Excellent meal. We had a great time

Warm welcome and friendly service upon arrival, the promise of a very good meal. The dishes were exquisite, with a special mention for the meat, exceptionally tender. A big thank you for the welcome and the quality service.

Best meat in town and excellent service too.

A great chef John, an exceptional restaurant, quality and attentive to its customers. An authentic person like his cuisine. Nothing to say, we are always delighted to be able to taste these delicious meats. Don’t hesitate for a second and congratulations to John and his team 🥩💌

Very friendly welcome, excellent meats, in quantity!, delicious salad, amazing wine from the owner, reasonable price. What more ? We recommend!

We eat sublime meat there... big pieces. I highly recommend.

This is the restaurant I chose on my last day in Montreux and the last day of my trip to Switzerland! Personally, I was happy with my time in Montreux, and it was a good restaurant that I chose for my last stop. The store owner and all the staff were really friendly and welcomed me in a pleasant way, so I tried to get a small size but ended up getting a large size haha. We were given salad and bread before the main menu, and the recommended wine was also delicious. And the meat was really soft, so I didn't regret ordering a large size at all 👍👍 Next time I come to Montreux, this is a store I will visit again without delay. For this kind of food at Swiss prices... it was a truly excellent choice. I liked the atmosphere of the store because it was so cozy!! Special thanks for the friendly service💜 I think I can leave Switzerland looking forward to seeing you again in the future. thank you!

The food was very tasty and the portions were very good-natured! I can highly recommend the restaurant! The staff is also very nice and accommodating - all in all, everything was just right

We stopped in on the day we arrived to Europe and honestly had no idea what to expect. We absolutely loved our steaks and still crave them. My husband even jokes about flying into Geneva just to get another one (I wish!!) It was about 45CHF per person, which honestly seemed expensive at first, but after spending another 10 days traveling through Switzerland, Germany, and Italy, 30-50CHF or € depending on the area is what you typically would pay for any sit-down restaurant. This was by far our top meal. Highly recommend and hope to be back someday 😄

One of the best steak I’ve ever had - not just in Montreux, in Switzerland, or in Europe - in the world. And I’ve been to many acclaimed steakhouses in North America, Italy, the U.K, Japan, Korea, and so on. Chez John’s steak is clean-tasting, sweet, and lean but also tender to a fault. I am usually a fan of fattier cuts but if all lean beef tasted like that I’d be a convert! The hot stone the steak comes on ensures that your meat is never cold but the steak also develops a crust slowly throughout your meal - ingenious! And the fries and sauces - don’t even get me started! There’s a lot of thought and heart that went into creating the sauces that accompanied the meal. A luscious herb butter, three types of aioli-esque dips with curry, herbs, or tomato & cocktail sauce. Though the beef is already perfect on its own, the sauces make the meal so much more interesting! And the fries are absolutely perfection. Simple, crispy, well salted (feels like double fried fries). Last but not least, chef and owner John is a kind, friendly, and welcoming host. It was a real pleasure visiting his phenomenal steakhouse, extremely underrated for what it is. For visitors going to Chillón Castle or the Queen Experience Studio, this is close enough and a must visit in my opinion. You will not regret it!

A very good atmosphere. The cuisine is excellent. I recommend this restaurant to have a great time.

Saturday we went to eat... Best restaurant on the Riviera... Nothing added!!!

Super cool boss, great waitress, the meat is just too good. Great address.

Amazing ! What service and what meat! Top of the range. Excellent experience I will not hesitate to come back

We had an amazing time!!! My steak was delicious and the sauces could not have been better. John, the host, is exceptional. My husband is a picky eater and loved his meal. If you are in the area, do not miss!!!

John was super welcoming and the lunch we had there was fantastic, steak and fries with a lovely side salad. Highly recommended

Delicious food and friendly staff. We had the beef and it was amazing!

I had a great time. Extra good dishes. Choice of meats, horse and bison also. Simple and efficient service. John is super welcoming and happily explains his work! A good address I will come back

TO FLEE!!! The meats are not that exceptional…Lower WEIGHT…the pieces seem smaller than promised…! The boss makes a spectacle of himself during the meal and is too curious!

This is the best place to eat meat!!!! The cook John is one of the best in the world!! You pay 45 francs.- and you have a beef steak the size of a city with excellent sauces and incredible fries!!! This place is beautiful, come see for yourself!!!!!

Good food but the boss's behavior borders on mistreatment with his young employees (also noted by the other customers present)... For this simple and good reason, we will not come back!

The food is incredibly amazing and the chef is very friendly and kind. We arrived lated due to a traffic jam on the way but still got a table. Highly recommend. 10/10.

Very good food,, friendly staff

The owner of the place is a kind person who loves Saudi Arabia and has visited it before. He helps you choose the food

Best beef I have ever had in Montreux and Switzerland. Chef and staff were very friendly. I love the "Beef pro Natura" menu. I should order large size instead! I miss his beef already when I come back home 🤣 Will definitely recommend this restaurant to all of my friends!

Great meal, great wine, friendly and kind chief. The sauces are amazing. Recommend!

We had a wonderful time here! John’s steak was the best we’ve had in our travels in Switzerland so far. John and (I think is his wife) were extremely funny and friendly, we felt great hospitality! Highly recommended for all who are looking for some good steak in Montreux!

Friendly staff, welcoming boss, attentive, super nice! Meat on tender and generous slate. Everything was very good, nothing negative. Since discovering this restaurant 3 years ago, I have been going back there regularly...and it's always great! Well done John.

Delicious meat and side dishes, excellent welcome and service 👍. Excellent value for money. We enjoy ourselves every time 😋🤩

Absolutely Amazing!!! If you are ever in the area please do yourself a favor and have dinner here!

Can't recommend this place enough. Not only for the great food but the amazing hospitality for us and our little one. Will definitely be back next time we travel in the area.

Menu at frs 19.50 Salad, plate of the day, mineral.

Friendly atmosphere, warm welcome and succulent meat.

Very nice place, excellent service and delicious meal! Everyone was very pleasant and the meal was a lot of fun.

Wonderful food, spectacular service and very pleasant place. It was a unique experience. I recommend ordering the local wine.

The tenderness of the meat, the sympathy of the team, the quality of the accompaniments, no fuss, no unpleasant surprises, only happiness, meat lovers you have found the entrance to paradise.

Crazy steakhouse with meat generously served on slate, value for money. Nice and relaxed atmosphere. Simple decor

Unassuming building but maybe the best steak I’ve had in my life! Waitress and cook are hilarious!

For meat lovers, not to be missed.

10/10. Chef John was welcoming, funny and cooks fantastic food. Great size portions for the money, our small steaks came with chips and a generous side salad. Atmosphere of the restaurant was fantastic, felt like friends instantly. A must visit for great steak!

Great steakhouse! The boss is friendly, top service and the meat is excellent!

Without exaggerating or exaggerating, this is one of the coolest restaurants I've visited considering the wonderful decor and the fact that they served the meat on an incredibly hot block of stone which made the meat completely clear and kept it warm. The staff were very nice and service-oriented and immediately started to speak English with us when the waitress understood that we did not speak French. Incredibly clean and fresh throughout the restaurant. The food was really world class, it was so good and I got an incredible amount of food on my plate. Good prices on the various options that were available. I can really warmly recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Great welcome, top menu and exceptional quality meat 😎 It was very good, I highly recommend!

Address to recommend. Super good meat.

Impeccable welcome Impeccable service Extraordinary meat quality without exaggeration (at least for the US bison, the others, I haven't tasted. Go there with your eyes closed. 5/5 👍🏻

Very good restaurant, it's like home, thank you for the welcome 👍😁

Very pleasant and friendly staff and the food was very good

Great restaurant to discover and rediscover again and again!! Thanks John!!

We ate really well. The meat is of very, very good quality. I advise you to book. I happily recommend this restaurant.

Always a delight! Excellent quality and best chef!

Great service since the phone call, to the entry until the end. Great value and some good quality beef!

Excellent, the boss is an original which changes from the classic servers. I recommend. 👍

Went here for dinner with a friend we got a glass of Pinot noir per chef John and fondue! Both were so good, the fondue was a great comfort meal and everyone was very friendly! Would go again!!

Great atmosphere! Meat specialties 🥩 on slate of excellent quality! which can be accompanied by a large choice of wine 🍷 available by the glass. All served by very friendly and welcoming staff.

The Pave steak natural was the best steak I’ve tasted. Very high quality. It’s served very rare but sizzling on a very hot and thick metal plate so you can adjust exactly how cooked you want it. From rare to well done. Chez John paired it with a nice red wine.

Nice service who talks a lot but provides entertainment. The meat on the hot stone was delicious.

Very friendly service, our dog was warmly welcomed. Good food, top service, highly recommended!

Oh my goodness, if you’re coming to Montreux, DO NOT MISS THIS RESTAURANT! It’s worth every penny for an excellent meal and excellent service! John is super friendly and he took his time explaining the entire menu to us Americans that couldn’t read any of it. Lol Then when the steak came we couldn’t believe how tender and amazing it was! Our only regret is that we leave Montreux tomorrow or else we’d eat there two nights in a row it was so good and reasonably priced for all the food that you get. Wow! I would give it 10 stars if I could. PS you do cook your own steak on a slate stone so you can’t go wrong with how rare/well you like your steak.

Once again a delicious meal. I love the concept of 'cooking' your steak on a hot stone. C'etait magnific comme toujours. Thanks John

Very good food. Price performance was excellent, nice service and the boss also comes by to see if everything is ok.. Can only recommend it

It was a great experience, the chef came to the table and recommended the large chicken salad with fries to go with it, I can say it was one of the best salads I've ever eaten, and I've eaten a lot 🤪 Good service and very fast and efficient, prices are in order with the location, I will come back 😊

Very friendly chef and waitress, warm home atmosphere, a tender and tasty meat fillet fondue, a treat and a pleasure, accompanied by a bottle at very reasonable prices. THANKS. The slates definitely deserve a second pass.

If you really like beef/steak, this is the real deal. The pro natura is just Extraordinary. Chef john is very welcoming, service is fast. Seems like I really can’t get enough of this wonderful place..

John serves steak on hot stone. He is quite welcoming. The meat quality is really good. His restaurant deserves such a high rating. My portion was 450gr of Cerf fillet plus 450gr of beef fillet. It comes with a green salad as starter and french fries, baked potato and veggies as side dish. Overall, I have doubt any other steak house in Switzerland can beat value to money of Chez John.

I had the best steak in Switzerland… so creamy, so soft, meat is very fresh… and staff extremely nice, the brought me a huge portion. Totally deserve the high rating! ✌️

Exceptional bison 😍 Delicious fries. Really everything was perfect. The owner is super friendly and attentive. Nothing to complain about, I highly recommend.

I can’t recommend enough to visit this place. We tried The Pavé de bœuf Pro Natura, and I seriously think it’s the best steak I’ve ever tried in my life. Hats off to the staff, exceeded all expectations!

Very nice hosts, great food, good value for money. 👍🏻

Relaxed atmosphere, all the staff took great care of us, generous welcome as well as the portions and superb wines. Meat on slate, simply fantastic. Find out about the quantities, because there is no cheating. John and his deadpan humor made us laugh.

Nice welcome and very good meat 👍

If you like meat, absolute tip! Ordering a table is necessary.

Thanks John! The meat was super good and the service was top notch!

More than anything, it’s the atmosphere and Meat Thanks John

Cozy place. Fabulous meat. Everything perfect, see you next time 🙏🏻🥂

It is not uncommon to be disappointed by most Swiss restaurants... too high prices, small portions, poor value for money..... But yesterday, we discovered this restaurant which is truly a rare gem. Exceptional quality, good service, more than generous portions, good wine... The generosity is felt in the atmosphere and we appreciate it very much. Thank you so much.

Very good meat on slate for small or big eater. Very friendly staff, boss on duty. I recommend it to you without moderation

We were greeted by the boss himself, friendly staff, the meat was excellent and fresh. Happy to come back, then XL+!! Greetings from Boris and Carmen 👋

A TREAT ! Excellent cuisine! the chef is very friendly and gives very good advice! I recommend 100% and I will return!

Family place where the quality of the food is very good. You can taste the dish of the day for a good price, knowing that prices for eating in Switzerland are high.

I chose this restaurant because we are looking for a steak restaurant and this place have the highest rating in the area, so we decided to go for it and that was one of the best decision that we made in our trip. the food was delicious we try the beef steak the standard one and the premium one (sorry I forget the name haha) we also order the kids meal for my little one, for the wine was also perfect we order the Chile wine by glass. The steak is so tender the taste comes from the meat itself, it is served in hotplate so you can decide how cooked it is, the sauces (there are four types) is optional dare I say. the steak is already so juicy and delicious by itself. Sorry we are not fluent in French so it took some time for us to order haha, John keep on helping us while he was cooking in the kitchen (we are the Indonesian with one boy if you remember). this restaurant is loved by the locals we can felt it; when we were there all the tables are occupied and all were having a great time. for our next trip to Switzerland for sure we will visit again. hopefully I can speak a little French by that time haha. for you all that visit Montreux you must try this restaurant, especially if you like steak; the price is actually the on par with Jakarta fancy steak restaurant, but you get better taste and quality here I can guarantee.

John is very welcoming and created a great experience for us. He guided us through the wine and meat options to help us decide. The quality of the meat was great and having it served seared on a hot plate made it interactive and meant we could choose the level of cooking. Would return and recommend.

Super great meat. Good price. Full and drunk. What more do you want! To recommend.

A great atmosphere at John's. A beer from Russia, a wine from home! top Lamb 🐂, 🦌 and bison meat on the Grill. A very good ☕ to recommend

The place is simple but warm, the team takes great care, the menu is not very extensive and that is precisely a guarantee of freshness! The quality is really excellent, as are the quantities! If you come out and you're still hungry, there's a problem. Bottles of wine have never disappointed me I recommend booking in advance though. And if you don't know what to get, the bison steak on slate is famous

This is the second time I've ever cried because the food was so good! The Pavé de bœuf Pro Natura was perfect! Staff was super nice as well. Not the last time I've been here.

I WILL JUST SAY ONE WORD PERFECT !!! Today Saturday 09.10.21 We want for a Dinner at this Restaurant, I won't write much Word, see it Video and decide Your one. The Chef also a cook, He is responsible for everything, Food,Atmosphere, kindness Also ladys Personal Are amazing, They speaking perfekt English, Becouse we came from German side of CH And we don’t speak French. German they speaking to. We will come back for sure.

We has an absolutely amazing experience. Both Chez John and Amelia were very entertaining, friendly, and caring hosts. The food, desserts, and wine were perfect and prices were more than fair for Swiss standards. Easily the best dining experience weve had on a 17-day Eurotrip. Absolutely recommend this place!!!

Good evening and great meal Well done to John and his team.

Do you like it 🥩?? So what are you waiting for??

Very friendly staff. Food was very good and the prices are more than fair!

John is a character who speaks so fast it is difficult to keep up. But he cooks well and the portions are generous. The shrimp was very fresh and the curry tasty. Disappointed that there were no mussels and John explained that calling a day in advance was necessary for mussels. The restaurant is off the beaten path but accessible by bus. All the wines are priced the same, which is unique and fun, but if you are fussy you need to know what to order. We tried some that was tasty, but some not.

Very good atmosphere. The meats, all very good, as are the accompaniments!

As usual, top notch! The best viance on the Riviera, Thanks John!

Wow, what a hot stone. L was already a great portion. Plus fine fries, fried potatoes and vegetables and a salad with great sauce included as a starter. Not to forget the awesome herb butter. Gladly again.

At John's. A very pleasant surprise. It was excellent (XL paving stone on slate) carnivores will love it! The boss is great, teases you, talks to you and yes it's rather rare, and entertains the gallery a little. We had a great evening. The concept of wine at the same price I had never seen... I loved it. Run there!

Always a pleasure to come and eat a hearty dish. Delighted to see that the same atmosphere is there after this uncertain period!

Top! We ordered some beautifully prepared tartars to take away, which I recommend, and the boss is, as always, very nice!

Nice little bistro with good food. Jean-Da

Very nice surprise! The food was plentiful and good, the staff friendly and quick. I'll go back for a good slate steak if I'm in the area.

Concept of meat served on slate and of very good quality. Very accessible wine list. Very warm and family welcome. We highly recommend this friendly place.
