The sign outside says "Best roast chicken in town". That's a false statement...this is the very best roast chicken in the world, at least I've ever had in my life.
We were here in the off season, but the restaurant was still packed so I was thankful I made a reservation in advance. The sweet and lovely waitresses spoke nearly perfect English and had a table for us despite being a half hour early. Ambiance feels like a dark beer tavern but very clean. We didn't hear a peep of English from any other tables.
$25 Whole Roasted Chicken...the divine crispy skin is generously seasoned with a secret sensational blend of spices throughout, while the meat is tender and juicy. We spent an extra $2 for the "House Sauce", which made everything even better. You can also spend $19 for a half chicken, but you really should spend the extra $6 for a whole and share it.
$11 Salad...gotta eat your veggies
$4 Pommes Frites, aka Fries, gotta have these!
$7.50-8...we got a couple of large 500ml glasses of Swiss beer.
$3 1.5liter carafe of that refreshing Swiss tap water.
I'll come back Luzern someday just for the sake of eating this roast chicken.
TRAVEL TIP 1: The Swiss frown about sharing plates, so one person should get the whole chicken while the other gets the "salad" as their main dish.
TRAVEL TIP 2: Swiss restaurant prices include tax and tip...so our $61 dinner is more like $48 from an American perspective. read more
