This is a nice family restaurant in a town that is lacking that sort of facility. One of the issues I find in Switzerland is that it hard to get a meal outside of their established hours. Most places around here simply won't serve you between 2pm and 6pm. I find that really annoying. For God's sake, you're on vacation and Gstaad is a vacation destination, so why not try to better cater to the needs of some of the guests?
This brings me to Arc-En-Ciel. This place serves up the majority of their menu anytime of day. It is just so convenient when maybe you've been hiking on the Eggli for a couple of hours and need a late lunch at 3pm.
The service here is very professional and particularly child friendly. I guess because of the hotel, the restaurant has a playroom downstairs for the kids, and even a little playground outside by the parking lot with little electric go-carts.
The food is very consistent, typical Swiss, but also decent pastas and pizzas. I would say it's the best place to go for quality meals if you have small children and want to please your whole family.
