    Walliserkanne, in the central section of the main street, you can’t miss it

    It’s been my favourite for years

    We ate at Grampi’s. It was the best Italian food and service was fantastic We got in without a reservation but I think we were lucky. It was very busy

    Hi,

    You might want to try Swiss Chalet Zermatt on Bahnhofstrasse 18. Never tried the fondue but the place looks so cosy and interesting from the outside.

    Regards,

    Hi Angielee396,

    I have been a cook (not a chef, mind you, but a cook) for forty years. I realize ones palate is different on every human being. That being said, try the Zermatterstubli. Its located maybe a quarter mile or so from the train station, (heading south) on the Bahnhofstrasse. It’s the restaurant at the Hotel Darioli. I had my first cheese fondue there and it was excellent. There is a ‘finer’ restaurant located in the back, but I had a fantastic fondue in the ‘front’, after a day of hiking and such. It was both fantastic, and not so expensive. I believe that if one comes out of a restaurant happy, then it was a good place to eat. There are tons of places to eat there. I hope this gets to you are still there…. Another place is right across from the Gornergrat train station. Viktoria, about a hundred meters or so, down on the right, (on Getwingstrasse). Nice quaint place to go into. I believe one of the ‘unsung hero’s’ of the Swiss is their cuisine. It is surrounded by three of the hugely (if that’s a word) popular cuisines in the world, and presented just as beautifully. Again, I hope you read this while still there. Enjoy the remainder of your trip.

    Regards,

    Danielsan
