Alex - Sion

We went there pretty early so the place was empty. The ambiance was nice and a bit elegant.The meat was cooked to perfection and it was so tender, we loved the food. I had the best polenta of my life, as a side dish. The wine selection was also good, we had some lovely wine from the region. The service was friendly and fast. I can only recomend this restaurant.

The Alex is well known in Zermatt for good reason. While the hotel was built around 1960 the décor makes it look like it 's been there for a century. It is very Bavarian/Chalet in appearance and it all looks real, not like a modern hotel that is trying to be something else. Our room was spacious and comfortable as was the bathroom. We had a large balcony that offered a stunning view of the peaks around the town, including the Matterhorn, and of the town itself. The food in the restaurant and the breakfast buffet were both excellent. The staff was friendly and attentive. The Alex is not the least expensive hotel in Zermatt, nor is it the most expensive, It is a great value for the money. The décor is homey and comfortable, as are the rooms, the amenities are top notch (the grotto indoor pool is great), and the location is perfect; walking distance to the train but just far enough off the main street to feel secluded and restful. I would highly recommend the Alex if you 're planning on a trip to Zermatt.

The chef likes salt, I hope it improves with rice. For the rest, kindness and friendliness of the house, the other dishes are worth trying.

Ein sehr angenehmer Abend bei Alex, eine ausgezeichnete Entdeckung für uns. Die gemütliche Terrasse verleiht ein Urlaubsgefühl, obwohl wir nur 5 Minuten von zu Hause entfernt sind. Das Essen war köstlich, der Wein ausgezeichnet. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen!

Kleines Restaurant, in dem ich jedes Mal sehr gut esse und nie enttäuscht werde! Die Gerichte sind gut präsentiert und gut zubereitet. Ich komme immer wieder gerne zurück!
