Any restaurant recommendations in Mürren?

To preface my suggestions, I wouldn't go into Switzerland expecting epic food. The quality to price ratio is a bit lacking in my opinion and often I find that getting a picnic from the Coop (grocery) for wine/beer, bread, fruit, chocolate, pre-prepared salads/sandwiches/rotisserie chicken, etc. + cheese & dried meats from the local farmers and going to a spot with an epic view brings about a higher quality experience. That being said, if you really want to go to a restaurant, this is a run down of the options:

Eiger Guesthouse - new outdoor patio over the train station, the service is decent, as is the food

Hotel Alpenblick - lovely owners with warm, friendly service + local ingredients

Hotel Regina - they also have an outdoor patio with a good view and some of the food in decent

Murren Palace - fanciest option, large wine list, new outdoor patio has nice views and ambiance

Hotel Eiger - international menu with decent quality

Alti Metzg, Stager Stubli & Time Out Bistro - these are the three restaurants the locals frequent most often - personally I don't eat at Stager Stubli, as I find the service there very rude and Alti Metzg gets overcrowded as it's right by day trippers favorite selfie spot. I guess if you like to people watch, it's a great option. Time Out Bistro is a chill spot on the back road (attached to the Sportzentrum/tourist office)

InSport Coffee - best coffee option in town and the "toasties" sandwiches are good

Hotel Alpina & Hotel Edelweiss - average

Cafe Liv - decent if you want vegan options, overcrowded for my preference

Hotel Blumental & Hotel Alpenruh - unremarkable, owned by the Schilthorn

Tham's Chinese - decent Chinese food, cash only

Hotel Jungfrau - personally wouldn't eat here for multiple reasons

Allmendhubel restaurant - average, intense atmosphere if you don't have kids as the playground is right there

Piz Gloria revolving restaurant - rip off

Suppenalp - mountain hut, good food (have to hike to it)

Pension Gimmelwald - average

Mountain Hostel Gimmelwald - used to recommend their wood fired pizza, not anymore - the quality has gone way down hill

This is a great summary! We also relied on Coop quite a bit along with our hotel breakfast.

I'll only add that for a splurge, Murren Palace has a unique and quite special private dining experience. It's a customizable tasting menu on a private terrace.

I'm in an expensive food city and still found dining in Murren to be quite a bit higher than what I am accustomed to, however this was in the ballpark of what I would expect for a nice tasting menu at home without the amazing view.

We had two delicious meals at Eiger Hotel Restaurant. They have a large menu. The menu at Murren Palace hotel is small - not a lot of options to choose from, and it is very expensive. We also had good lunch at Restaurant Stagerstubli and a good dinner at Hotel Edelweiss. Murren is delightful, enjoy!

We were there a week and a half ago. We enjoyed Stagerstubli, but just had the fondue there, which we really enjoyed. The server was a hoot - she was working and chatting up the whole room at dinner.
We ate pizza one night at Eiger Guesthouse - it was decent. Service was good.
We did the 3 course dinner at Pension Gimmelwald. It was a solid meal, and decently priced for the area. Very cozy atmosphere.
For lunches, we relied on Coop and either ate on our hikes or from the balcony at Hotel Alpenblick. If we had one night more, I would have liked to try the dinner at the hotel. Our stay mostly overlapped their nights off.
Enjoy! Mürren is so beautiful!!
