Baracca Zermatt - Basel

Baracca Zermatt hosted our Christmas party. The ambiance of the restaurant is very cool and the food was even better! The cheese fondue was delicious!

Was there with a group of 30 people. From my previous experience a few years ago the Baracca Zermatt was a lovely, cosy place giving its guests the impression being in a real mountain chalet. Now the place is too big with a canteen kind of atmosphere. The service was very poor and slow because there were not enough waiters available. We didn't really get what we ordered (no pork meat), a specially ordered menu was not served and when we complained there was no reaction. There was hardly ever somebody coming to the table to ask if we would like to have more meat, cheese, wine etc. We had to go and let them know. All in all a pretty disappointing experience of a place that once used to be very special.

Florentine, our waitress was incredible with perfect English. our table was next to a log fire with settees on two sides. the place was full of laughing and cheering. we had high expectations, because there should be a work function and I phoned specifically to ask if I could bring a coop vegan fondue to not feel left out. I was told that the chef works on a recipe. the work function was canceled because of covid and so my man and I tried it. we were blown away. the texture and taste were shockingly good. we started with an orange, ingwer and suppengöttin. salat as second cure with delicious vegan dressing. the selection of fondues was simple, truffle and chili. it is eating all they want and since the fondue Cashew nuts based there was no saturated fat. what? healthy fondue?! go there, but book them months in advance if they want a Friday or Saturday. the restaurant is only opened in winter so perfect after skiing. the ambiente is as much as a "pre ski chalet." there were large and small groups such a real mix. two birthdays were so happy last night. a certain of daniel and me.

There's nothing left. do not fall. you don't have any alternatives.

Review of our very very bad experience in Basel visiting the restaurant called Baracca Zermatt!The waiters took advantage of our niceness!We asked to have one fondue just for our first experience in Switzerland most iconic meal!The plate was smaller then a tea saucer!Which myself and my friend shared.Also the two glasses of water.The total cost of this small tiny Fondue was crazy 120 Swiss francs! which is £96,- single portion. Be careful going to this place!
