Baracca Zermatt - Basel

Baracca Zermatt hosted our Christmas party. The ambiance of the restaurant is very cool and the food was even better! The cheese fondue was delicious!

Was there with a group of 30 people. From my previous experience a few years ago the Baracca Zermatt was a lovely, cosy place giving its guests the impression being in a real mountain chalet. Now the place is too big with a canteen kind of atmosphere. The service was very poor and slow because there were not enough waiters available. We didn't really get what we ordered (no pork meat), a specially ordered menu was not served and when we complained there was no reaction. There was hardly ever somebody coming to the table to ask if we would like to have more meat, cheese, wine etc. We had to go and let them know. All in all a pretty disappointing experience of a place that once used to be very special.

Florentine, our waitress was incredible with perfect English. Our table was next to a log fire with settees on two sides. The place was buzzing with laughter and cheer. We had high expectations because a work function was supposed to happen there and I specifically phoned to ask if I could bring a coop vegan fondue to not feel left out. I was told the chef was working on a recipe. The work function was cancelled due to Covid and so my husband and I went to try it out. We were blown away. The texture and tastes were shockingly good. We started with an orange, ginger and soup devine. Salad as second course with delicious vegan dressing. The fondue choices were plain, truffle and chili. It’s eat all you want and since the fondue was cashew nut based there were no saturated fat. Wait what? Healthy fondue?!?!? Go there but book months in advance if you want a Friday or Saturday. The restaurant is only open in the winter so perfect after skiing. The ambiance is so much like a âpre ski chalet. There were large and small groups so a real mixture. Two birthday were happening last night so lots cheer. A definite yes from Daniel and me.
