“ Food was amazing. The mixed salad was one of the best I've had. We also had the shrimp pasta, lamb, meat loaf, and kids pasta. All we're great. Don't skip dessert either, we had the chocolate and apricot cake both great. ”
“ Lovely gem of a restaurant, with great food and friendly service! We had the cheese fondue, lamb rack, garlic prawn tagliatelle, and cold cut platter, all of which were delicious. ”
“ The owners of the place are Really awesome. Give them a minute to warm up to you, they will guide you and its worth listening. I have never liked liver in my life……… ever …..i hated it. My bf order it medium saignant and the texture and taste were like nothing ever before We are back to have more today We had cheese fondue and mussels as well 100% for the mussels. Epic small but very sweet and the broth was nicely garlicky. The view is the best in all of Zermatt to boot!! In the winter afternoon you are jacket less and sunbathing on their amazing terrace. The fact we came back twice speaks volumes we rarely will not want to try a new place. But it was something all night we spoke about and planned to finish our adventure here!!! Tell them those darn Canadians sent us!! ”
