I was craving fondue, but then I discovered raclette…read more Fondue House Du Pont is a great option for anyone craving an authentic fondue experience in Lucerne. This cozy spot offers a wide selection of delicious fondues with unique flavors. Make a reservation for the patio as the restaurant's prime location gives you an amazing view of the Chapel Bridge and Old Town Lucerne. Our classic cheese fondue was tasty, but I loved the raclette! What is raclette? Raclette is a Swiss dish in which a wheel of semi-soft cow's‑milk cheese, traditionally from Valais, is heated and the melted layer is scraped onto potatoes, bread, and pickled vegetables. Raclette refers both to the cheese and the dish. The name comes from the French racler, meaning "to scrape," describing how the melted cheese is served. Our traditional raclette had a wedge of cheese that was heated on a special tabletop electric raclette machine. It was served with bowls filled with boiled red potatoes, cornichons, tiny, pickled pearl onions, steamed veggies, cubes of bread and sliced fruits. Loved the melted cheese that topped the fruits, veggies, pickles, potatoes and bread. Note: Although they do have chocolate fondue here, many Swiss Fondue restaurants do not.

She was very helpful in deciding what to order, but she disappeared the rest of our meal.

My favorite fondue cheese was the herb/spiced one. It was very flavorful. The restaurant was very busy and the staff were frantic the entire time we were there. The food was good but was hoping for better service :(

Of course who doesn't love a German brat served perfectly in a portion that can more than feed one person. Our service was great. Our atmosphere was fantastic and the food was more than enough. We're so glad we stopped in here for a bite of lunch on a super cold day.

It is actually part of a tennis club but open to the public. We arrived at our appointed time and were worried when our online reservation (go to their website) couldn't be found. When I pulled up my email confirmation we discovered I had booked that date....but for a year from now! (A bit surprised an online reservation would allow submitting a rsvp request that far in advance). Luckily for us they had one table left. A group of 44-all the remaining seats-were expected at 7 so we hustled with our ordering. We started with a charcuterie platter then all got the special, grilled white fish (which was really good). Interestingly, the fish came atop mixed fall vegetables (tasty) then in addition, they bring fries and a pasta salad plus three sauces all served family style to the table-so plenty of food. Loved the bernaise with the fries. To their credit despite the presence of the large group, we never felt neglected or ignored. It was fascinating to watch the precision of the small staff in plating and serving the group given the very small open kitchen. A truly hidden gem off the beaten track and well worth taking the train to dine here.

We started with the caesar salad - it's the best we've had on our two week trip through Europe. For mains ordered the barbecued veal short ribs (which had great char and flavor) and the fried trout filets.

The included sides and sauces were very good too. Would eat here again on a return trip to Lungern.

Best meal we had in this trip--not cheap but this almost convinced us that the Swiss are undeserving of their rep as having bland, expensive food. That's only half true--I mean it costs the equivalent of 10 buckets of KFC but oh so much better! The inside looked kinda like your grandma's dining room with that old timey vintage wooden stereo console. The food though and that yellow soul sauce were the highlights. Spicy, salty and fried to a perfect crispness, the chicken and potatoes went so well with their Aperol spritz. Dine outdoors for a perfect view of the bikers along these quiet side streets. Also, the WCs were stocked with various body sprays (I'm told Axe in the men's) and feminine products. Not entirely sure what that's about, but nice touch nonetheless.
