    Came here during my trip to Switzerland, and this place is a must try in Luzern. This is a Spanish restaurant that specializes in tapas and paella, and the restaurant did a wonderful job in both categories. My favorite was definitely the carne paella, which was filled with flavor, meats (bacon, rabbit meat, chicken, sausage), and I opted for the black rice with the meal. Service was very accommodating and they even helped switch out the seafood paella to the other paella as I didn't realize how it could affect my girlfriend's shellfish allergy. So it was very nice to get that sorted out! Yes it's a bit pricey, but Switzerland in general is just expensive. Definitely worth a visit when in the area of Luzern.

    We landed here when the restaurant was about to close. They seated us but said pallela wouldn't be possible because it would take 40 minutes to cook, they offered us some tapas and we gladly took that offer. This was the only restaurant that seated us at 10p on a Sunday and we appreciated it much. We ordered some tapas and local wine and beer and it was delicious. The decor is pretty and comforting. Lovely place in Lucerne!

    While vacationing in Lucerne, we needed a light dinner in the city, something with small but tasty portions. Could this Swiss city have a tapas place, perhaps? Yes! Thankfully, a Spanish transplant moved to Lucerne and opened this spectacular restaurant featuring both tapas and paella. We were guided to Bolero by the tremendous online ratings, and we were not disappointed. The clever dishes and exceptional quality won us over! The Plato Variado (assorted plate) features three thinly shaved meats including chorizo, Serrano ham, and dried pork as well as Manchego cheese. The Chips de Trufa (truffle chips) are house-made chips with truffle oil covered in bits of Serrano ham. Both were incredible! And the Croquetas de Bacalao (cod croquettes) were nearly as delicious, with a piping hot crispy exterior and tender interior. You can use the iPad menus to isolate only gluten-free, lactose-free, or vegetarian dishes. The dessert menu is extensive. And a three-course tapas for the table is also available. And I hear the churros and paella are just as fantastic! So while I always seek out local cuisine and suggest you spend part of your time in Lucerne looking for great Swiss food, I have to recommend Bolero for at least one lunch or dinner! It's that good!

    A beautiful venue with a large selection of tapas and entrees. Stopped by during non prime time and grabbed a few entrees. The duck dish was a good portion and the sauce was flavorful but a little overpowering as I had a keep chugging water after each bite. The foie grad sandwich was indeed yummy. The service was typical European passive absentee even though the restaurant was near empty. Only came to our table when we ordered and when we called for the check, not quite fitting for the prices being charged here. At least the venue was beautiful while we waited around.

    Best meal of our trip to Lucerne. For our party of 5 we ordered the three course tapas and it was just perfect. Even my picky eaters tried some things they would not normally try and loved it. The service was equally wonderful and everyone made it feel welcome and at home.

    We had a delicious meal at Bolero, and were especially happy with the tapas. Lou is the best server, ask for him!

    We really enjoyed an unplanned, five course dinner at this fascinating restaurant. Unplanned…read morebecause we had no idea what Jose was going to serve as our menu was in his very capable hands. Five courses? Well, that's just how it worked out. We started our adventure with a dry, blonde sherry which led directly into fresh baked bread along with some incredibly good olive oil from Spain. The first course was an amazing, steamed artichoke to be shared by two people. One with thin strips of dried, smoked, salty pork and the other prepped delightfully for the vegetarian among us. The pork strips (not bacon) added an absolutely addictive quality to this dish. Our second course was outstanding. We enjoyed sliced, sautéed, porcini mushrooms. This is where the first wine of the evening was introduced - a valduero from 2007. The nose was fragrant, full and inviting. A really delicious red wine that complemented the next two courses beautifully. The third course featured 3 perfectly cooked, butterflied, steamed shrimp along with a few spoons of basmati rice. Now, I'm not a big fan of shrimp, but these were really delicious. Before the main course arrived, we were upgraded with a new bottle of wine from the same Vineyard and the same year but, this time a riserva. The nose was neutral in comparison to our first bottle. But after 30 minutes, the wine opened up and was an absolute delight with the rest of our meal. There were two main courses that were served shortly after opening our second bottle of wine. The first was the most beautiful Dover sole for our resident vegetarian who upgraded to Pescatarian for the evening. When it was brought around the table for inspection, I really thought we were all going to enjoy a bit of this fine fish. To my disappointment, and probably to piss off the animal lovers among us, three of us received filet mignon instead. Now that I know we have a choice between fish and beef, I'll cast my vote for the fish next time. Don't get me wrong, the meat was superb. I personally suffer a lot less when a multi-course dinner is served and I choose fish rather than red meat. But hey, that's just me. The side dishes offered at this time included some really nice side dishes such as steamed vegetables with butter, sautéed Swiss chard, and cooked spinach. Most of us were completely satisfied after the third course. Just sayin'. Unusually, we didn't have a Digestivo that evening but, a few of us opted to sample their desserts. Which included a rich, dense, chocolate cake as well as crema Catalana. My two cents: if you haven't eaten enough, try the chocolate cake. But, if you've had plenty to eat and simply want to experience a delightful and authentic Catalonian dessert, the crema Catalana can't be missed. So, to summarize and justify our four star rating: The food was excellent. The restaurant was much noisier than expected. The owners did nothing over the years to buffer the sound so, if you're looking for a place to have a romantic, quiet evening of discussion, this is not the place for you. Hard wooden floors and plain wooden chairs, wooden walls and wooden ceilings encourages a noisy, cafeteria type atmosphere. The food is first class. The atmosphere is friendly, country tavern. The service was superb. We'll be back for sure. The four of us spent 600 CHF for this culinary adventure.

    Very fresh seafood cooked in a delicate way. The lamb chop is highly recommended, very tasty and…read morejuicy. The service is good too.
