Restaurant in Gluringen Goms, Switzerland
Michelin-noted value in an unlikely valley setting.
Tenne holds a Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025, making it the only recognised-quality dining destination in Gluringen Goms. At the €€ price tier, it offers a value ratio that is rare in Swiss fine dining. Visit in late summer or early autumn to catch the kitchen at its most seasonally expressive.
The common assumption about dining in the Goms valley is that you're choosing between alpine convenience and culinary quality. Tenne corrects that assumption. Holding a Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025, this Swiss restaurant at Furkastrasse 320 in Gluringen delivers recognised kitchen craft in a setting most visitors write off as purely a transit corridor to the Furka Pass. If you're passing through or staying in the region, this is the meal worth planning around.
Tenne sits at the mid-range price tier (€€), which in Switzerland represents genuine value relative to the Michelin recognition it carries. For context, most Swiss restaurants earning Michelin attention operate at €€€€, so the price-to-recognition ratio here is a meaningful differentiator. A Google rating of 4.7 across 333 reviews adds a further signal: this isn't acclaim manufactured by proximity to tourist infrastructure, but sustained satisfaction from a genuine diner base.
Swiss cuisine at this altitude is defined by the calendar in ways that urban restaurants rarely are. The Goms sits at roughly 1,300 metres, and the kitchen at Tenne works within seasonal rhythms that are genuinely constrained by geography. Summer and early autumn are when alpine ingredients reach their peak: mountain herbs, local dairy at its richest, and game beginning to appear as the season turns. Winter brings a different register, one suited to long-braised preparations and the kind of hearty, fat-rich plates that make sense after a day at altitude.
If you're visiting for a special occasion or anniversary dinner, late summer through early October is the window to target. This is when the kitchen has the widest range of fresh alpine produce to work with, and when the surrounding landscape gives the meal a context that adds to the occasion without requiring you to seek it out. If you're travelling in winter for skiing or snowshoeing in the Goms cross-country network, expect the menu to skew toward warming, substantial plates; less variety, but often more soul. Booking is described as easy by current demand data, which means you don't need to plan weeks in advance, though calling ahead is always sensible given the restaurant's location in a small village.
A Michelin Plate is not a star. It's important to understand what you're actually booking. The designation means Michelin's inspectors found food prepared to a consistent standard worth noting, but not at the level of starred technique or creativity. For Tenne, two consecutive years of Plate recognition (2024 and 2025) suggests reliable, honest cooking that performs at a level above what the village setting might lead you to expect. Think of it as a quality floor, not a ceiling: you are guaranteed a competent, well-sourced Swiss meal, but you should not arrive expecting the creative ambition of a Memories or a Schloss Schauenstein. For the price point and location, that's the right expectation to carry in.
For a special occasion in the Goms specifically, Tenne is the credible choice precisely because alternatives at this standard don't exist locally. You would need to travel significantly for a comparable or better meal, which changes the calculus for anyone already in the valley. The 4.7 rating from over 333 reviews suggests the kitchen delivers consistently enough that a celebration dinner is a reasonable bet.
Tenne is at Furkastrasse 320, 3998 Gluringen, Switzerland, a short distance from the main Goms valley road. Given the rural setting, arriving by car is the practical approach; the Furka Pass road makes it accessible from both the Valais and Uri directions in summer months, though the pass closes in winter, which affects routing from the east. Booking is rated as easy, meaning same-week reservations should generally be achievable, but confirming in advance is advisable for weekend evenings or if you're travelling specifically for the meal. The price range (€€) means a meal here will not stretch a moderate dining budget, and the Michelin recognition adds confidence that the kitchen is operating with intent.

Book Tenne if you are in the Goms and want a meal that exceeds the expectations the setting might create. The €€ price point with two consecutive Michelin Plates is a genuine value signal in the Swiss context. Time your visit for late summer or early autumn to give the kitchen's seasonal range the leading possible conditions. For a special occasion in this valley, there is no comparable local alternative. If you're willing to travel further into Switzerland for a more ambitious meal, Memories in Bad Ragaz or Schloss Schauenstein in Fürstenau operate at a different level of ambition, but they come at €€€€ and require dedicated trips. Tenne earns its place by doing something harder: delivering recognised quality in a location where you would not expect to find it.

A quick look at how Tenne measures up.
Booking at least 1–2 weeks ahead is advisable, particularly in peak alpine seasons (summer hiking and winter ski periods) when the Goms valley draws the most visitors. Tenne's Michelin Plate recognition two years running means it attracts diners from beyond the immediate area, so don't assume availability on arrival. Contact via the address at Furkastrasse 320 or check for a website listing to confirm current booking channels.
Tenne sits at €€ pricing in a rural Swiss valley setting, which points toward relaxed but presentable attire rather than formal dress. Think clean casual or country-smart: no need for a tie, but arriving in walking gear straight off a trail may feel underdressed. The Michelin Plate recognition suggests the kitchen takes quality seriously, and dressing accordingly shows respect for that.
At €€, Tenne represents a strong value case for Michelin-noted cooking. Two consecutive Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025) confirm consistent quality from inspectors, and the price point is modest relative to comparable recognized restaurants in Switzerland. If you are already in the Goms for hiking or skiing, the effort-to-reward ratio here is high.
Nothing in the venue data rules out solo dining, and a €€ Swiss restaurant with Michelin Plate recognition is generally a comfortable solo experience — the spend is contained and the setting is not inherently couple- or group-oriented. That said, hours and table configurations are not confirmed in available data, so calling ahead to check is worth doing if you're planning specifically around a solo visit.
Tenne appears to be the primary Michelin-recognized dining option in Gluringen itself. For a step up in ambition within Switzerland, IGNIV Zürich by Andreas Caminada or Schloss Schauenstein (both carrying higher Michelin recognition) are the natural comparisons, though neither is local to the Goms. Within the valley, options are limited, which is part of what makes Tenne's consistency notable.
For a special occasion in the Goms, Tenne is the most credible local option: two consecutive Michelin Plates at a €€ price point means you get recognized quality without the financial commitment of a full fine-dining blowout. It works well for a celebration dinner during an alpine trip where full formality isn't the goal. If the occasion demands Switzerland's highest tier, Schloss Schauenstein or Memories would be the comparison.
Specific menu formats and pricing are not confirmed in available data for Tenne, so it's not possible to give a verdict on a tasting menu specifically. What is confirmed: two years of Michelin Plate recognition signal consistent kitchen quality at a €€ price range. If a tasting menu is offered, the value case at this price point in a Michelin-noted venue is generally sound — confirm directly with the restaurant before booking around that expectation.
