"This stylish offshoot of the New York flagship restaurant brings a modern and cosmopolitan take on Japanese cuisine, serving up sushi, sashimi and rolls, as well as Wagyu beef and chicken teriyaki. Fittingly, star designer Noé Duchafour-Lawrence drew inspiration from the Far East to create the sophisticated and distinctive interior. There is also a sushi counter, where – as you might expect in an establishment of this calibre – sushi master Tsutomu Kugota works his magic. In summer, the terrace is a delightful spot." - Michelin Inspector

Are New York Restaurants Becoming Boring? | Eater NY

"At the clubby Japanese spot Megu, I note that Bachelor alum Arie Luyendyk Jr. and his fiancée Lauren Burnham dined there and were reportedly “all over each other,” even feeding each other sushi." - Stefanie Tuder

We came for the sushi… and yes, it was excellent 🍣 But honestly, the Wagyu beef appetiser completely stole the show. Perfectly tender, beautifully marbled, full of flavour — one of those bites that makes you pause for a second. And then the dessert arrived and quietly took the crown 👑 Elegant, balanced, and simply delicious. A special thank you to our waitress for her attentive and professional service — warm, discreet, and perfectly on point. A refined and memorable dining experience in Gstaad ✨

Maybe the best dining experience ever. The food was absolutely delicious- perfection- and the staff was so friendly and accommodating. We had 4 kids with us and they went out of their way to make them feel welcomed and give them a great experience. I really can’t say enough. After reading the past reviews, it seems like the food and the service has really changed for the better.

Absolutely flawless! I can’t recommend Megu highly enough – the food was outstanding from start to finish. The vegetarian and vegan options were fantastic, and the sushi was honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Exceptional Japanese cuisine in a beautiful setting.

We had lunch at Megu at The Alpina Gstaad yesterday with the boys and it was fantastic. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and the food was outstanding beautifully presented and full of flavour. A perfect spot for a stylish lunch in Gstaad. Highly recommended!

Lovely, warm, and delicious! Great spot to relax and enjoy the food. Each dish is well characterized by its own tastes and is unique to this place. The chef is talented in mixing yuzu with foods that its taste just makes a lot of sense. My favorite part was being served fresh wasabi in the middle of Swiss alps!

Totally exaggerated prices, food was overly sweet, presentation and taste of a salmon sold for over 50 chf was very much like in average canteen. Sorry to admit that only decor remained the same of the restaurant once cherished and service, which was still excellent

Food was ok, nothing extraordinary. Service was terrible! The waitress were nice, however the managers were greatly impolite and it looked like customers were disturbing them. We’ve paid over 400 franks for lunch and it was not worth it.

We only dined here because the hotel gave us on-site restaurant vouchers. Every single dish was so expensive purposely done so that it was impossible to dine there for free ! The sushi wasn’t fresh, but considering it is in the alps they deserve a break. The service is slow and the restaurant is overrated. If you’re looking for a special, authentic experience in Switzerland don’t come here.

The nice thing about Megu is that they stay open till 3pm for lunch rather than the usual 2pm. The restaurant is situated inside Alpine hotel and the outdoor seating are nice if the weather permit. Overall I was a bit disappointed given I had much better Japanese food for less money. Maybe because it's in Switzerland and in a hotel that's why the pricy a bit high. If the prices were average I would rate it 4 stars but for the prices I expected more tasteful food. We started with the crispy asparagus and the vegetable tempura. The crispy asparagus presentation was beautiful but both dishes were standard. The crab salad was way below average. It had a weird citrusy taste that really ruined it. As for the main dishes the sea bass and the crispy spyder Maki were better than the starters. Finally we finished off with alpine coupe. The alpine coupe was mostly whipped cream which we are not a big fans off. Would rather get an extra scoop of ice cream. Overall would not recommend driving all the way to dine here unless you are staying in the hotel and feeling lazy in leaving. Here are my ratings: Crispy asparagus: 7/10 Veggie tempura: 7/10 Crab salad: 5.5/10 Seabass: 8/10 Spinach as side: 8/10 Spyder Maki: 8/10 Alpine coupe: 7/10
