I have to say that this was my favorite meal in Lucerne. Oh my goodness!! Our tour guide highly…read morerecommended it. I'm not sure that I would have seen it had it not been for Chris. It's quite the hidden gem. First of all, the rustic and unpretentious ambiance hit all the right notes. I mean, I couldn't have asked for a better lunch setting. Although, Lucerne is full of beautiful outdoor terrace scenery. This one was by and far the best indoor scenery. Seriously! Just look at the pictures. The 4 course pasta lunch was exactly what I wanted in a Swiss Italian meal. It's all served family style. There were 3 of us. We started with the soup & salad. It was a delicious seasonal pumpkin cream soup. She told us what was in it, but I totally forgot. It was also well-presented in a white soup tureen. The salad was equally as wonderful. I love the salad & dressing here! The quality fresh ingredients including pumpkin seeds (for Autumn) and croutons with that tasty homemade dressing is out of this world. I would have been happy & satisfied with just the soup & salad alone. The pasta dish came out not too long after the starters. Wow! Honestly, I thought the Pasta Amatriciana was better than any pasta dish I've had in Italy. I don't normally make statements like that. I just love the simple sauces made from fresh crushed tomatoes. This one had cured pork cheek in the sauce. Our server did tell us, but I don't think he heard that part. I was surprised that my husband didn't notice it. I still haven't told him because I'm not sure what he would think of that. Haha! We loved it! At the end, we had our choice of dessert. I think he had the tiramisu, and I selected the apricot mango one. It was a great ending. I also have to say that the Eichhof beer was light & refreshing, as well as the pitcher of naturally infused water. It's the little things that make me happy. There is an extensive wine menu as well. To be honest, I didn't see the rest of the menu. I think it's a daily fixed menu anyway. We were set on either the Pasta or Business (meat) lunch based on recommendations. We're glad we listened. The service was exceptional. Every course was proudly explained. Our server was friendly & professional. The atmosphere was amazing! The only thing you might regret is the price. But, I'm here to tell you that it's like that everywhere in Switzerland. Just get over it, and enjoy the meal. Take that advice for what it's worth. Seek this place out if you happen to be staying in Lucerne. We have no regrets whatsoever.

We had reservations in advance so I'd recommend them on the weekend - it was Easter weekend for us…read more I only imagine this place is just as beautiful when the weather is nicer out. Ambiance is rustic - good for groups of 8 or less or even just two people. Warm and cozy space as if you were at home. It was a set menu with salad/soup, pasta, main and dessert and/or cheese for dinner. I loved the fact that it was family style. So I maybe wouldn't choose this place if you have picky eaters. The salad was fantastic. Loved the dressing. The soup for me was the selling point. We had a root vegetable soup that was aromatic, creamy, a slight kick. The pasta was a Bolognese where I loved the chilis that they added. For the main, they were serving veal on a risotto and carrots. The meat was tender and flavorful. The chocolate mousse was rich, creamy and the creme balanced out the sweetness. Now, my group finished eating and decided we'd come back for lunch a few days later because the menu is never the same. Lunch is a little different with dinner as you can choose either pasta or the business lunch. We opted to do two servings of business lunch and one of the pasta so we could recreate the similar family-esque dinner style. We had a potato soup with salmon bits for lunch. Next was a pesto pasta with garlic and ricotta cheese. Not that the Bolognese wasn't good, but I loved this pasta. So fresh, and the flavors melded so well. We had a beef cut with purple rice and veggies. I loved the Char on this cut of meat. And lastly for dessert, I had panna cotta with a rhubarb compote that was so creamy, not overly sweet and had maybe a twist with a hint of cinnamon? You really can't go wrong here. If I came back to Lucerne, I'd be back here! Service was stellar-we actually had the same waitress for both meal services and was phenomenal. She gave great wine recommendations.

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

Luce Restaurant & Bar is inside the Radisson Blu Hotel near Lake Lucerne. We had the buffet…read morebreakfast there daily during our stay. It's conveniently open at 6:30 am. That's actually the best time to arrive because it does get full. There are groups of people staying there for excursions through Viking and other river cruise lines. Just something to be aware of when staying at the hotel. The breakfast was good. The buffet isn't as expansive as the ones at the Marriott, but what they had was pretty good (but basic). There were scrambled eggs and fried eggs. I eventually learned that the fried eggs that were turned over were cooked all the way through. That's how I like it. Otherwise, it was an over easy egg. They have rice and curry as well. I'm not sure if they are catering this to Asians or Vegetarians. Either way, it's nice to have that option. The bread & cheese were surprisingly good. I especially enjoyed the fresh croissants. There were a few pastries as well. We were happy with the coffee machines. The milk is extra creamy & foamy. There are different sized cups. I usually went with the biggest one and selected the espresso macchiato 3 times to fill it up. It was perfect. There is also a tea station with loose leaf teas, hot water, and little teapots. A very nice touch for those who don't drink coffee. The service was great. The plates were cleared away when needed. The restaurant was clean. There were glass bottles of water available to take to your table. It was a good start to the day.

Still trying to catch up on reviews from this trip…read more.. Luce is the restaurant in the Radisson Blu Hotel in Luzern. The name is actually Luce Restaurant and Bar and it's definitely more of a restaurant than a bar. There is a very nice bar in the hotel lobby but this restaurant is separate from it. So anyway, our meal was excellent. There was a very unique mix of flavors in all the dishes were tried. There were seasonal items for winter with the savory spiced flavors to match. We stared out with some soups, a Pumpkin cream with vanilla foam and a Creamy chestnut with roasted mountain fig and truffle. I was a little skeptical of the Pumpkin soup thinking it would be like eating a dessert but it was savory with just a slight hit of sweet from the vanilla. The Chestnut soup was my favorite of the two. It had a very nice, creamy texture with mellow nuttiness from the chestnuts and bold earthiness from the black truffle. The figs made for a nice sweet hit to this soup as well. Some of the other starters that were ordered were a House salad with roasted chicken, and a Caprese flatbread. The flatbread I thought was excellent. The crust was cracker thin crust and had just enough toppings to not overpower it. It was also quite large and and would be great for sharing. For dinners, we ordered a Ribeye steak, a Fish dish (but I forget what kind of fish it was) and I had the Duo of venison and rabbit. I tried all of them but my favorite was the Duo. Both meats were quite gamey but that was perfect for me. Each was paired with a bold sauce which balanced the flavors out very nicely. Since it was gamey, the others didn't really care for it so more for me anyway. :) For dessert we all had house-made ice cream. They have a fairly large assortment and all the ones we ordered were very rich and creamy. The only downside was that it's pretty pricey but, Switzerland is pretty pricey all around so it was expected. Also want to add, in the mornings this restaurant serves a great buffet breakfast.

The ingredients taste fresh, the meat is of good quality (100% beef) and the veggies are crunchy. Regular and hot sauce available...go for hot! It's tasty, the Kebab at 10.- is well priced and the staff - despite being so busy - is friendly and tries to get the orders to you fast.
