Five mountain restaurants

 

Zum See Zermatt, Switzerland

Zermatt is the high table of Alpine gastronomy, studded with small restaurants that have been run by the same families for generations. In a tiny hamlet just off the red run from Furi to Zermatt is a converted cowshed that is the epitome of good mountain taste. Now more popular with discerning skiers than wandering livestock, try the air-dried beef and Valais cheese, lightly cooked calf's liver with rösti, and round things off with a Sachertorte and cream.
