Food was good the set menu dinner for 5 courses was insufferably slow. An hour and a half into the meal and we had not gotten to the main course. Wait staff was professional, a bit cool and not personable. I personally felt unwelcome. This was probably the main reason that drive my action to leave. Maybe I should have expected the portions to be small which they were but honestly if you stay at the Chedi go to the restaurant not the Japanese. We left. As we were leaving I was told “but we have a Michelin star”, as if that alone should change my mind.

"The Japanese by the Chedi Andermatt" is truly an experience. It offers very authentic Japanese cuisine in a unique ambiance. Both the terrace and the stylish interior of the restaurant invite you to relaxed hours with a breathtaking mountain panorama. We keep coming back to the restaurant mainly because of Giuseppe. As the restaurant manager, he creates a welcoming atmosphere and advises not only on the food but also ensures that you have the perfect wine or sake pairing for each course. His knowledge and the art of his storytelling take the experience to the next level. We look forward to our next visit with a new menu.

Amazing food, amazing service, amazing view. I highly recommend the black cod (marinated for 24 hours in white miso, served in a yuzu sauce), the Wagyu tartare with black truffles, the marinated scallops with caviar, the udon noodles with white truffles. We'll, there's nothing I didn't find amazing.
