Alpine Gourmet Prato Borni, Zermatt – Michelin-Starred Country Cooking

Alpine Gourmet Prato Borni

At the Grand Hotel Zermatterhof, Alpine Gourmet Prato Borni marks a new culinary chapter. Under chef Stefan Lünse, the kitchen combines alpine roots with international sophistication, driven by creativity, precision, and carefully selected ingredients from the Valais region and beyond.

The restaurant’s country cooking style is evident in dishes that feel both grounded and refined. Menu highlights include Scottish scallops with Luma pork belly, beetroot, and Doppelrahm de Gruyère AOP; Miéral pigeon with kale, salsify, Zermatt rowanberries, and Piedmont hazelnuts; and a trio of Swiss Wagyu beef with Albula valley mountain potatoes, stachys, tardivo, and winter truffle. Each plate reflects Lünse’s exacting technique and respect for the product.

The dining room is open Thursday through Monday evenings, with a tasting menu format that allows guests to experience the full arc of the chef’s vision. The wine list is carefully curated to complement the alpine-inspired flavours.

This season, Alpine Gourmet Prato Borni earned a Michelin star, a recognition of the high-quality cooking and the clear, confident direction of the kitchen. For those seeking a memorable evening in Zermatt, it offers a quiet, precise take on modern country cooking.
