Restaurant Chez john The Roadhouse : Av. de Chillon 68, 1820 Montreux

What an incredible experience! Chef is such a wonderful person and so is everyone at the restaurant. I was visiting Montreaux on a business trip and I am so glad we went for a long walk here. What a special experience!! Steak was incredible, but so was that salad!!

One of the best steak I’ve ever had - not just in Montreux, in Switzerland, or in Europe - in the world. And I’ve been to many acclaimed steakhouses in North America, Italy, the U.K, Japan, Korea, and so on. Chez John’s steak is clean-tasting, sweet, and lean but also tender to a fault. I am usually a fan of fattier cuts but if all lean beef tasted like that I’d be a convert! The hot stone the steak comes on ensures that your meat is never cold but the steak also develops a crust slowly throughout your meal - ingenious! And the fries and sauces - don’t even get me started! There’s a lot of thought and heart that went into creating the sauces that accompanied the meal. A luscious herb butter, three types of aioli-esque dips with curry, herbs, or tomato & cocktail sauce. Though the beef is already perfect on its own, the sauces make the meal so much more interesting! And the fries are absolutely perfection. Simple, crispy, well salted . Last but not least, chef and owner John is a kind, friendly, and welcoming host. It was a real pleasure visiting his phenomenal steakhouse, extremely underrated for what it is. For visitors going to Chillón Castle or the Queen Experience Studio, this is close enough and a must visit in my opinion. You will not regret it!

Best beef I have ever had in Montreux and Switzerland. Chef and staff were very friendly. I love the "Beef pro Natura" menu. I should order large size instead! I miss his beef already when I come back home 🤣 Will definitely recommend this restaurant to all of my friends!
