‘Potato’ is a new restaurant in Zermatt that offers a lot more than its simple name.
The humble potato is the inspiration behind this new venue, and is used in the majority of the dishes, but ‘Restaurant Potato’ has a great choice of fine dining options beyond the eponymous starch-based vegetable.
Locally-sourced products
In a prime location on Bahnhofstrasse in Zermatt, ‘Restaurant Potato’ has an emphasis on sustainability and locally sourced products. Most ingredients come from within a maximum 50km radius around Zermatt.
Eagle-eyed visitors may even see the team foraging for plants and herbs in the local meadows or woods.
Choice of menus
At lunchtime, guests can choose from dishes on the à la carte menu while in the evening, diners have the option of three, five or seven courses as part of a surprise menu, which is changed twice a week.
The restaurant also has an impressive wine list, which you can view here.
Also open for delivery
Currently [see the latest situation in Zermatt] restaurants are only open for outside dining, but you can try out the new restaurant’s creations, thanks to online ordering and their home delivery service.
