Restaurant Zum See

Restaurant Zum See is an amazing mountain restaurant, run by the couple Markus and Marion. Everything is homemade — even the pasta. We had carpaccio, tagliatelle Bolognese, fillet with rösti, and finished with a Kässchnitte and an espresso. Everything was excellent, and honestly, every other dish we saw coming out of the kitchen looked just as tempting. The location is fantastic: set in old mountain huts, about a 40-minute walk from Zermatt. Of course you can also get there skiing. A perfect combination of great food, atmosphere, and hospitality. We’ll definitely be back

Lovely cosy place, perfectly situated for a food break on our hike down the mountain. Although we did not book a reservation the staff managed to get us a table. Our food was exquisite and by far the best meal we have had during our stay in Zermatt. I really recommend this restaurant for anyone passing by, just make sure to make reservations!

Wow is all I can say. What an incredible day and it started with this place. I own restaurants and when I discuss hospitality with my staff, this is what I am for. Marcus the owner was incredible, kind, and contagious. Fabian the server is someone I could only dream to have working at my place. Now to the food….. we started with fish soup that blew our minds, my main was a veal steak with their homemade noodles and sauce, and finished with their famous Zum See dessert that they have on postcards when you walk inside. All around one of the best culinary experiences I’ve ever had. I dream one day Marcus and his family will visit North Carolina and allow me to serve them. 10 stars, I would come back to zermatt just for this experience.

Great meal in Zermatt, although it does involve a 15 minute downhill hike from Furi station, followed by a 15 minute downhill hike back to town. Service was attentive, but not intrusive. The mains were excellent, especially the rosti with lamb. We didn’t really enjoy the apple streudel, but the cinnamon ice cream was delicious. I would say it’s worth the trek

Most amazing restaurant setting I have ever seen. No words can describe the view and atmosphere here. Far away from all the tourists flocking the city centre of Zermatt. It is like an old mountain village converted into a super cosy restaurant with outdoor seating areas around every corner. Great food, super friendly staff and an amazing wine list come as an absolute bonus. Whenever I visit Zermatt again, this is my place to go to 💯

We just stop for some drinks, but i saw the food they served looks great. All staff are very nice and the atmosphere was fantastic. I love this place❤️.

Delicious!!! Liked the food Soo much, returned 3 days later… loved the salad dressing so much, I had to buy it (French dressing). The steak with pepper sauce and the curry pasta…delicious!!! The merengue with ice cream… amazing!

LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!! There was no space outside so ended up eating inside and very happy about it. The restaurant is very cozy and warmth full . The food is amazing and portions are perfect. It is a must try!! Réservation because very busy. All staff is friendly and polite.

Quaint ski or hike to restaurant. Owner is present and a local. Dishes are fresh. Highly recommend the fish soup. The waiter was personable and attentive. You can sit inside or outside in heated covered patio. Decor is dreamy. This is a must do in Zermatt.

Delish! Fantastic lunch and dessert from Zum See just above Zermatt. We had a Crute and Summer Vegetables as our meals and they were divine. Best food we've had in Switzerland. The service was stellar with friendliness, accommodation, and knowledge of the menu. The tables are scattered outside on a beautiful terrace, amongst the trees and hills. It couldn't have been a better setting! They even accommodated my allergy. Expect to spend 70chf for two people with no alcohol. 80chf with dessert. Worth the splurge! Highly recommend Zum See!

Amazing food!!! My friends and I loved every part of our dining experience! Fantastic service, top notch food and wine, cozy ambiance, fresh ingredients and beautifully plated dishes. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

Favorite restaurant in Zermatt! We skied down to this charming restaurant (Furi lift-Piste 50) and had the most amazing late lunch. The goulash soup was a definite highlight (better than the one my Austrian dad makes from scratch....shhh, don't tell him!). The Apfelkuchen reminded me of the one my Viennese grandmother made for me every year when I visited her in Austria, so authentic! The ambiance was warm and welcoming and the service made us feel like we were old friends. I can't recommend this gem enough and it will be the first place we book when we come back! Vielen Dank and bis nächstes Jahr!!

Food, Tortelloni and Fendant wine was amazing as was the service and Napoleon dessert specialty. Great location with inside and outside sitting. We sat inside and enjoyed the atmosphere and camaraderie with other guests. Great set up with a place to hang or ski helmets.

Wonderful lunch in an incredible setting. We felt transported back in time in this beautiful alpine hut. Attentive service even when restaurant was full. Loved the lamb Provençal and tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms.

Amazing a must go. I loved all the flavors. Original and so tasty. A must. So lucky I reserved a spot. . From the appetizers to the desserts a must have ! Most favorite of my trip to Zermatt!

This was an amazing discovery. Hidden in an old style village just off the ski slopes. Staff was amazing navigating the different cultures. Make reservations as they get busy with skiers who have discovered this secret gem. Bring a few extra francs not to miss their wine list. They have really nice white wine from the region just above the restaurant. Tiglianello 2017. Sun block is essential. However worth getting a bit burnt outside. Walk up to this restaurant in summer and earn those extra calories. Beautiful 30 min hike from the south side of zermatt.

Might have been my favorite restaurant in Zermatt. Have to be careful about getting there, since you ski to a fork in the road then when you arrive in the old hamlet with a cluster of wooden huts, take your skis off and walk to the restaurant. The setting is incredible. It is in the midst of the hamlet which is worth seeing alone. Little paths between buildings, the architecture is so Swiss !! Of course it was packed, but we squeezed into the restaurant that was busy and the waitstaff very busy. The food was wonderful. I spoke with the chef who was outside taking a break. On a table was an entire table of freshly made Napoleon. It was so light and delicious. In the summer, it'd be a great reward if you hiked up from the valley for a meal. Yet, the stout Swiss were hiking all over the valley, up and down, with and without skis. Loved it.

I've been here a few times for lunch while hiking or skiing. During Ski season there is quite a mix of hikers and skiers and busy. Reservations are definitely needed. The food is quite diverse and interesting and have had no complaints It is family ran with good service

You will not find a more memorable meal, location, and service. Homemade pastas and seasonal foods. We had lovely pastas and salads + an amazing summer Neapolitan for desert. Coffee to finish it off. And the setting cant be beat--sitting under the gaze of The Matterhorn. Go here and have great memories.

Wow. This was by far one of the best lunch on the slopes! It's about a 35 minute hike up from the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise gondola station, but well worth it. You can also ski in from the topside. The pasta is all hand made and so delectable! Among the 4 of us, we sampled the beef stroganoff, the veal spaghetti bolognese, the seafood pasta, and the rosti with ham and eggs. Everything was so delicious and flavorful! For dessert, we shared the Napoleon and Apple Strudel. I would recommend a double order of the Napoleon--it was heavenly!

Amazing scenario and atmosphere. We had the quail salad which was amazing. The lamb is very very popular but I thought it was alright. Slightly plan. They are also famous for their Napoleon which I thought it was only alright. Great place to check out but not the restaurant in town.
