Where to eat Swiss food in Montreux: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Reviews on Swiss food in Montreux, Canton of Vaud, Switzerland. Jazz aficionados know Montreux as the home of the famed jazz festival. And where else will you find a statue of Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury? But even those who aren't music fans will find respite in this resort town on the Swiss Riviera: The wineries here are world renowned, the Chateau de Chillon is an impressive example of a medieval castle and the views of the Dents-du-Midi are breathtaking. Walk on the lake promenade, ride the cogwheel train or wander Old Montreux to taste its Edwardian flavor.

My wife wanted some authentic Swiss food. Despite the mixed reviews figured we would give this a shot. Itâs off the main track but worth the walk. We skipped appetizers and went straight to Fondue. It was fantastic, paired with a bottle of local wine, well worth it. The owner took good care of us. He steered us right and we left full. A little pricey for our liking, but hey itâs Switzerland.

We arrived in Glion in November by a foggy weather with the summits and sun hidden by the clouds. This is not ideal for a place that is famous for its view on the Leman. The hotel is out of date and cultivates a timeless aspect as if nothing had changed in 100 years. The patron, who honours his guests by his presence is himself of a venerable age. One can meet there American parents come to drop their children in a famous college close to the hotel as well as tourists from the Middle East seeking the calm of the Swiss heights. We are rather modern and the place under the fog was moderately warm to us. The restaurant is in harmony with the hotel: the menu is of infinite choice, the prices are those of a palace. In short, we were not very excited at first about the turn of events. We ordered fish from the lake and a lamb from Sisteron. The good surprise was on the plate: the dishes were extremely well prepared, the sauces in particular, and extremely rich which is rather rare in restraurants nowadays. So the higher price is offset by the quality and size of the portions. The service was correct, without excess. If you want to venture to the wine list, better think to your wallet first and to the extremely steep descent on Montreux which does not tolerate any blood alcohol level. We will come back this summer, with a better view.

We took a seat outside at 11:05.They open up at 11:00. 5 other people were sitting outside an already drinking coffee.After 5 minutes my wife went inside to ask if it is kind of selfservice or order at the bar or something like that. She was then asked what she wants in a very unpolite way and was told that we can not eat something because the kitchen closes at 11:30. Are you kidding!? They open up at 11:00 and the kitchen closes at 11:30?!We will never visit this place anymore.Dear Sir,Thank you for your review.Unfortunately there has been a huge misunderstanding of your wife, which was probably because of the language barriers.She has indeed come inside after waiting for 5 minutes to ask ironically if it was self service. Our professional waitress then kindly asked her what she could help her with. Our restaurant opens at 08h30 in the morning for coffee but the kitchen only opens at 11h30 and is continuously open until 22h00.The opening hours of the restaurant can be found on the door, windows and online.We are sorry for your experience but we find your comments and review very unfair.Best regards,The Direction

The best experience, the best meal, and the absolute best service our entire stay in Montreux. I ordered the La fribourgeoise half-half (traditional fondue) and my husband ordered the Trilogy BBQ Grill; the combination was perfect to share! The fondue was delicious, served with perfectly risen bread. The BBQ grill was so much fun, and the carousel of sauces gave us so many options (I loved the garlic, he loved the curry, we both loved the spicy!). Four reasons this places has to be on your short list:1.) The main meals listed above2.) The views3.) The service; the two women and gentleman that night were the most gracious and warm we encountered our whole stay in Montreux. And 4.) The Swiss meringue with ice cream and double cream Gruyére (That cream, hidden at the bottom of an already decadent dessert, was absolutely delicious, and would be enough to visit Restaurant Le Museum alone)Donât read any more reviews, donât browse the menu for what looks good, just go. I promise you wonât be disappointed.

Seriously now, giving this place (only) a 13/20 rating is in no way justified. The setting, the welcome, the service and, above all, the cooking are way above the Gault & Milleau evaluation. The latter especially in relation to the Os à Moëlle, Potté dâescargots, Lapin Tessinoise and the Crème brûlée. There simply is no better. The refined preparation, presentation and exceptional taste are an easy match to what Gault & Milleau rates with near perfect scores elsewhere. Bravo Claudia, Christian and staff. Luckily, you donât need a gourmet guide to promote your restaurant. What really matters is the opinion of customers. And on my evaluation scale you have reached the top. Well done. Keep up the excellent work.

We thought we would treat ourselves and stay in the best hotel in Montreux. We were surprised that the room was small and tired with a rusty shower door which leaked. On arriving we expected and were told there would be water in the room. There wasnât. We wanted to make two decaf coffees there was only one. Three teabags of different types, we like the same tea. The milk was the horrible little containers. No biscuits or fruit without paying. $5 for a very small toblerone or bag of crisps , $19 for a miniature scotch! A rip off !!! I went to reception to ask about the water and was told it would be delivered in the evening. I said there was a trolley outside our door with water and small platters of fruit. I was told this was for rooms who paid $1500 a night ! Us paupers were only paying $440 !!!!!On check in they swiped an extra $100 per night for breakages or extras we may spend. Astonishing !! They told us all hotels now do this. We informed them we had just returned from an excellent NH hotel in Turin who didnât and looked after us superbly offering us soft drinks and snacks on arrival in reception and information about the city. The public areas are very splendid and so was the view of the lake from our room for which we naturally paid more. The restaurants were good if you are ok paying $34 for a club sandwich and $9.50 for a bottle of sparkling water !Obviously this place was not for mere mortals like us. I pointed out we have been better treated in a Holiday Inn. Five star ? Yes a great spa and facilities but very poor customer service.

We were simply walking along and passed this restaurant. It looked nice and the customers inside seemed to be enjoying their food and having lively discussions. We decided to join them. Are we glad we did! I had the beef and it was some of the most amazing I had while in Switzerland. The owner/chef came out and visited with all the patrons. He was entertaining and it made for a wonderful overall dining experience. It was like he selected and prepared each meal for the individual. Have to say it was one of my favorite meals in the 10 days I was in the country. Merci beaucoupâ

Quite a shame really, the location is spectacular and it certainly gives a luxurious first impression, but the food was quite average for the price range and category itâs in. We had waited a bit for our drinks but that was okay because we were happy to be out and about. We had waited a bit fir our food, too but that was okay until in both my and my wifeâs order something was missing. Not really a problem but the food was only luke warm and by the time our side dishes came the food was tepid. Not so bad i guess but the food wasnât really very good, average would be an honest evaluation. We had wanted to get a bottle of wine as well but when a bottle of Dieter Meierâs âPuroâ ( which is a fantastic argentinian Malbec) was on the card for 85chf that stopped us from ordering. We live here and at a local grocery store the bottle is 17chf so i followed my 3x the price rule. I would have gone up to 65 for it but not 5 times their purchase price.Service was amateurish and i felt that it was a mix of students and moderately experienced wait staff. So to sum it up, the restaurant gives the impression of higher end luxury cuisine and charges for it but only delivers average food and service. I recommend you look elsewhere unless youâre in the hotel anyway and just want to eat without taking a walk. A shame, it could be so much nicer with a more experienced chef and service......Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at MP's Bar & Grill. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies.

An other restaurant where we ate twice! The first time we ordered steak frite (deemed the best steak, anywhere, in a long time), and sole - perfectly cooked and flavorful. Both came with the very best fries - crisp, not greasy. Second time we went Italian, with a ravioli special and penne with zucchini and eggplant. Both came with a rose (pink) sauce, not too rich. Homemade tiramisu both times! First evening a customer at the next table offered to help with English translation - introduced himself as a neighborhood volunteer firefighter. The firehouse was around the corner on our walk back to our hotel. Locals come in for beer and wine, and to watch sports on TV. Very good service.
