Snowboat

Very nice bar on the river with a beautiful view. Service is good and the waiters are friendly. Local draft beer was great.

Great food and great beer! We had some quesadillas as starters which were really tasty, and came with three sauces. As the main dish, the burgers were amazing and came with coleslaw which was far better than any coleslaw salad I’ve had before! The staff was also pretty friendly and fun.

Really good menu! Salads, meat, seafood... There you can eat delicious and healthy! The restaurant is downstairs, and the bar is on the first floor.

Great service. Fun and interactive staff . Stopped in after a long day of mountain biking and sat on the main level bar at the open window. We had a beer, a wine and some natchos with three dips. As a Canadian - the natchos reminded me of Doritos and the dips were guacamole, sour cream and chive dip, and a tomatoe salsa. It was quick service in a fun environment. I would go back!!

Really enjoyed our meal! The staff were fast, friendly and efficient. I had the lamb, which was lovely - as was the deconstructed lemon pie for afters. Great location, and the interior was decorated like a sexy pirate ship.

During lockdown the restaurant is working for take-away only and proposes few sets of sushi. Due to a high demand sometimes you need to wait up to an hour, but it totally worth it! Sushi are delicious!

Not sure their service was good enough. Damn price. They charged me 41 francs for a crab burger and a bottle of beer. Food taste was not too bad but never worth that price. I feel like they ripped me off.

This is where the locals go for a drink and the tourist stumble upon a great bartending staff. Highly recommend a few drinks and great conversations with everyone!

Solid choice. Quick and friendly service. Ambience is fine, a small dark bar in a prime location near the lifts. Gets busy for apres but we were lucky enough to snag a table for pre-dinner drinks. Can't comment on food but cocktails are good enough. Pricing is definitely at resort levels but that's expected.

What a great find after getting off the gondola! The staff was some of the friendliest we've had in Switzerland. Great selection of drinks and they were delicious! Very relaxing to unwind on the rooftop terrace.

Super nice staff and delicious cocktails. Terrace space is very enjoyable to sit on, especially after a day of hiking.

Fantastic cocktails and a great terrace to relax and enjoy them with friends after a long day of hiking. The bartenders make cocktails right and are super friendly. Highly recommend!

We went here for martinis...the bartender was drunk so didn't listen well so we asked for a fix. The bartender drank his mistakes and then charged us. When we asked for him to fix the bill, he threatened us, told us "You pay now!" and slammed his hand on the table more than once. The female server came over to fix things but only pretended to and still financed charging all the drinks to our bills. WORST experience ever. What a terrible example of employees being drunk and taking advantage of tourists.

Went last night with a group of friends, and had the Bouillabaisse which was less thick & flavorful than the traditional French version, but was fine (despite being garnished with Cilantro, which I love, but WTF?). Anyway, the appetizers were some bizarre amalgamation & cross-mix of Mexican, Middle-Eastern, & Japanese. We all agreed they were dreadful. Everybody's meal was 'OK', except the burger which was way overdone. I would have given 3 stars, but for two things: we all got sick from something (we blamed the pulled-pork 'amuse bouche', which was awful), & the waitress emphasized in no uncertain terms at the end of the meal that 'tips were not included'. Much better choices in Zermatt...

Fantastic small snacks like ribs and fajitas. Also had a salad and burger. Waitress was very nice and spoke great English. We sat in the "veuve clicquot" lounge part on the roof. Excellent place to hit after hiking Rothorn.

OMG! This was the best food so far after two weeks in Europe. A great little bar-like place with an outstanding and inventive cocktail list and an equally impressive and eclectic mix of items on the menu. Where do I start? WOW. I visited Snowboat in the summer with my wife and two daughters. First, the whole place really is shaped like a boat. Great design, neat feel. You walk in to what feels like an apres ski bar / coffee house which I learned later from speaking with the owner is basically how it got started a few years ago. You can tell it would still be a great après ski hangout in the winter with a beautiful deck on the roof. They started serving full meals more recently. In an unexpected twist, there was a backyard gas grill at then end of the bar and a tiny, makeshift kitchen where two fully-suited chefs were working their magic. As weird as that was, you could certainly smell the flavors coming from that grill and we were intent on finding a seat. I had read that the chef is Mexican and, after speaking to the bartender, I learned that he was from Holland. And, I think I heard some British accents working in there as well so it's kind of hard to figure out the whole place. But, it had an almost modern English pub feel. Unfortunately, there were no tables available. But, one of the servers (who seemed to be doing a bit of everything very successfully) invited us up to the bar and she pulled an extra chair over for us. We were warned up front that they were busy, had limited capacity and that there would be a wait. So, we settled in to review the menu and order drinks. The menu was a wonderfully tantalizing mix of Mexican, Asian, bar, gourmet burger and a few other things thrown in there as well. Behind the bar was an incredible mix of homemade liquors and other alcohols from around the world. As we were perusing the menu, I noticed that the bartender was using lots of fresh ingredients and doing some crazy mixology back there. I was having a great time just watching him. Wife ordered a Pimm's and I got a Hendrick's G&T. Bartender offered me fresh cucumbers and cracked pepper for the G&T.....delish. Pimm's was great as well and was more like a British Sangria, full of fruit. We ordered our food and then considered a next round of drinks. Got a great chance to speak to the bartender. Even though he was busy, he gave some background on the restaurant and then recommended some drinks. He made a point to let us know that they didn't want to just create a cocktail list or menu like anywhere else. They wanted to be unique. I can definitely say they succeeded. He recommended an Apelor Sour for my wife (a sweet and sour apple and pineapple concoction including bitters, sugar, pineapple juice, some sorts of alcohol incl. Apelor and a frothy pineapple layer on top) and their version of a Dark and Stormy for me. Both excellent. My wife loved the Apelor and I think it must be on her top 5 list of best cocktails ever. Then, he offered to make my kids an apple juice with the frothy pineapple mixture on top at no charge. They loved it. For dinner, I got the spicy chicken burrito with potatoes and salad, kids split the chicken satay "burger" (a bit grown up for them but they removed some of the sauce and liked it). Wife got the prawn "burger" (prawns, guacamole, salsa, etc.) and she loved it as well. Everything was fresh and, for the items we tried, I can definitely say that I had never had anything like them before. Food was a little on the spicy side. This is a small place so get there early. There's just a little bit of seating inside with some tables outside as well. There is a deck upstairs with lounge seating and a bar and, apparently, they use the basement for a tasting menu in the winter but it is closed in the summer. I don't think I've ever written a YELP review this long but I really fell in love with every aspect of Snowboat from the cocktail and food menus to the people that work there to the vibe. Keep on sailin' Snowboat. We'll be back.

Best burger I've had in 10 years ! Swiss beef is excellent and it's was cooked to perfection ..potatoes were tasty as well!

Had seen some reviews and asked the front desk at our hotel for a lunch recommendation and Snowboat was a first choice! Convenient location with a variety of seating. Ordered the boat salad with goat cheese. Salad was huge! And fresh/ delicious! Bartender was our server since we went at an off time and he was super nice and helpful.

Small, cozy bar with friendly staff and a great selection of tasty drinks. This is a definite staple for the Zermatt bar scene, and I'd highly suggest checking it out.
