"Sunday Opening" Restaurants in Canton Lucerne
Lunch or dinner here is an experience for fans of art and cuisine. Not only was part of the interior designed using a 3D printer, but the menus are also conceptualised. The dishes look beautiful and taste wonderful at the same time.
La Pistache combines the grandeur of the traditional Balm restaurant with light, modern cuisine. There is plenty of sophistication on the plates, the wine list is well thought out and the elegant ambience makes this place a reliable address for enjoyable evenings.
Omakase culture gives the chef the power to decide on the composition of the menu. The exquisite multi-course meal is prepared in front of the guests using traditional techniques and takes you on a gastronomic journey to the Far East. The sake selection is superb!
The Negral gourmet parlour at Klostergasthaus Löwen has just 20 seats. A six- to ten-course surprise menu made from regional and international ingredients is served here in an intimate setting. Each course is accompanied by perfectly matched wines.
Werner Tobler only uses fresh produce from selected suppliers in his kitchen. He doesn't let anything dictate his cooking, except the season. His down-to-earth cuisine is somewhere between the Alpine region and the Mediterranean - the main thing is that it tastes good.
Klingler's in Lucerne is a classic upscale Italian restaurant that places great value on quality. At the weekend, sushi is added to the menu - a bold second signature that brings variety without contradicting the philosophy of the establishment.
Nadine Baumgartner and Oscar de Matos are back in Lucerne and more curious than ever. Word has got around that Japanese and Spanish accents influence the food. The café serves speciality cakes in the afternoon and mutates into a wine bar in the evening.
Everything is just right here: the view of the water and mountains as well as the Mediterranean cuisine with international accents, whether à la carte or as a three- to six-course menu. The creative creations are convincing in their entirety. The ambience is stylish and the service warm. Pure relaxation.
The new outlet is strategically located in the "Hotel Schweizer-hof". Anyone strolling through Lucerne, on foot or by car, will almost always pass one of the city's classiest hotels. The "Vico" is advertised on the website as a lifestyle brasserie, which is not to be taken too seriously. The atmosphere is elegant, the comfortably upholstered benches and stucco on the high ceiling are enticing, there are different table arrangements, the seating is wonderful and often with a view. If that's what is meant by lifestyle - here you go! Perhaps the way the restaurant's website highlights the names and visuals of the senior staff should also be understood as lifestyle: Claudia Alves Ribeiro, is hostess, Stefan Ritter is head chef. What is also advertised are the Bordeaux wines on the wine list. And indeed, there are quite a few on the wine list, as well as an unusual depth of vintage. Château Batailley from 2020 and 2015, Lafite-Rothschild many times over up to the mythical 1982 and many, many more. As far as prices are concerned, you can pick up a few bargains, especially with older bottles. And while we're on the subject of "cheap": The lunch menu is anything but expensive, and the à la carte offerings are also fairly priced. Especially as our lobster bisque contained succulent pieces of crustacean and the veal tartare was pleasantly seasoned with tête de moine, caramelized nuts and Pommery mustard; the crispy pieces of bread made us happy. The fact that the tiramisu then seemed a little harmless: no problem. Next time we'll have "Millefeuille de la Maison" and a glass of mature Sauternes to go with it.
Head chef Felix Kattchin is the master of the fire. The meat sommelier masters cooking on the grill perfectly, and guests are rewarded with delicious meat, fish and vegetable creations. All while enjoying the marvellous view of the lake.
The Barbatti is as much a part of Lucerne as the Löwengraben and the Chapel Bridge. It serves delicious, nostalgic Italian cuisine. Thanks to dishes such as carpaccio di manzo, spaghetti alle vongole and scaloppine al limone, you can dream yourself away on holiday here.
The wonderful panoramic terrace at the Vitznauerhof offers inspired vegetable cuisine, served with flavours from all over the world. Here, meat is used as a "topping". A lot of cooking is done with smoke and fire, resulting in dishes with depth of flavour and zest.
The food at the Pony is seasonal and clean. There are terrines, soups, fish or roasts, plus vegetables from the surrounding area. The pavilion is bright and quiet, while the neighbouring pub is smaller and down-to-earth. The garden is in bloom and the view stretches far over the Lucerne hinterland.
Off the beaten track, the cooking here is the kind you rarely experience these days: without fuss, but with a sure hand and a feel for the essentials. The cuisine remains down-to-earth, but allows for small outliers. A place that doesn't have to prove anything - and that's exactly where it excels.
This restaurant works with the best ingredients - many of which come from the surrounding pastures and fields. They are processed into simple but delicious creations such as burgers, gnocchi or ragout. There is also an exciting selection of organic Swiss wines.
In Lucerne's picturesque old town, the Brasserie Bodu serves up savoir vivre. Bistro classics, oysters and a wine list that bears the signature of a true connoisseur make this address a constant in Lucerne's gastronomic landscape.
Located directly on the River Reuss, this restaurant combines historical architecture and modern cuisine. The French-Mediterranean menu attracts locals and hotel guests alike. Wonderful grilled specialities and even a tasting menu are on offer.
Italian pasta and pizza cuisine at a high level: City diners love La Cucina in Pilatusstrasse for its homemade pasta, crispy pizza and varied wine selection. The room is lively, the service fast. A place for an uncomplicated evening.
The Belle Époque chic with the round bar in the centre matches the elegant, international cuisine with an uncomplicated Swiss twist. You are welcome here at any time of day and will be pampered by every trick in the book. The cocktail menu is worth a sin.
The atmosphere here is cosy and elegant. On the menu: classic dishes with a French-Mediterranean touch. Sometimes fish from local lakes is on the plate, sometimes seafood or meat. A versatile, solid cuisine. This also applies to the wines.
