our request to switch to an inside table, once the wind picked up. The ambiance is rustic and charming, and the food was outstanding. My sister loved the hamburger, and my roasted chicken salad was fresh, hearty, and satisfying. The service was friendly and accommodating, especially considering how busy it was during lunch. I wouldn't recommend walking here if you're not skiing. Multiple people, including our concierge and ski guide, advised that walking down from the gondola is an option. However, we skied by people doing so, and my mom tried to make this walk the following day, and it did not look pleasant. You definitely would need true waterproof hiking gear and poles, as the trek is snowy and slippery. I cant wait to return to Zermatt just to ski here for lunch! Truly fantastic. read more

If you're only going to one mountain restaurant while in town, choose this one. Setting and views are beautifully, my wife and I had one of the loungers, which saw us lying on a sheepskin rug, overlooking the Matterhorn and with a few cows (and obligatory cowbells) clanking away melodically. Food was excellent, had the lamb and the ravioli. The ravioli had just the right touch of balance of sweet honey and alpine goats cheese. Apparently everything here is Alpine / locally grown. Even had a bottle (2 in fact) of Zermatt beer before a bottle of Syrah Rose (it was summer) and it honestly was beautifully matched to the mountain air. Was one of those "best beers I've ever had, but will only taste this good when looking at the mountain on the bottle" moments. How good? We are here in Zermatt for 2 days and are wrestling over whether we have our 2nd lunch there. Go go go! read more
