Enjoyment with provenance
Restaurant Im Hof – refined cuisine with its own Julen tradition
At Restaurant Im Hof, a calm, distinguished atmosphere blends with refined cuisine and an authentic connection to the region. Here, it is not only taste that takes centre stage, but also the origin of the ingredients.
What makes the restaurant particularly special are the family Julen’s own meat and cheese products from the farm. What has its origins in the pastures around Zermatt makes its way directly onto the plate – authentic, seasonal and prepared with great care.
From the farm to the plate
The family Julen’s farming and gastronomy have always belonged together. At Restaurant Im Hof, this natural cycle becomes immediately tangible.
High-quality, seasonal ingredients meet our own products and a cuisine that combines tradition with fine refinement. This creates a culinary experience that makes the family Julen’s bond with their homeland palpable.
Locally rooted. Refined in style. Truly Julen.
Great wine selection for special moments
The perfect menu deserves the right wine. With a selection of over 200 wines, Restaurant Im Hof offers the ideal companion for a wide range of tastes and culinary preferences.
Whether it is a special vintage, a distinctive Valais wine or a new discovery – let us advise you and find your personal favourite.
