Zermatt

Zermatt visitors have singled out the croissant’s texture: a crisp surface gives way to a springy, chewy centre. One visitor also described the natural-yeast bread as moist and chewy. If you order a croissant, it may be worth pairing it with a savoury bread to enjoy a different texture.

For something more substantial, there is a croque monsieur with aubergine and Bolognese, described as generously topped with cheese and Bolognese sauce. Another visitor chose a croque monsieur and savoury breads. The focaccia with colourful vegetables was also reported to be filling, with plenty of vegetables. From croissants and natural-yeast bread to savoury options, there are choices for a light bite or a fuller meal.

Takeaway is available, and coffee is served. At Zermatt in Ogikubo, you could start with the croissant for its contrast of textures, then consider a savoury bread for a more substantial bite.
