Wonderful food and spectacular views…read more We first chose this restaurant the evening we arrived in Lugano because it was within the Hotel Villa Sassa where we were staying. Then we discovered that it was a favorite of a friend who is a Lugano resident, and she joined us for dinner. The food was wonderful and the views were spectacular. We ended up eating here two of the three nights we were in Lugano. As others observed, the menu isn't extensive, but that is often a good sign that what is served is fresh and well prepared. A pea soup was spectacular, and the seafood was wonderful. Service was very attentive and professional. Our friend rates this one of the best restaurants in Lugano.

So there were…read morethree of us, two ate our meal together and the third ate his when we were finished..........why? Needless to say, I ordered a dish that was described on the menu as a scallop dish served with a turnip puree. What I got was not turnip but maybe a puree of broccoli rabe with three, possibly two scallops and one was sliced down the middle...it was tasty, but dont call it a scallop dish if there is barely three pieces of scallops in it. The third meal of our table was over cooked fish platter...My husbands meal was perfect but delivered 30 minute after ours. The waiter was super rushed for everything he did, he didnt speak but shouted quickly at us and was on his way to another table. I dont recommend the place, go to Sass Cafe next door.

We were given the best seat in the house, which was a bay window with breathtaking views of the Matterhorn. Our waitress was very friendly and also joined us for conversation around the fire. She knew everything and ingredients on the menu, which answered many of our 5 course meal questions. After we finished our glasses, we were escorted to the table where we enjoyed a meal that was fresh with locally grown ingredients. Each dish complimented the next and paired well with the accompanied drinks. The dessert was a delightful chocolate finish to a meal well prepared. If I am in Zermatt again, all make sure to add this place to my list.

Michelin one star and well deserved…read more Note: This restaurant shares the same name as the hotel it is located in. Casual and welcoming. The crackling fire in the fireplace sets the mood. Like all Michelin star fine dining restaurants, this is all about sensory dining on a menu designed to focus on the flavor and ingredients of the region. Modernist cuisine plays nicely with the traditional. Note: Prefix menus include a full vegetarian option. Any item can be ordered ala carte as well. Exceptional amuse course in three bites teases you with the taste of mountain herbs to cheese, to pickles and breads. Menu descriptions are deceivingly simple guaranteeing a surprise as each dish is delivered and tasted. The "Risotto"; mushrooms, seven mountain herbs and the incredibly creamy, aged Acquerello rice (gratis from the chef), excellent. Vibrant green in color, mounted with Swiss butter to finish. Very creamy, exploding with familiar and new flavors including an pronounced herb similar in aroma to the original Ricola. Baby mushrooms sautéed in rich butter and aggressively seasoned in contrast to raw sliced white mushrooms adorn the rice. The earthiness of the raw mushrooms and it's lack of richness adds contrast. Such a simple but rich and delicious dish. "Edible Crab", a trio of fresh picked and simply formed rounds of crab topped by mysterious pickled this and that in an intensely flavored soup of green beans and zesty lemon finished with drops of citrus oil. The pleasing medicinal notes of the pickles serve to smooth the briny, oceanic flavor of the crab. So many foreign flavors that blend beautifully together. Outstanding. "Green Beans" - the essence of a bean. The highly concentrated puree with beans in various states of being cooked or pickled. Tomato adds bright acidity to the refreshing, intriguing "soup". Escalope (Venison loin), amazing. Simply seasoned with salt and cooked rare, excellent. Gamey in all the right ways. Extremely tender, dense, juicy and flavorful. It pairs well with the tart mountain cranberry sauce that heightens the pleasing metallic notes and a uber rich butter poached king oyster mushroom that brings meaty decadence. Finally the wiener schnitzel, done the way it should be. Very thin slices of tender veal surrounded by a golden brown, fluffy crust oozing with rich butter flavor. Impressive in its utter simplicity. Petit fours and assortment of incredible Swiss chocolate round out the meal. Exceptionally friendly service lacking any stuffiness. Extremely well chosen wine list focuses on the wines of the country. An excellent meal that showcases the region and what Swiss food can be elevated to.

Such lovely simplicity this restaurant exudes…read more One arrives at the doorstep of the restaurant that is shyly located in a very narrow alley. You walk in to a quaint little humble place that feels more homely than michelin-y. The menu is as simple as the setup. We tasted pastas that looked simple but with taste structure that absolutely overwhelms the taste buds. However, with the conservative portions, we were left wanting for more. Then came the main courses of bacon pork and chicken. Tender pieces of pork with balsamic glazed peaches and mashed potatoes, this Bacon Pork dish was like a disco in my mouth; so fun and exciting! But the chicken... oh, the chicken. Most people don't do chicken well or even decent. This chicken was probably sous vide to perfect medium in a wonderful marinade. Juicy, tender... my taste buds haven't felt this relaxed in a long time. A simple, comfortable dish that felt like I am finally home. One word that describes my experience here: Sincere

The place is kind of hidden away, and my friend and I were worried we were in the wrong place. There's nothing around it really and it looks like it's located in an empty lot. However, once inside, you can feel the fancy atmosphere. Everything is pristine white. Lume really takes notice of service, as all of our waiters were very formal and took attention to details. They have a lot of complimentary small dishes, from appetizers, to bread, to pre dinner, to dessert. All of these were delicious and unique, especially a puffed rice dish with flower petals. I also loved the bread--delicious and fresh, and they had four options to choose from. My friend and I got both pasta and a meat and a dessert (didn't do the tasting menu). We were so stuffed by the end and shouldn't have gotten separate desserts. However, everything was very unique. I loved my ravioli pasta and lamb dish, which was served in three different unique ways. I wasn't a complete fan on my vanilla dessert (which was also three different dishes) because it was too alcoholy for me. I loved my friends' fresh berry dessert however. It was a very very expensive meal, but when you visit a restaurant like this you are paying for the service and unique dishes! The fact that their dishes are often presented as three separate variations attests to that.
