The Pipe has changed many times over the years – from a bar to a restaurant – and has now become one of our favourite places to eat in Zermatt. Serving up an inspired menu of Asian, African and Caribbean fare, it’s an informal dining experience amid soft lighting and brightly coloured walls.

Indeed, it’s far from a formal affair – but that’s half the charm. Sometimes the tables can be pushed a bit too close together, but on the whole it’s a thoroughly enjoyable dining spot that you simply must check out.
