I went there one evening with three other gourmets. The restaurant was recommended to us by a former member of the Swiss national culinary team and their pictures on Facebook looked promising.
The kitchen showed a great deal of technical skill that evening. The food was very, very tasty and we ate several dishes which were simply unforgettable. Stephane Wirth, who is in charge of the cuisine together with his wife Nadja Schuler, created a perfect terrine of foie gras for us. It was served en bloc and was one of the three best-tasting terrines I've ever eaten. You'll be getting decent portions for a gourmet restaurant, especially à la carte, like our Angus beef filet main courses that were big, dense dishes packed with flavour.
They employ pastry Christian Mott. His desserts made all of us very happy. His technically flawless creme brulée compositions and basil granité served with lime espuma were the two biggest highlights of his desserts. He also managed to meet the biggest challenge of the evening, namely creating a giant dessert variation for CHF 30.- without being warned in advance. Great ice cream and sorbets and a nice selection of friandises.
The restaurant has become quite popular, not just because of the excellent food. The location is unique and no other restaurant in Lucerne is as beautifully situated. They offer a romantic little love garden with roses, a beautiful view and a rose-themed dining room in case the weather plays up.
Highly recommended! read more
