Every single dish was so expensive, so it was impossible to dinate there for free! The sushi was not fresh, but considering that it is in the Alps, they deserve a break. The service is slow and the restaurant is overrated. If you are looking for a special, authentic experience in Switzerland, don't come here.

Upon our Arrival we were told by the Chef de Service that we had a reservation, however, we did not have a reservation. He again confirmed the reservation and that we should wait in the bar. I offered him to have the dinner at the bar which was declined. I thereafter asked how long we would have to wait and I was told that I would have to wait at least 45 minutes or more. I was quite upset as this gentleman had waisted my time and they could have told me that the restaurant was full in the morning and I could have decided for another restaurant. I was not offered another option and the Chef de Service just laughed at me. All in all a very disappointing experience considering that I have a residence in the area and I also visit restaurants regulary outside the high season during Christmas and the last two weeks of February. I would have expected an apology but instead I witnessed a total lack of customer service.

If you like sushi and you do not have a great choice in Gstaad, then Megu in the Alpina is the place to go, as long as you are not on a budget. read more If you like sushi and you do not have a great choice in Gstaad, then Megu in the Alpina is the place to go, as long as you are not on a budget.
