    Restaurant Parterre looks more like a dive bar. It doesn't look like a place you'd expect good food, but that's exactly what we got. My boyfriend and I came in at around 9 or so for a late dinner. He ordered the Venison (served with spätzle, and brussel sprouts, 23.50 Fr). I don't remember if I liked the deer or not, but I probably didn't care for it. That's also because I'm not normally a fan of the gamier meats. I did like the spätzle though, especially with the sauce that came with my dish. I ordered the Tagliatelle (served with chicken breast in a saffron-cream sauce, 19.50 Fr). I really enjoyed it. The pasta was cooked to the perfect consistency, the chicken wasn't dry, and the sauce was flavorful. I really couldn't find anything wrong with this dish. For Switzerland, this place was pretty reasonably priced. Plus, they gave some pretty big portions. Would definitely recommend this place (although I read that they're renovating as of October 2017).

    Food was delicious and service staff was very attentive. There weren't English menu available, but the staff was patient and helped us with detailed explanation in English. Ambience of the restaurant was superb too!

    Salami panino served hot,  and a cold beer

    We came in hoping for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and were told they were serving brunch. As we had not eaten that day, and it was about 2pm, we decided food, was food and had a seat. This is a very cute little restaurant. One group was sipping wine while playing a game of cards. Another group, two couples and a baby. A third group of male friends laughing and enjoying the day. Clearly a spot the locals visit. I opted for Eggs Benedict while my Fave got a salami panini. The panini was served hot and perhaps a bit over heated as the outside was quite brown. It was tasty, but not enough to fill to make a meal. My egg was absolutely, perfectly poached. The sauce was a bit salty and it was served on a piece of white toast. For me it was a good size. I ordered a tea, and did not specify I wanted anything with it, so it came 'black' with a small piece of Swiss chocolate on the side. The staff here were quite nice and if we weren't wanting to get out and see the city, this would have been a great place to hang out.

    Make sure you bring cash, but then come in and enjoy the awesome food and beer!

    This is a great local place where very few tourists hang out. The service is fantastic, the food is great and they have an English menu available. Be warned, they DO NOT accept credit cards. Make sure you stop at an ATM machine before coming here.

    Nice laid-back atmosphere at lunch time

    After a long walk in Luzern in rainy and cold weather, I discovered this spot in the trendy neighbourhood Neustadt... the perfect place for warming up and eating at lunch surrounded by locals! The place has a very cool alternative/vintage vibe. It's both a local eatery and a spot for watching sport, have a drink, go on internet, shop in the cool vintage shop next door, listen to music in the lounge room or make a private party. Each day they propose 2 menus respectively at 15,5 CHF (12 EUR) and 18,5 CHF (14,5 EUR), which include a warm dish such as risotto, veggie meal, etc., and salad, soup, coffee. The portion are generous and fairly priced for the expensive Switzerland. They also have a selection à la carte of soups, paninis, pasta, fajitas, salads. I got the Kürbissuppe which came with bread, and a capuccino. They also serve you a free glass of water. The atmosphere is very laid-off, people, students, family with kids mixing very nicely, smiling back at you if you do so. It's very cool for eating solo, since you have free wifi and you can sit on the big communal table along with the other people. Just keep in mind that the menu is only in german, and they don't accept credit card, so cash is mandatory.

    Deer with Potato pumpkin dish. (Big serving for a 230 pound guy like me!)

    As a student visiting Lucerne, I can very much say that this is one of the only restaurants that fit my budget, and for very appropriate reasons! Parterre really has a great ambience. They have a few staff members during Sunday night but they're always friendly and hand you an english menu without delay. First off, the food is delicious. Second, the servings are fairly big. I got full eating the Deer with Potato with pumpkin mix. It was very creamy, tender and juicy. At the same time, the potato with pumpkin mix was a great side to the already delicious deer. For 23.50 Francs, the size and taste of the deer dish are definitely worth it! Would definitely come back!!!

    Asparagus soup
    Phoenix Y.

    The service is fabulous. Friendly staff, spacious environment, reasonable price and excellent food in appropriate portion. English menu is available. Water is served even we did not ask for, plus it is free of charge. I had very bad experience at other restaurants during my stay in Lucerne and I thought I would never have a good dining experience there. This place definitely changes my impression of the town. I will dine at this restaurant again for sure. Highly recommended to everyone who is visiting Lucerne!!!

    This place rocks. Super friendly. Good service. Has English menu available. Staff spoke English. Venison was delicious. Well priced compared to other restaurants. Absolutely go here if your a tourist and want something that is great and regional cuisine.

    Asparagus wrapped in bacon and hollandaise sauce

    ordered asparagus wrapped with bacon and hollandaise sauce, sounded better than it looked and tasted. The food and drinks were served quickly. But the staff was a bit rude when we asked (in German) if they could help to call a taxi as we were tourists and from outside of Switzerland (hence roaming is expensive), she did call a taxi for us but was not so happy

    Pork steak with asparagus, so delicious!
    Elliott B.

    After a long day of sightseeing and walking in Luzern we decided to come here for dinner. We originally thought we'd just eat somewhere lakeside, but it's a bit pricey and nothing sounded that great. So, we looked on yelp and find this place. It is a little off from the city center, by not too far and it turned out to be a great choice! They have English menus and service is very friendly. Also, it has a great relaxed vibe which was a nice change of pace after dealing with the crowds. Oh, and the food was AMAZING!! We had the grilled pork steak with asparagus and the special that day. Both were very good, my fiance and I both agreed it was the best food we've had so far in Switzerland and it was a very reasonable price! Do yourself a favor and come here if you're hungry :)

    I ordered the fish and chips. The fish is fishy. I end up only eating the chips. The food menu has very limited options.

    An upscale and hip burger and wing spot in the center of a European city, what's not to love?!…read more We popped in as our last meal in Switzerland and were extremely grateful for the staff to allow us to eat even though we didn't have a reservation. (Note: make a reservation if you dream of eating here) After looking through the menu we started with the house-flavored wings and LOVED them. In fact, my wife thought they were some of the best she's ever had! We then both had burgers and shared fries. The portions are very well-sized and I don't think you'll leave hungry. The flavor and food quality helps with that aspect as well - both are top notch! The ambiance is super chill while maintaining an upscale fit and finish. On a nice day you could even eat outside at their tables, would be a wonderful treat given the little square it borders. A word of caution: prices are at a premium (even for Switzerland). I'm a fan of Wolf and couldn't recommend it enough for lunch or dinner. Get a reservation for tomorrow and thank me later.

    A good burger place in the city with a nice little park right beside the outdoor seating. The…read moreservice was good and friendly. We had one burger and one chicken sandwich. The sandwiches are fair size and come with all the fixings you want or plain if that's your thing. Both had good flavor and were cooked just right. They are also a brewery. I had the in house Wolf Beer pale. It had good body and went down easy.
