The menu features classic dishes, all lovingly prepared by the kitchen team using local produce. Guests staying overnight at the 3100 Kulmhotel Gornergrat are also invited to indulge in a fantastic four-course dinner, specially prepared by the vis-à-vis restaurant team.
Restaurant Riffelhaus 1853
This place is all about fondue, Käseschnitte (Swiss cheese on toast) and rösti. Restaurant Riffelhaus 1853 is the home of Swiss specialities, and its röstis are a particular favorite among its many regulars. A rösti has just three ingredients: potatoes, salt and pepper. That really is all there is to it. Of course, that shouldn’t stop you from adding onions, or even ordering the deluxe version with bacon. However you like yours, this place, perched over 2,500 meters above sea level, elevates the humble rösti to a work of art.
Restaurant Schwarzsee
Featuring plenty of wood panelling, Restaurant Schwarzsee is a rustic and relaxing place to indulge yourself. It serves classic Alpine dishes in a casual atmosphere, and a warm welcome is guaranteed. The spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding Alpine scenery make for the perfect mountainside experience.
ice pizzeria
Pizza, pasta and panoramic views – the classic, minimalist interior and fresh atmosphere of the ice pizzeria encourages you to focus on what really matters: the amazing selection of pizza and pasta, the fabulous wine list and the sensational views. The sun terrace provides beautiful views into the valley.
Blue Lounge
Sitting on the spacious terrace with a light snack and a drink, topped off with views of the Matterhorn – what more could you ask for? Live music from bands and DJs every day between Christmas and Easter makes Blue Lounge even more special. And on the days when the sun doesn’t shine, you can always warm up by the cosy fireplace.
Buffet Bar Sunnegga
“Sunnegga”: even the name reminds you of sunshine. As anyone who has picked up a few words of the local Swiss dialect will have guessed: guests at this Ecke (spot) are spoilt with sunshine from morning till night. It’s the perfect place to enjoy local specialities with a glass of wine. And as if that weren’t enough, the bar’s spacious terrace offers unobstructed views of the Matterhorn too!
Panorama Self
The Panorama Self self-service buffet, located in the 3100 Kulmhotel Gornergrat, offers a huge selection of fresh salads, sandwiches and hot dishes. And if that doesn’t whet your appetite, how about a slice of delicious cake, either for dessert or to accompany your mid-afternoon coffee?
Buffet & Bar Riffelberg
Buffet & Bar Riffelberg’s self-service rösti stand is a stand-out attraction, and the bar is very popular too. With a perfect location in the heart of the skiing and walking arena, this family-friendly restaurant is easy to find too. It is located just a few meters from the Gornergrat cogwheel railway station and right next to the mountain station of the Riffelberg Express gondola.
ice buffet
ice buffet’s varied menu has something for everyone, from skiers and hikers to sun worshippers and mountain baggers. The modern self-service restaurant combines a welcoming atmosphere with a wide range of dishes. Delicious Asian classics compete for your attention with traditional Swiss favorites, including rösti and älpler macaroni (macaroni with potatoes, cheese and bacon) cooked in a giant pan. And it all tastes even better eaten al fresco on the terrace.
Käsestube Furgg
This rustic, chalet-style inn is perfect for a relaxed meal and good company.
