    Happy 2018, everyone! Would like to ask if anyone can recommend some restaurants that are not too over-priced and come with a nice view in expensive Zermatt? For our 1st evening we hope have a twilight view on higher ground of the village so preferable dinner in the area. We have 2 nights there. Thank you.

    We were in Zermatt in late November, 2017. Two of us eat meat, one is a vegetarian and the other is a pescatarian (eats vegetables, fish and seafood). Usually this is a hard group to feed but we had no problems in Zermatt. The first night we had fondue and salads/sandwiches at Old Zermatt. Three of us shared the fondue–it’s an enormous portion. Very cozy and comfy.

    Next night we ate dinner at Post Stubli and lunch at the Brown Cow (the hotel‘s bar/restaurant).. Both were very good.

    We splurged at the Omnia which was simply fantastic–can’t say enough about the food and service there.

    We also ate at Puro Cervo, which was very good–lots of choices from giant hamburgers to great fish.

    We had pizza for lunch at a very large Italian restaurant near the Lindt chocolate shop–sorry don’t remember the name.

    Everywhere we ate the service was very good and the food was great–however by far the Omnia was simply the best–since we were there before the “season” we were able to get in. From what we understand, that’s not possible for anyone but hotel guests when the season starts.
