Magnificent place with a superb terrace. Nice and varied menu. Very friendly service unfortunately we waited 1 hour between the starter and the main course because they were overwhelmed in the kitchen, plus we were inside and could not enjoy the beautiful view.

Both views and food couldn't be better service was very friendly. For sure book in advance especially on a sunny day. Location on the map of zermatt resort is a bit misleading and it can actually be very easily accessed from nearby red slope going down to findeln. Definitely comparable to nearby chez vrony

We had a wonderful afternoon at the Paradise, which has become one of our favorite places on the mountains (for skiers as well as normal visiters). From start to finish, everything was perfect. The service was attentive, friendly, and always making sure we didn't want for anything. Despite its small size the restaurant has charm and of course it's most beautiful on sunny days to sit outside on the terrasse. The food itself was excellent. As a main course we had the boiled beef (Tafelspiz) and the beet root (perfect for vegetarians). Markus Pössenberger and Dominic Adamantidis really outdid themselves with this menu. Thank you Paradise for having us!

Beautiful service and amazing, fresh food. The ambience was super relaxing and we will definitely be back! I was recommended a hot pear drink instead of a mulled wine and it was to die for. Thank you!

Perfect spot for a cozy ski-in lunch with incredible views. @Paradise lives up to its name - an unforgettable view of the Matterhorn makes lunch on the terrace magical. The food is excellent, with a variety of elevated dishes to go along with classics (the fondue is delicious). Don’t miss the chance to sit outside on a clear day to enjoy a meal with friends / family here. (Note: plenty of options for vegetarians/vegans is a plus) The staff is warm and welcoming, service was excellent, and the food very tasty. Take a moment to have a conversation with Elia and learn about life in Zermatt. Have a beer, champagne, or hot tea to warm up before heading out to finish an afternoon of skiing - you’ll be happy you came!

This place is so amazing! The fondue was so frkn good and the views were spectacular. We also learned that they won an award for best fondue in Switzerland last year!!! We went on a really busy day without reservations and the guy seating everyone was so so sweet. He told us he’d make something work for us after 15 minutes, and he did exactly then. Every time he talked to us he did it so politely I wanted to melt. Everyone there was really really nice. Highly highly recommend!

A cozy mountain hut to have lunch with views of the Matterhorn. We started with a sharing platter of local meats and cheeses, then we got a steak and a bouillabaisse. All the food was delicious and hearty to get us ready for the second half of the ski day. The only thing is there is a slightly steep drop after the restaurant. I would highly recommend considering this before bringing beginner skiers!

Amazing! Truly amazing. I tried the veal and the cheese fondue. I have zero complaints. The only thing that I enjoyed less was my dessert. I don't remember the name of the dish that this restaurant used, but it was like Kaiserschmarrn, a sweet dish originating from Vienna. The dessert lacked flavor.

Very cosy and cute restaurant on the mountain at 2,230m elevation, ensuring breathtaking views while enjoying delicious food at the outside patio. Loosen your boots, and recharge with delicious meals, snacks, and drinks. Try the Heisse Lust warm drink (warm wine, with a slice of a pear, thyme, and a touch of anise). Vegan options are available and clearly marked on the menu, though some appetisers are not marked vegan, even though they are. For example, the Kurkuma Hummus is great.

Pretty, friendly and exudes a bit of intimacy in the crushed mass. We were just there for drinks. However, the connection to Chez Vroni is promising. As of March 2023, @Paradise has 13 GaultMillau points. As everywhere in Zermatt, be sure to book a reservation well in advance.

Delicious food, gorgeous views. Honestly can’t beat it. Make a reservation in advance. We booked at 2pm after we were pretty much done for the day. Snow was somewhat slushy on our way down. We finished the run (restaurant is on the Red 6 marked by the blue flags shown in pics), took the chair lift up to Sunnegga, and the funicular down. You can board/ski back to town though from Sunnegga. Note slopes 1 to 3 are wider than 2 so better for boarders.

Magnificent experience from the welcome to the quality of the dishes. Even though they do two services, they care about your experience. For example, they offered to take an extra bottle inside before finding us a table outside! Well done ! In Zermatt, we are more used to being “kicked out” during the 2nd service!!! We also appreciated the quality of the plate and the efficiency, attention and kindness of the service! Well done !!!

Zermatt is a great ski resort. The area is vast and lifts generally quick. The international option is cool and the delta in ticket price is small which is good as the lifts to top are often closed due to wind. Only ⚠️ warning . Dont go to 1818 restaurant. Poor service firstly. They did not cook meat properly delivered it raw which is dangerous then on second attempt brought back rare telling us chef says its medium. Chef did not come to discuss nor did the offer any compensation for this expense that was inedible that was to feed 2/4 of us . I cannot recommend 1818 restaurant any less! Obviously 1818 a seperate entity but i felt obligated to place review here to caution more against the danger of wasting an evening dinner plan at 1818

Came here solely to eat fondue on the side of a mountain— it did not disappoint. Even with snow falling and low visibility the view was breathtaking. The fondue (€31) was also delicious!! You can take the sunnega train and either walk or ski here. One thing to note is that it’s on an easy trail but right when you leave the restaurant there’s a super steep hill. I watched a lot of skiers (myself included) hesitate and struggle down.

Make a reservation online and the staff was nice to give us the best seat with a great view. Prior to that, as their website did not indicate the direction to get there, I’ve drop them a msg via Instagram. They saw my msg but decide not to reply me. Not cool at all. End up I have to find my way there and it was not easy locating the restaurant especially with piles of snows covering the route. However I have to give credit to the waitress, her service was really good and very friendly. Her recommendation of food was on point. Will be better, if they can provide the direction on their website, if not it’s rather tough finding the place.

Special thanks to server Nachos at the restaurant, who was always so approachable and pro actively coming to our table to ask if we needed anything during our daily breakfast and dinner. He also greeted us daily with a cheerful disposition which made our day. Owner of the hotel approached every table during dinner and asked if all was good as well.

We went to 9 good restaurants during our vacation in Zermatt at the beginning of March. We liked Chez Max Julen best. Why? The food is always very good, the wines carefully selected, and the atmosphere around the open grill is really cozy. But what really made a lasting impression was the harmonious team led by Armin. The people in the service like and value each other and they work well together. This affects the guests. We will have fond memories of this teamwork!
