When it comes to luxury travel in Switzerland, there are few things as memorable as sitting down to a perfectly crafted dish while gazing out over glaciers, alpine lakes, or vineyard-cloaked hillsides. And when you travel with us, you’ll discover that these experiences are never just about the food or the view—they’re about the story, the soul, and the magic of place.

As Switzerland-based travel designers with a passion for unforgettable moments, we’ve spent years uncovering not just the best restaurants in the country, but the ones that truly take your breath away. Yes, we have over 120 Michelin-starred venues and some of the finest chocolate and cheese in the world—but we also know where to find the hidden gems where you can sip a glass of wine while the Matterhorn turns pink at sunset.

So if you’re the kind of traveler who craves exceptional cuisine in unforgettable settings, here are 8 restaurants in Switzerland where the view is just as stunning as the meal.

Chez Vrony, Zermatt

Located high above Zermatt in the village of Findeln (2,130m), Chez Vrony is an iconic alpine chic institution. Once a humble farmhouse, today it serves refined Swiss classics with modern flair—and what a view: the majestic Matterhorn stands proudly in front of you as you dine. A must-stop on any Zermatt itinerary

Muottas Muragl, Engadine

Accessible via a scenic funicular ride to 2,456m, this restaurant offers what we think may be the best sunset view in Switzerland. As the Engadine lakes and Bernina massif glow below, you’ll enjoy seasonal regional dishes in perfect serenity. Don’t forget your camera—and your appetite.

‍

Chalet du Soldat, Jaun

Tucked into the dramatic Gastlosen mountains, this cozy hut delivers hearty French-Swiss mountain fare and a view that rivals the Dolomites. It’s a family-run gem with soul—and if you’re lucky, the owner might serenade you with his alphorn.

‍

Izumi, Geneva

Perched on the rooftop of the Four Seasons Hotel, Izumi offers elegant Japanese-Peruvian fusion cuisine with sweeping views of Lake Geneva and the Alps. The atmosphere is as refined as the service—and ideal for a romantic night out in the city.

‍

Roseg Gletscher Restaurant, Engadine

After a rewarding hike or sleigh ride through the Engadine valley, this charming restaurant welcomes you with panoramic views and a legendary homemade dessert buffet. Trust us, choosing just one will be the hardest part of your day.

‍

Le Deck, Lake Geneva

The service may be hit or miss, but the view is unbeatable. Overlooking the shimmering waters of Lake Geneva, the French Alps, and the UNESCO-listed Lavaux vineyards, it’s the perfect place for a glass of local wine and a moment of awe.

‍

Lobhornhütte, Berner Oberland

This rustic mountain hut may serve simple fare, but the view? Absolutely epic. Set above the Lauterbrunnen valley, you’ll look out onto the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau—with no crowds, no chaos, just pure alpine majesty.
