Affordable Zermatt Restaurants

While the majority of Zermatt’s 100 restaurants sway towards upscale, with so many options—and visitors annually—there’s bound to be a variety of modestly-priced fare. If you’re looking for authentic Swiss cuisine you’ll want to head to Schwyzer Stübli, which provides live genuine Swiss music and dancing, Aroleid, which is renowned as the best place to get rösti, a traditional potato dish, or Whymper Stube for exceptional and reasonably-priced fondue. Once you’ve had your fill of rich, delicious Swiss food try some of other Zermatt affordable restaurants, like Mexican at the Weisshorn or pub food at Sparky’s. If curry and a little heat sound like just the thing on a cold winter night, head to The Pipe for Asian/African dishes and warming Thai curry at Rua.
