The luxury alpine resort of Zermatt is famously known for its world renowned skiing and of course the Matterhorn. However, not many people also know that this beautiful Swiss resort is also known, by locals and people who are lucky enough to be in the know, for its stunning cuisine. In my opinion, <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alpsinluxury.com\/resorts\/switzerland\/zermatt\/luxury-chalets\" target=\"_blank\">Zermatt is the best&nbsp;luxury summer resort in the Alps<\/a>. I cannot think of anywhere else I would rather go, with hundreds of restaurants to choose from for some delicious gourmet food and some delectable white wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>I had a fabulous summer holiday to Zermatt last year meeting with our operators in resort.&nbsp;In order to&nbsp;discover the top 10 summer restaurants in Zermatt, I asked the opinion of these friendly and knowledgeable operators, who are lucky enough to enjoy these fabulous venues day in day out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chezvrony.ch\/en\/restaurant\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"789\" height=\"527\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpsinluxury.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Chez-Vrony.jpg\" alt=\"restaurants in Zermatt, Zermatt restaurants\" class=\"wp-image-6468\" title=\"Best Restaurants in Zermatt.

Rico trained as a baker, and makes the most amazing broccoli quiche (or leek and bacon, or anything, but the broccoli sticks in my mind). Oh no, actually, I\u2019m not sure now, since he also makes the best Kaseschnitte I have tasted in Zermatt \u2013 and I make it my business to research thoroughly!&nbsp; Kaseschnitte is not just cheese on toast. The bread is soaked quickly in local white wine, saut\u00e9ed in butter, placed in a terracotta dish and covered in cheese and baked.
