Spontaniously we decided to go there. The food was very good although you are not able to choose from a menu. But you can say if you do not like something. Service wasnt the best but ok. It s quite expensive for the value.

The snowboat is well known for its Apres Ski with good cocktails and a nice/rather sophisticated crowd. Many people do not know what gem is hidden hull of the boat. The restaurant serves a delicious and weekly changing menu, has a good wine list and attentive, friendly and well trained waiters. Changing in the menu are done and replaced by... More

Being a little bit late with the booking, we didn't expect to get a spot. But the person at the phone was very friendly and arranged a table for us. And we were delighted, from start to finish the whole visit was a superb experience. The food was great (fix menu, no à-la-carte), the staff was very friendly and the... More

The snowboat is well known for it's apres ski and as a place to meet everyone who is anyone! but the fine dining downstairs is less well known in fact it's a well kept secret amongst those who are in the know. They serve one set menu similar to a menu 'surprise' but are flexible for those with likes and... More

I was recommended to go to the Snowboat and was not disappointed. Excellent, personal service. Great location within easy walking distance of the centre of Zermatt. A quirky building (looking like a large yacht), with a bar upstairs and an intimate restaurant seating about 30 downstairs. Competent and non-intrusive live music. But I was there for the food. The head... More

Our best dining experience in Zermatt, it's really a good place to go. We tryed also the after-sky, if you're coming from Sunnega this is the best. The dinner was a 6 course menu and the service can be a little slow but it's worthy. Can't just forget the bread, my god!!

Firstly, I only stayed in the Snowboat and not the Yacht Club (which is a fancy restaurant). The Snowboat is a cool bar with tons of character. They serve any drink under the sun! They have a little menu with pub-style food. But, not just any old "pub grub"! The food was EXCELLENT! It is actually made by the chef... More
