Gourmetstübli - Zermatt

We stayed at Chalet Hotel Schoenegg, Zermatt, the week 4-11th February with Inghams Holidays. We absolutely LOVED it! ❤️ The hotel is perfectly located above village with simply stupendous views of village and Matterhorn but literally just a three minutes walk from Sunnega lift station and Flexirent ski equipment rental. Staff in the hotel were absolutely delightful every single one of them in every dept - so friendly, welcoming and helpful (special thanks to Hosa in restaurant x) and the owner also ensured he spoke with all the guests each evening in the restaurant which was a very nice personal touch. Rooms very nice decor, extremely comfortable ( tea/ coffee facilities and dressing gowns and slippers included) immaculate and great views. The panoramic view from restaurant / dining room at breakfast and daytime was utterly spectacular and breathtaking. Watching the magnificent Matterhorn awake and present herself to the village she overlooks is a lasting memory. Indeed "A Room with a View" ( and for fans of The Night Manager, scenes were shot in the dining room here) we could have sat there all day admiring same but the snow conditions, pistes and skiing arena were just too fantastic! Breakfast buffet an amazing selection of hot & cold fare - cheeses and cold meats, smoked salmon, fresh fruit platters and melt in mouth mini croissants / pastries to name a few - even a glass of Prosecco if you wished!! Dinner was also 4 courses of delicious fare each night and the chef always happy to make alternatives for you if choices did not suit. And a lounge with roaring log fire or cosy bar to while away hours. And at the end of the day a divine little Spa area with jacuzzis, steam room, loungers and in house masseur to alleviate aching muscles - again with views to take your breath away. This hotel - its staff, location and incredible views, superlative standard of food and hospitality is a real stand out - we have walked in Zermatt before as well as first ski trip and definitely plan a return visit winter / summer in future. Cannot recommend highly enough - absolutely superlative. Also a visit to the village Museum is a must - amazing exhibits and history of Zermatt and mountaineering. We adore everything about Zermatt - Great To See You (again) !! Thank you Hotel Schoenegg - we will return! ❤️

Did not find on tripadvisor but we were glad we found it! Service was great, and we were very well seated and lucky because we had a great view of the Matterhorn! The food was delicious and the waitress extremely nice! We had a wonderful moment and recommend it to everyone wanting to see the lights come on (for the 150th anniversary of the Matterhorn) and enjoy a wonderful meal or for people who just want to enjoy a wonderful meal!

This restaurant seems to be popular with large groups who may not stay at the hotel but come only for a meal. It was full when we walked in, but service was smooth & quick. The menu is not elaborate but whatever we had was well presented & flavorsome. Fish fillet with spinach/potatoes may not sound gourmet but it was cooked well & satisfying. The star was the Thai curry with veggies & chicken-a thai curry in a swiss restaurant in Zermatt may sound quite mad, but it was so well made, I couldn't help slurping spoonfuls of it even without the rice! To round off the meal there was white chocolate mousse choux pastry with berries-sweet end to a beautiful meal! To top it all, the view was great too!

We stayed at Hotel Shoenegg for a week last September and had breakfast and dinner in the restaurant every day. The food was varied and well presented and we enjoyed all our meals. Most of all, the restaurant had spectacular views over Zermatt and to the Matterhorn.

This restaurant is both comfortable and elegant. The wooden exterior was designed and carved in Germany and greatly suits what feels and looks to be a Swiss dining room. The view over Zermatt reaching out to the Matterhorn in the distance is superb when the sky is clear and cloudless.What amazed us was the quality of the cooking. Each course from the Wienerschnitzel vom Kalb, the Hummerspagetti (lobster spaghetti), the accompanying vegetable and the Apfelstrudel showed flair. They were all delicious. The fact that this is rated around just about 80th restaurant in Zermatt as shown by the most recent reviews shows that this placing is a total injustice.
