Lucerne Restaurants

The Fristschi restaurant is a very nice place to eat and it's located in the middle of the old town. It has a tipical swiss environment and we ate a very good chesse and meat foundues. This is a very good place if you are looking for foundues in switzerland, since they are typical from here.

For desert, we asked for a chocolate foundue, but it was not very good, especially if we consider that we have the best chocolates in the wolrd around here.

I recommend this restaurant, since the prices and location are good, and the food is very good. I just don't recommend the chocolocate foundue.

Favorite Dish: The entree (I believe it was chicken) wasn't bad, but the Swiss fondue is what stands out as best. The service was good, the food was fine, and the folklore show was a hit. There is no reason for Kursaal to earn anything less than an A.

The Place is very nice, in modern style inside but there are also some tables in the street. The food is vietnamese and you can take as much as you can eat from the buffet for 24.50 CHF per person

Favorite Dish: What I liked more is chicken with pine apple

It was the aroma of the bread that lead me there. I bought 2 bread, one with cheese and ham and another with tomatoes. I love bread and could live on bread only and their breads are goooooood....

Favorite Dish: Cheese and Ham Cross. They are soft and the cheese is yummy.

There are two choices of restaurants at the top of Mt Pilatus. One is more of a cafeteria self serve style. Both are fine for a quick lunch and beer with a great view. From the cafeteria style restaurant, you may get to view the hang gliders trying to take off from the down slope.

After spending CHF105 at a pub for dinner the night before, we decided that a cheaper lunch was in order. If the main point of your trip to Switzerland is culinary sampling, then this is probably not for you. However, if you're on a budget, give the restaurant at the Luzern Co-Op department store a try. For around CHF15, I got a swiss steak with gravy and sides, a dessert, and drink. It was similar to an Ikea restaurant, but the quality was much better. It's a perfect stop if you're doing a lot of shopping.

Favorite Dish: I only had the Swiss steak with peppercorn gravy, which was the special of the day. It was not gourmet, but very good nonetheless.

We found this cozy place while walking around Lucerne. Pasquale wanted me to sample a traditional winter Swiss meal and this place offered it on the menu. The location is central on a small street. Inside you will find that it is very small and cozy and the tables are very close together.

Favorite Dish: You must try the Ailpermakronen - its a pasta and cheese dish with a drizzling of fried onions - served with side of applesace. Delicious!!

I found a local pub that was opened on a Sunday night. I ordered something I thought was a coffee. OH MY GOD! Ok, it was more like a hot chocolate, but I have NEVER IN MY LIFE TASTED SOMETHING SOOOOO GOOD! The Swiss are known for their chocolate, and you have to have one!

Favorite Dish: Hot chocolate / coffee
