Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"The food was certainly above average IMHO. Do make reservation as the restaurant can be fully packed during lunch even we were there in mid May and not the peak season. A big shout out to the waiters who were very entertaining and customers-centric. My son was not well due to high altitude and he was kind enough to offer him candy which it did help to calm him down."
"It was absolutely delicious. The only draw back for me was that it was a pretty small meal so it was not that filling. Also, this is not America, you will need to wave down the waiters."
"Restaurant Crystal in Jungfraujoch is really more about the view than the food. Sitting by the snow on top of the mountain with a glass of wine is an experience you won’t forget. It’s packed with tourists, noisy, and honestly feels a bit like a tourist trap, but that’s part of the charm. The food is basic and overpriced, nothing special in terms of flavor, but the scenery makes up for it. The waiters try a little too hard to be funny, repeating the same jokes to every table. It can get a bit annoying if you prefer a calmer vibe. Still, it’s one of those places you should try at least once for the view alone, because not every day you get to have a drink surrounded by snow on top of the Swiss Alps."
"This is a great restaurant with an amazing view at Jungfrau. We had the hash browns (vegetarian) as well as the cheesecake and both were great. Service was polite, prompt and they found us a table by the window without us asking."
"We visited Restaurant Crystal as a family of four, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was very good, well prepared, and perfect for a family meal after the journey up. The service was exceptional, especially from Cristina, who was extremely friendly, attentive, and made our family feel very welcome. The view was absolutely stunning. Our table was by the window, allowing us to enjoy a beautiful view of the Jungfrau through the windows during our meal. It was a truly memorable experience for our whole family. Highly recommended for families looking for great food, outstanding service, and an unforgettable alpine view."
"I went there with my girlfriend because we wanted to celebrate her birthday in a special place. As soon as the team knew it was her birthday they brought festive things including a special napkin, decorations and they also brought a candle in the dessert! They were fantastic! The food was really good, and the views to the glacier are superb! We had the traditional Swiss fondue and the crystal rosti. In terms of prices, it is the same if you’re having lunch in any restaurant in Switzerland which is great! We were served by Cristina who did an amazing job. She was super nice, always helpful, very kind! She was superb! Also, and despite we are very comfortable in English, she’s Portuguese and we had the opportunity to chat in Portuguese which became the experience even better. We also had the opportunity to chat with Simon, which was also super kind, always asking if everything was ok, also came to the table as soon as he knew it was my girlfriend’s birthday! On a close table, there was a person that wasn’t feeling well and he was very careful and always checking on the person! It is an amazing place and we highly recommend if you’re visiting jungfraujoch you should visit the restaurant."
"Glacier at the top of the Jungfraujoch, we were served by Kritisztian who was incredible and helped us choose the right fondue with all the dipping extras. 10/10 service to go with the 10/10 food and views of glaciers. If you are up here, you need to eat here."
"One of the restaurant at the Top of Europe. Managed to get a table even though we did not reserve. You can find a variety of cuisine but also traditional Swiss food. Got to try their cheese fondue which some might find overwhelming with the alcohol. I also thought the bread was too soft, the pretzel was a better bread for dipping the cheese. You could also keep your Top of Europe cup of coffee if you ordered one."
