I would not really call this place a bistro per se, it's just a simple pizza and kebab restaurant…read morelocated in the midst of factories. The döner kebab with soft bread (which in fact was not that soft at all) was stuffed with the right amount of kebab and vegetables. They also twisted things up by adding sriracha hot sauce on it which to my surprise tasted really good! But it's like they say, if the food is too simple or just plain - add sriracha sauce! Egerkingen is not very famous for its restaurant and believe it or not this place is pretty okey in comparison to food quality and price. Their English is limited to zero words and they try to communicate with German no matter how much you shake your head. Glad enough gestures and body language worked out fine in the end.

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 prices are okay for Zurich's standards. If you like high-class restaurants like the Rigiblick,…read moreDolder or Mesa, be sure to check out this little gem offering the purest, simplest Michelin-starred dining in all of Zurich. Tobias Buholzer is a very good cook. His plates are relatively simple, but everything is thought through and perfectly executed. The foie gras terrine was wonderful and the main course (luma pork) was the best main course I've ever had, so big and tasty! I'm especially glad to have rediscovered the restaurant, because Chef Buholzer's kitchen offers very good desserts. Here you can enjoy a huge selection of friandises, the kind of selection you'd otherwise only find in ultra-expensive restaurants like the Dolder or Mesa. Very friendly, attentive service led by his wife Sabrina. Be sure to try the chocolate fondant cake made from luxurious Felchlin couverture from Bolivia. And bring enough time to truly savour every bite. More restaurant reviews and photo reports: http://www.dessertblog.ch
