The place: minutes of walk from ARBON station and also lake side. This restaurant is a hidden gem…read more20 minutes direct bus ride from St Gallen and 1 hour train ride from busy Zurich. The food: the chef is definitely a magician of ingredients and presentation. I had my best risotto ever. The arugula added very exquisite taste to the risotto, and the lobster tail and scallops were very fresh. I also had the soup it was fantastic as well. I didn't know it's a Michelin star restaurant until I read the other review here, and I found it's true. From my Michelin restaurant experiences I think one star is very humble. Definitely should go there if you ever close to the area. There's peaceful and beautiful lake and this gourmet place to enjoy the food of the day. Especially for Americans, don't miss this gem, you know what I meant!

We traveled 100 kilometres by car and it was totally worth it. Go there if you're ever near St…read more Gallen or the Bodensee, it's the best restaurant in the area. He got 17 Gault Millau points and a Michelin star because of his light Swiss cuisine that effortlessly integrates Asian elements and spices into it, without becoming a fusion or Eurasian cuisine. The amuse bouches were delicious, but the non-pastry highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the luxurious foie gras variation, the best of its kind. They offer a six-course gourmet menu for just CHF 140.-, great value for money. Be careful: You'll feel VERY full afterwards! The restaurant offers the best classic Swiss desserts I've had so far. What would be boring and lazy in other restaurants is made fascinating by the amount of love and attention put into the desserts. Marc Hohl, chef August Minikus' sous-chef, makes a cream parfait with figs in a spicy red wine jus that are just to die for! And their vanilla ice cream is the best in the country. Nothing comes close, not even Martin Surbecks famed vanilla ice cream. Very friendly service, supervised by the chef's lovely wife.

Ksanet, Bianka and Rui were amazing in their own rights and definitely were humans first and Lumiere employees second and forth. Not only did they serve us but gave us a few moments from their tight schedules to walk us through about how we could make use of a Sunday ( Switzerland for the most part is closed on Sunday's and we were not prepared for that :( ). These folks had some amazing suggestions to make through and through and helped us a lot with our questions about Switzerland and travels in general. The ambiance was stunning and the place was packed and had moderate amount of noise in there attributing to the conversations. The interiors were pretty amazing and well thought out and depicted the history of Lumiere. We ordered a side salad, octopus with sliced potatoes, tuna tartare on avocado bed and for dessert we got ourselves the lime tart. The octopus dish was outstanding just like the tuna tartare where we enjoyed every bite slowly. The salad was put together very well and the dessert topped it all off to call it an evening. This place definitely should definitely be in your list to visit in Zurich and given its proximity to Zurich HB it's an easy decision to make ( even if you had to come out of your way to grab a bite here it will be so well worth it).

Mmmmm.... Their Filet de bœuf au poivre is so yummy. Nice French brasserie atmosphere with friendly…read morestaff. A nice pick in Zurich.
