Chez Vrony Restaurant- Website:
- www.chezvrony.ch
Renowned for its fantastic mountain restaurants, Zermatt is heaven for foodies and gourmet enthusiasts. Anyone who wants to sample top quality cuisine in wonderfully traditional Alpine surroundings, rather than settling for the usual jam-packed, over-priced, self-service canteens that many resorts claim to be restaurants, will fall in love with Zermatt. One of the highlights is Chez Vrony, a little mountain hut tucked away in the Findeln area just off piste number six in the Sunnegga area.
From the outside, it doesn’t look like anything out of the ordinary, but once inside, you enter into a cosy, welcoming world full of the smells of delicious home-made goodness. The recipes have been handed down throughout the generations and the ingredients are organic and locally produced. For Zermatt, the prices are reasonable and the quality of the food just superb. The atmosphere means this is a place for a long and leisurely lunch, and with a short ski down to the chair, it’s ideal for those who want a more relaxed week in the Alps. This has to be one of the best restaurants in this world-famous resort and due to its popularity, reservations in winter are essential.
