Hotel Zermatterhof Dinner
Once we cleaned up and changed our clothes, it was time to meet the group for dinner. Dinner that night was held in the restaurant at the Grand Hotel Zermatterhof where we were staying. This was also the kids’ night.
We ate in the same restaurant, but different areas. No one but our group was in their that night. The adults were seated in the area in the back with the picture windows. After finishing their meals, the kids went to watch a movie.
Sitting down we were greeted by these awesome menus. Yes, I totally still have mine. Look at that awesome picture of Uncle Walt?! Proof he really did spend time in Zermatt.
We must have all gotten the same thing here for dinner, because i only have pictures of one entree.
The restaurant was serving a white wine and this Pinot Noir. My dad really liked this one. I believe it was from Switzerland, or perhaps France?
We all started with this salad. It doesn’t look like much, but this salad was delicious! The flavors went well together and the cheese and apricot added a nice texture. Also, always nice to get a few greens while on vacation. The other options were a meat salad and a soup. I'd be interested in seeing what the meat salad was like, but no one at our table ordered it. Also, it was way too hot for soup!
I got the lamb with vegetables and potatoes. I definitely know it was my entree because I am a big fan of lamb. From what I remember, this was tasty and a good portion.
To finish, we got some passion fruit mousse with chocolate ice cream. It was a yummy and light end to the dinner. We found this meal to be nice and relaxing.
It was a chance for everyone to enjoy one anothers’ company without any other entertainment. Plus, by this point in the trip, we had a chance to get to know one another pretty well and you’ve moved on from general small talk.
A pic I snapped of the wine cellar in the middle of the restaurant.
After dinner we walked around a bit and then enjoyed the evening in our hotel room. It had been a long day!
There were only 2 chairs on the balcony, so we improvised...
When we arrived in the hotel room upon checking in the day before, each family had a horse and carriage. Turns out there was chocolate in that there carriage!
I'm not sure who took this pic, but they were clearly trying to be "artsy".
We had to dig the chocolate out before we left the next morning, as it wasn't going to survive in anyone's bag in it's original state.
After enjoying the balcony, we headed to bed. Next morning we were off to Lucerne!
