During my last trip to Valais, I ate at a ton of delicious restaurants while skiing. During peak season, it's recommended to make a reservation if you're dining with a large group. Want to try some typical Swiss dishes? Think raclette, cheese fondue with local cheese, rösti, cheese escalopes, and meat dishes made with local game. For after-ski drinks, a Valais teller with charcuterie and cheese is highly recommended.
In this blog post, I've listed the best restaurants in Saas-Fee for you. Enjoy your winter sports!
Tip: Most good restaurants, such as Fletschhorn and The Capra, can pick you up from your chalet or hotel with their electric taxis.

The best restaurants in Saas-Fee, Switzerland
La Locanda / The Capra: The beautiful 5-star The Capra boasts La Locanda restaurant. The Italian-inspired menu with a Swiss touch is created by two-Michelin-starred Chef Olivier Glowig. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, and the 6-course Chef's menu is highly recommended. They offer a "Tradition" and "Innovation" tasting menu, featuring dishes made with local ingredients. Tip: a Chef's table is also available for reservation!

To the mill: You can't leave Saas-Fee without trying at least one typical Swiss meal. And preferably, typical Swiss food from Valais! Zur Mühle is the place to be. The house specialty is rösti, but I had a delicious schnitzel with fries. Late in the afternoon, the terrace fills up with people wanting a drink for après-ski.
Dorfstrasse, Saas-Fee, Switzerland
CofFee: The place to go in Saas-Fee for the best coffee in town. Here they serve Italian coffee expertly brewed by the baristas. It's the first coffee bar in Saas-Fee, and on a bad day, you can enjoy a coffee with a magazine!

Fletschhorn: The drive there alone is a delight. A narrow path through the woods on the edge of Saas-Fee leads you to Waldhotel Fletschhorn. This Michelin-starred restaurant, where Chef Markus Neff serves a daily tasting menu and à la carte dishes. Also fun: you can take a cooking class here!

Glacier Cave: In Saas-Fee, there are several huts along the slopes where you can enjoy a drink or a delicious lunch while skiing. This mountain hut is located about halfway down the slope after taking the Spielboden lift.

Chämi Stuba: Sometimes, after skiing, you just need a quick bite to eat so you can curl up with a book by the fire. Want to grab a pizza in Saas-Fee? Then you have to go to the Chämi Stuba. According to Saas-Fee locals, they make the best brick-oven pizza in town!
Dorfstrasse 21, Saas-Fee, Switzerland
Tea Room Sporting: Fancy a delicious cake? Then you have to go to Sporting bakery in Saas-Fee. I can't resist a carrot cake or a himbeerschnitte every now and then. It's also delicious to take back to the apartment for coffee!

Zur Scheaferstube: For delicious meat dishes and the best cheese fondue in Saas-Fee, head to the beautifully situated restaurant Zur Schäferstube on the edge of the village. This chalet was once the home of the shepherd Freggie, and you'll want to go there for the cheese fondue with Valais cheese. In good weather, the terrace is also a great spot for a late-afternoon aperitif! Order the "Shepherd's dish," a cheese plate with a glass of Heida wine. Tip: Another good restaurant for cheese fondue or raclette is Du!

Schaeferstube
Waldhüs Bodmen: This restaurant is owned by the same people as Zur Scheaferstube and also serves excellent cheese fondue and raclette. The menu isn't very different, except that Restaurant Waldhüs Bodmen features a lot of venison steak as its specialty.
