The menu has burgers and hot dogs. I got Swiss hot dog. It was smothered in raclette. At first I thought it would be a weird combo, but it was actually pretty good. They can make any of their hot dogs, burgers and chicken sandwiches vegetarian. Our waitress was friendly and speedy. We were able to pay separately and with our cards.

We stumbled on the Rathaus Brauerei purely by luck, since it was near our hotel. It was a weeknight…read moreand they kindly squeezed us in between reservations. We sat inside for dinner on our first visit, and came back again for lunch outside the next day. The atmosphere at the Rathaus is warm and typically Swiss, and its views of the Luzern waterfront and Kapellbrücke can't be beat. The food is excellent, from lighter fare like sandwiches on pretzels to more traditional dishes like white sausage with mustard. My brother-in-law ordered two different beers, and said they were the best he's ever had in his life. The most lasting memory for us, however, was our absolutely amazing server on our second visit. She was warm, friendly, funny, and spoke excellent English, giving us tips and recommendations for our Luzern stay. We even shared hugs on our final visit. Don't miss the Rathaus Brauerei--it remains a highlight of our wonderful stay in Switzerland!

If you're searching for a spot to grab a brew and a bite, or even a full meal, then Rathaus…read moreBrauerei is your spot! For a full meal make sure you get a reservation a day ahead (at least) but for a quick bite on the outdoor patio it's just walk on up! That's what we did - we found a table and sat down. Our server was a delightful young man who spoke full English and was all smiles the entire time. He knew what we wanted without any trouble and he was always around when we needed him. The menu has a ton of great options, you can't go wrong. And everything we had was tasty! The portions are decent and the prices are nothing crazy. But the beer is cold and hits the spot! Speaking of the spot... the outdoor patio is covered (great for any weather) and they even have blankets you can use if you're cold. The views of the Kapellbrücke are phenomenal and you get to just sit back, relax, and take in the sights of the city. Great people watching! We are big, BIG fans of Rathaus and nearly considered it for a second visit on our trip because the dining room looks like a whole experience in itself! Get a reservation or just walk over, you'll love it!

If you are not a local and are visiting. DO NOT go here!!!…read moreLast night I went here with a friend and the bartender overcharged me for 2 Guinness Beers. The usually price is about CHF 10 but he charges me CHF 15 each!! I couldn't believe they charged me 30 CHF for 2 beers! I went to a nicer bar and they mentioned that I basically got ripped. Who knew Swiss locals at this bar treated their tourist this way. They should be completely ashamed. And the bartender the audacity to ask me if I wanted another round! Please people, DO NOT drink here unless you want to get ripped off!!

This place seems to be very popular with locals. We came for a very early dinner (around 4:30) and…read moresaw that most of the tables had reservation cards, so it was likely fully booked for the evening. We had the Tajine Kefta with fries and a small Mezze plate with Hummus, Baba Ganoush, Falafel, and Taboulé. The Kefta was moist with a loose texture. It was a little bit spicy and had generous amount of tomato sauce. The hummus and falafel were the weaker of the two mezze items. The hummus is a bit chunky (not super smooth or fluffy). The falafel came with Tzaziki (super creamy and very garlicy). They had good texture, but not super crunchy and crispy on the outside. The Baba Ganoush was really flavorful, deep, fresh, with good texture (smooth with some chunks of eggplant). The taboule was also really fresh tasting and moist. The service here was also notably great. Servers were super helpful and kind. Their bathroom was also quite nice.

I had the Kafka dish, basically lacking in spices and really with a tomato sauce would have been something a college student could have made for ten dollars for four people! My wife ordered vegetable couscous. Couscous( dry) with some sticks of carrots and zucchini. Keep in mind, we have to pay $34 CDN for EACH of these meals. If it wasn't for the beer and the feel to the place....1/2 a star would have been it. Ps. The bar was busy! Yes. I've downgraded to one star. The important part. My Kafka dish was not made fresh or had been sitting so long that it started to have the fat congeal. When I took the fancy cover off my dish when it arrived...a skin had formed over the whole dish and the edges had solid fat forming.
