The food at this restaurant is good but the atmosphere is a bit dull. My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed the asparagus risotto with black truffle. Good service by the wait staff but we both commented that the restaurant has no atmosphere. The restaurant was half full so perhaps it is more lively & fun on busy nights. Too quiet. Perhaps they are trying to appeal to older clientele.

This Italian restaurant is located in the middle of the pedestrian only main street of Gstaad and has been operating for some considerable time now - some 20+ years. Good food and attentive service and perfect to be outside on the Terrace when the sun is out. Decent menu with daily specials and a good wine list. Not inexpensive but nevertheless good value. Definitely worth a visit based on our recent meal there and blankets are available if required to keep you warm. All the dishes we had were very nice although the only negative comment is that the portions served were a little on the small side - OK for lunch perhaps but maybe not at dinner.!!

I recommend this restaurant very highly. We went last week while visiting Gstaad. They offered a choice of seafood that had been caught earlier in the morning and flown in from France. As we live near the ocean in the US, we mostly avoided seafood while inland in Europe, but this was truly fresh! The amuse bouche

This spot is amazing. The panoramic view of the Alps over the Saanenland is breathtaking, especially in the Spring. Family owned and operated with a friendly staff. The food is tasty and well presented. Come hungry! The Terrace is cozy for sunbathing. Good atmosphere, nevertheless, do expect to come across some snobby customers...it is Gstaad, after all.

There is some confusion with the two hotels.One hotel is in Saanenmoeser and one is on top of the Hornberg called Berghotel.The first one is a brilliant hotel cum restaurant with lovely food and great service.Views are to die for.The second is an average hotel with average food and not worth the visit unless you are hiking in the region.

Das Restaurant «Stübli» – die Dorfbeiz in Gstaad – seit Beginn unverändert und natürlich. Schnell etwas trinken, eine Kleinigkeit essen oder ohne Hektik einheimische Gerichte und Kultur geniessen. Ob mittags oder abends – das «Stübli» ist geradezu ideal. Wer eine Mischung von verschiedenen Menschen sucht, sollte das Stübli besuchen. Sowohl Einheimische wie Touristen fühlen sich in diesem historisch bedeutungsvollen Lokal bestens aufgehoben. Der Name "Alti Poscht" stammt aus der guten alten Zeit, als die «Alti Poscht» noch eine Postablage war. Das gemütliche Lokal wurde im Altholzstil erbaut und später renoviert. Die «Alti Poscht» eignet sich ausgezeichnet für Anlässe bis zu 75 Personen. Möchten Sie den Tag gemütlich und in aller Ruhe beginnen, im Restaurant «Alti Poscht» können Sie ein «Zmorgen» genießen. Jeden Morgen steht für Sie ein Frühstücksbuffet bereit.

Yes it is Gstaad, so its expensive, but that being said, the food we had was very average.
Escargots were DELICIOUS - but 2 main courses, super average. A weird ravioli, and a weird something else that wasnt good
Inside it is a typical swiss style restaurant - ski jumping theme ha
Go to 16 Art in Saanen instead
10. Le Grand Gstaad Palace

I had lunch at the lobby with friends. The salad was fresh and especially the blue cheese salad sauce is really nice.
Also the fish and chips I had were tasty and fried in tasty oil.
Downside was my orange juice which was very sour. In a place like the Gstaad Palace one would expect a freshly squeezed orange juice.
