We were lured in by the 3 Cheese Fondue meal special. The food was absolutely delicious. The waiter was fantastic and as it wasn't too busy engaged in interesting conversation. The only negative was that it is more modern, less Swiss like. read more

So manch gutes Essen, gemütliches Beisammensein oder freundliches Gespräch haben in der Vergangenheit in unserem Traditionshaus stattgefunden. Keine Sorge, den ursprünglichen Walliserkanne-Charakter blieb auch nach dem Umbau unseres Restaurants von 2014 bewahrt. Gemütliches Ambiente, herzliche Atmosphäre, köstliches Essen, exzellente Weine und das Glück unsere Gäste liegen uns am Herzen. Die Freude am "Gastgeber sein" geben wir und unsere Mitarbeiter täglich weiter. Ob feine Fleischgerichte, traditionelle Walliser-Küche oder vegetarische Köstlichkeiten - bei uns findet garantiert jeder etwas nach seinem Gusto. "En Güete". Ps: Haben wir schon erwähnt, dass Gastgeber Hannes leidenschaftlicher Jäger ist? Fragen Sie ihn nach köstlichen Jagdspezialitäten.

The good news was we got to eat at the adorable restaurant in this quaint little hotel in town. The waitresses and staff were a pure delight, and even when the electricity shut off for good at around 7:00pm, meal service continued on by candlelight! The kitchen was still fully operational despite the tropical storm-force winds and snow outside. We learned about this hotel and its restaurant by a sweet local woman (who now lives in Bern) we befriended on the train from Visp. She said this was the best restaurant in town and we loved it. We had a mixed salad of vegetables, the pork cordon bleu (which was incredible!) and a mini-pizza. There are all kinds of home-made pizzas on on the menu... I think that is what happens at restaurants in villages this small. The beer was awesome, the wines by the glass were not so good, but we enjoyed them anyway; were else were we going to go?! The only downside for us is that we could not stay at the hotel. By the time we disembarked the train, every property in town was booked because of stranded folks like us, so we had to rent a small room above the train station restaurant. But at La Reserve, the manager on duty personally gave us a ride home up the hill so we did not have to trudge back through the wind and snow. Dinner with a few drinks ran us just under 75 CHF. If you find yourself in St. Niklaus and in need of dinner, call ahead for a reservation and come to La Reserve!

Quite possibly the best meal I've ever experienced. Can't even describe... The plates were a veritable tour, a barrage of complex, rich flavors. So good, it defies description. 100% perfect. Highly recommended, a do not miss! Many thanks to the chef.

In einer traumhaften Umgebung, auf 2048 Meter über Meer, in der idyllischen Moosalp, als Teil einen engagierten Teams unsere Gäste zu verwöhnen - das ist für uns Lebensqualität. Wer in so einer Umgebung arbeiten darf, ist ganz einfach privilegiert - auch wenn ein Arbeitstag häufig 12 oder gar 15 Stunden dauern kann. Die Geschichte der Moosalp ist hauptsächlich geprägt von unzähligen wunderschönen Momenten in den vergangenen Jahren. Geprägt auch von vielen Schweisstropfen, welche in über 40 Jahren für das Wohl unserer Gäste investiert wurden. Unsere Lebensqualität wollen wir nicht als Geheimnis hüten - wir wollen sie weitergeben all unseren Gästen und Mitarbeitern - kulinarisch, zwischenmenschlich, auf 2048 Metern über Meer, in unserer wunderschönen Moosalp - im Sommer, wie im Winter. Danken wollen wir vor allen unseren langjährigen Gästen und Mitarbeitern, die uns zu soviel Lebensqualität verholfen haben. Seid willkommen bei uns. Carmen und Amadé Jeremy und Priscilla

This place is not a secret in Zermatt, but I think it could be considered a hidden gem. They stay busy, but that is because they have limited seating, so reservations are highly suggested for this stop. The food is spectacular. Seriously, I had lunch with a full table and everyone was impressed with the quality. The deserts are all also made fresh from scratch. The service is the best I had in Zermatt, hands down. Everyone working was extremely accommodating, polite, and their menu understanding was better than anywhere else I experienced in town.

It's almost as though they chose to take out the weak season on their guests. Poor service, reluctant is the best way to describe their attitude. Then comes the food. All easily purchased in the frozen food section of coop or migros. Finally the bill, 232 sfrs for 4, 3 of whom were children drinking water. Tap water billed at 10 sfrs. Salads from a sad salad bar for 33 sfrs! What a joke. Last time I visit.

Yelp Review 2026 #151:…read more We took a week break from eating Swiss food so, we started missing it. Restaurant Du Pont is at the end of Bahnhofstrasse. I had a lot of restaurants bookmarked in Zermatt but Du Pont was not bookmarked. We just ate a bunch of things so, after walking the town, we want back to the hotel, made a dinner reservation to this place before taking a much needed nap. You can't make a reservation in person - they will refer you to do it online. The restaurant has Matterhorn in the background. A lot of people would take pictures in front of Du Pont. We got seated on the second floor by the window with a view of town. Our server was nice and quite busy and spoke German, English and Spanish. They have different kinds of fondue. They also have raclette, spaetzle, entrecôte, ribs, minced meat with macaroni and apple sauce m, rosti with ham and cheese, and cheese sandwich. For dessert, they have Apple strudel, Toblerone chocolate mousse, coupe Denmark (aka white lady aka dame Blanche). We got cheese fondue, and chocolate fondue. Fondue Deluxe: Cheese fondue with champagne and black truffles. Their fondue is meant to be shared by 2-3 people. You get bread and potatoes to dip into the melted cheese. It's fantastic. Generous with the black truffles. 4/5 Chocolate Fondue for 2: Served with fresh fruits: strawberry pieces, apple chunks, and banana slices. This was sooo nice. We finished all the chocolate! There was an influencer/ blogger filming herself quite loudly next to us. She was talking and laughing by herself. She got fondue and burnt it because she was busy with her phone - the smell of burnt cheese isn't pleasant.

During our next trip to Zermatt last week (May 2026), we were able to get a reservation and finally try the food. The interior is sunk down and very comfortable but compact. Great ambiance that makes you feel like you're somewhere local, not a chain restaurant. It did get fairly warm inside and could use an open window. Definitely somewhere you'd want to be in the winter. The service from our waitress was very good and she was friendly, ensuring we understood what we were ordering. 2 of us did the fondue and the other did a steak dish. The fondue was very good, the best we had on our Switzerland trip. The meat was not fatty thankfully and it was flavorful. Great portion too. The side sauces were also very good, along with the French fries and rice. The broth for the fondue, not cheese, was flavorful. All in all, no one left hungry. It was a great visit for dinner and a chance to learn more about the history of the restaurant. We learned the gentleman pictured below was the first in a group to make the Trek to the top of the Matterhorn from this hotel. Very impressive considering the gear they had. We would definitely visit again the next time in Zermatt and recommend it to others.

I was fine but just a tip for ya! Lols I got cozy basement Swiss vibes here. We were seated right away on a weekday afternoon for lunch. Place was full and it's not a big restaurant so must be a popular spot. Zermatt is quite the happening spot! Ordered the fondue and the hubs and I were fine with the serving for one person so the pot was only halfway full. But if you and your other half are super hungry, better get two orders. This fondue had a white wine taste to it, which was good even though I preferred the garlic fondue I had in Lucerne. The brat and fries were delish! * Tipping is not mandatory in Switzerland. Of course if your server went above and beyond for you, feel free to round up on the check and I'm sure they would appreciate it. But I think the Swiss servers know we tip in America so when it was time to pay our bill, our waitress said "oh and if you would like to leave a tip, you can do so right here." Oh lawd so tacky and awkward but whattaya gonna do. But of course we tipped her even though she wasn't that personable and attentive. Lols

We got here and decided to sit outside, like a typical mountain town it had weather of its own and started to pour.

We ordered the hay soup for our soup course and it warmed us right up and the whole table raved about it. I would say the hay soup alone is worth stopping in. I ordered the vegetable rosti which came topped with cheese galore. I love cheese but even I couldn't manage to finish it. The service was kind and understanding of our attempts at German.

Nestled high above town, literally on the ski and hiking run (piste) between Furi and Zermatt, Blatten Restaurant provides both, a wonderful apres ski destination, a superb lunch, and interrupted views of the Matterhorn. Blatten is located in a hundreds year old hamlet of old Swiss chalets and the atmosphere is one of relaxation and enjoyment. As the restaurant has garnered an increasingly faithful following among repeat visitors, reservations are absolutely necessary. We arrived there way tired after a day at the challenging slopes of the Matterhorn Glacier and came to a full restaurant. The owner was nice enough to shuffle tables and seat us, but he made it clear that our table had a reservation two hours later. Yes, in the typical European fashion, people come here for lunch and stay until sunset, savoring the scenery and drinks. Our meals were excellent. Rosti, a typical Swiss dish, and pasta. Excellent choice for a late afternoon lunch.
