Paradies Zermatt - Étlap

Great on-mountain lunch in Zermatt. Friendly staff. Service was great. Meal was wonderful, in particular the Veggie Tapas. Too blustery to sit on deck during visit but inside was so toasty and comfy. Very tastefully decorated. Definitely worth adding to list of on-mountain restaurants. During ski season, the run down is a bit steep. You can also traverse a trail.

The Paradise is a perfect complement to the chez Vrony restaurant further down the road. You can feel the signature of chez Vrony in the interior and in the cordiality of the staff. The menu, however, goes its own way, and that 's a good thing. Instead of traditional alpine cuisine, there are innovative creations such as a vegi tapas selection. But also fondue is on the menu. The food tasted excellent. Since Paradise is much smaller than Chez Vrony, it feels quieter.

Make a reservation online and the staff was nice to give us the best seat with a great view. Prior to that, as their website did not indicate the direction to get there, I’ve drop them a msg via Instagram. They saw my msg but decide not to reply me. Not cool at all. End up I have to find my way there and it was not easy locating the restaurant especially with piles of snows covering the route. However I have to give credit to the waitress, her service was really good and very friendly. Her recommendation of food was on point. Will be better, if they can provide the direction on their website, if not it’s rather tough finding the place.
