Mountain experiences - outdoor adventures, food, family, friends and community – always find us at our happiest.

At Matterhorn Restaurant & Bakery we showcase the magical experience of Swiss on-mountain dining, whether it’s après-ski, après-work, or après-all day.

Our restaurant focuses on authentic alpine cuisine, thoughtfully sourced and lovingly served in a setting inspired by the mountain "Stüblis" of the Alps. The menu is anchored by the Swiss classics of Fondue and Raclette - but features other typical fare highlighting various alpine regions.

Beer, wine and beverage offerings are designed to feature classic and fun pairings from Old and New World alike.

The Matterhorn has been a San Francisco institution, and we're proud to bring a fresh new chapter to its iconic story. As our guest it's an honor to have you at the story's center!

    It's a very unique experience! The Matterhorn is one of those places that immerses you into a stylized experience, with inviting aromas, gentle lighting, perfect dinner music and a wonderful ambiance. The cheeses were delicious and it was so much fun sharing them at the table and chatting about them. I would definitely come back!

    Very unique dining experience but was not really a fan of any of the cheese fondue but my wife loved it so that’s what matters! The filet was amazing but I wish I could order it without rosemary rub which was overpowering. The s’mores fondue was incredible!

    We booked a reservation for two on a Friday night for our anniversary. We had passed by the restaurant for years and finally decided to try! Shelia at the hostess booth was warm and welcoming and got us seated at a cozy table away from everyone for our romantic evening. Delia, our server, took exceptional care of us. She offered very helpful insight to our order to make sure we were ordering things that complimented one another and helped so we didn’t order too much! Food was so nostalgic and good, everything we ordered was perfect. They were even sweet enough to bring us out a small dessert plate and two glasses of bubbly for our special night. We can’t wait to come back with friends !

    Great wine selections, cozy atmosphere. The traditional cheese fondue was excellent, but make sure to ask for extra pickled veggies. The meat course was over-seasoned with some herb rub yet under-salted. The sauces were also very herby. However, the meat itself was high quality with almost no gristle at all.

    My wife (who grew up in Switzerland) and I have been going to the Matterhorn for over 20 years. It closed down during Covid but is under new ownership now and we found it still an awesome experience. If you’re looking for Swiss cuisine this is the spot for you!!

    Cute wooden decors reminds me of a ski lounge. Service was great! It was my first time going to a fondue restaurant- so we asked the server to explain the various types of fondue. We started offf with the “Hot Stuff”- & the “Moitie-Moitie”. Both were excellent! I personally enjoyed the bit of kick from the Hot Stuff! The fondue comes with bread and pickled veggies to dip, but we also ordered a side of pretzels and some hot links- (I wanted to try to reindeer sausage but the were out for the day) Our table ordered a few rounds of beer/ cider- NOTE: this restaurant doesn’t not sell liquor. Nonetheless, the ciders were delicious To finish us off- we ordered the dessert fondues! Over all it was a great experience- perfect for date night, a casual evening, or unique place to bring parents / in-laws!
