    Outside

    I'm already bookmarking this hotel to recommend and to come back to in the future. We opted for the balcony with river view and when I first got to the room, I just sat there looking at the view, incredulous at how beautiful it was. We were on the third floor, if that is helpful for anyone booking. Staff was incredibly helpful: drew on our map, made dinner recommendations, called for reservations; even offered to mail my postcards when I checked out. The location was perfect; we were able to walk to the main train station quickly, the Lion of Lucerne was a 15 minute walk, as was pretty much everything else. I will definitely book here again when I have the chance to visit Lucerne!

    Sitting at a canopy covered table in a fuzzy chair along lake luzern with a view of chapel bridge in the drizzling rain. An unforgettable moment which would be a perfect all by itself. Throw in a Perfectly cooked ribeye, potatoes and vegetables along with a fritta the Swiss version of a shepherds pie (describes it fairly well). Great service along with a local Pinot and finishing with a Swiss Irish coffee (with schnapps) to keep you toasty inside while strolling in the rain.

    cheese fondue with chilies

    We came here because we saw all of the other patrons with cheese fondue. It was also the only place we didn't feel intimidated by and where the wait staff actually welcomed us (i think it's the culture in Switzerland to just sit yourself down but we were not accustomed to it so we waited to be seated). We ordered a rotis with the traditional cheese fondue. It was exactly what i wanted on this crisp sunny afternoon. The cheese fondue was filling, gooey and delicious. We also shared a rotis and it was perfect also. Though it was very touristy, you can get a great seat next to the water and they don't pester you to leave at all.

    Eggs Benedict

    No need to visit Starbucks next door. Coffee is almost espresso. Eggs Benedict were over potatoes. Wonderful.

    Lamb

    This place is amazing. The wait staff is very helpful and friendly. Extremely courteous in going over the menu. We had the lamb and the cordon bleu. Both were excellent. The cordon bleu however was spectacular. I would give it an 11 out of 10 if that was even possible. Was just a great lunch sitting along the river. Do yourself a favor don't even bother looking at the menu. Just get the bleu a salad and side of veggies. Couple glasses of wine and relax for an hour or so.

    I would say this is really a 3.5 stars and just for the restaurant. The food plus the view was great but the services was no good. The waiter that we had was rude from the very beginning before we even sat down. We told him we wanted to get seated by the water and that we were willing to wait. Instead of just being understanding, he had to make a comment that we were willing to wait to be 2 meters closer to the water. Which I thought was really rude. Then when we finally got seated I asked a question about the menu and got an attitude of "what do you mean how it works it's just that menu?" Then he kept running off as I try to make my order because I wasn't sure what to drink and would like to ask for some recommendations but there was no chance. However, the food was decent and reasonably priced. So if you're looking for somewhere with a nice view and reasonable price to eat I would recommend this place. You may be lucky and not get the rude waiter like me. I did see that the other servers were a lot better especially the manager that understood us when we told him we were waiting for the table by the water like the other customers.

    Breakfast

    One of the best location in Lucerne. Two old but remodeled buildings. The rooms facing lake are 40-50 CHF more than those with town-street view. The room size is relatively small. No air condition :-(. Restaurant on the first floor facing the water has the best seats to view the whole Kapellbrücke and the water towel, Lucerne's landmark and the most frequently photographed monument in Switzerland. The dinner was good, and we expected a little more expensive. Breakfast (covered in room rate) on the ground floor is fantastic. You could begin your day with fresh-made bread, fruit, and coffee while sitting outside facing the beautiful Kapellbrücke. Free wifi! Highly recommended hotel!

    Enjoyed a lovely lunch right by the water. Wait staff was kind explaining the menu and food was good. We ate early and avoided the crowds.

    An upscale and hip burger and wing spot in the center of a European city, what's not to love?!…read more We popped in as our last meal in Switzerland and were extremely grateful for the staff to allow us to eat even though we didn't have a reservation. (Note: make a reservation if you dream of eating here) After looking through the menu we started with the house-flavored wings and LOVED them. In fact, my wife thought they were some of the best she's ever had! We then both had burgers and shared fries. The portions are very well-sized and I don't think you'll leave hungry. The flavor and food quality helps with that aspect as well - both are top notch! The ambiance is super chill while maintaining an upscale fit and finish. On a nice day you could even eat outside at their tables, would be a wonderful treat given the little square it borders. A word of caution: prices are at a premium (even for Switzerland). I'm a fan of Wolf and couldn't recommend it enough for lunch or dinner. Get a reservation for tomorrow and thank me later.

    A good burger place in the city with a nice little park right beside the outdoor seating. The…read moreservice was good and friendly. We had one burger and one chicken sandwich. The sandwiches are fair size and come with all the fixings you want or plain if that's your thing. Both had good flavor and were cooked just right. They are also a brewery. I had the in house Wolf Beer pale. It had good body and went down easy.
