    One of the top meals we had on the trip...and we have been having excellent meals. We still talk about this meal and I highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Lucerne. Started off with the appetizer size of the puff pastry with cream sauce, Lucerne style. This is also offered as a main if you prefer, but the menu is packed with delicious dishes. We also had a plate of the dried meats, Swiss style, which we polished off quickly. The beef stroganoff was lovely, not at all like the beef stroganoff I was familiar with from the US (with a gravy/creamy sort of sauce). This dish was also very quickly polished off and we actually ordered another main! This time we opted for the sliced veal with rostï and that was just as divine. Topped everything off with a little caramel flan. If I had stayed one more night in Lucerne, I would've gone back here to try more of their dishes. There's a reason they've been around for so long! The staff was so lovely and it was nice to see a lot of locals eating dinner there as well.

    Mushroom appetizer

    Was incredible. Super friendly local spot. Warm traditional dishes and good wine. One of my favorite meals in Lucerne. We had the mushroom appetizer, beef stroganoff, bread veal with crème sauce and spaetzle (not sure of spelling), apple streusel, and caramel custard.

    I arrived before 9pm on a Friday and kitchen was already closed. This is absolutrly ridiculous! There were plenty of customers eating as well as empty seats, and I could have finished eating before many other customera, but I guess the staff is too lazy.

    I went there with my family in a. Attempt to try authentic Swiss food. This place is the right choice. The atmosphere is cozy and has the locals feel to it but there were some tourists like us. We do not eat pork but we still found veal options. The shell Pastry with mushroom sauce is a must try for authentic Swiss food. We got it with veal for me and also with vegetables for my daughter. For side item I suggest the rosti potatoes which are close to hash browns Swiss style. Yummy! The creamy mushroom sauce on flaky shell pastry is amazing!Great meal! My wife got the veal thin sliced place with groti and it was tasty. One son got the veal sausage and groti and the other got the kids spaghetti which is ok. The waitress was nice and tried to describe each plate in English as the menu was in Herman only. Prices of items we go ok per Swiss standards. There were many more pricy items. Overall was a pleasant experience.

    Wonderful restaurant off the touristy section of the city. Historically attractive serving regional cuisine. Would definitely recommend!

    A must for people who are skeptical about Swiss gastronomy. If you try it here for the first time, you'll surely love it.

    Nice restaurant and a little pricey. The wine was paired nicely with the menu. The menu is fixed so…read moreno choice of your meal... but I knew that going in

    This was our last day in Switzerland, and we called them believing we might get lucky with a table…read morelast minute and we did, that was a wonderful surprise. The restaurant appears small from the outside, when inside its a nice size with an outdoor patio overlooking the river, a little too cold to use that day. Completely packed when we arrived around 8:15pm and we could see there was absolutely no space for even one more person. Away from the tourist crowd, very traditional, family at dinner style environment and very loud. We loved it. Menu was a fixed 4 course dinner that changes every day I assume, so everyone was basically having the exact same meal. We knew this before we came and had made sure we would be ok with the fixed menu items when we had called for reservations, I would highly recommend doing this if there are any picky food eaters in the group. The owner was there doing a lot of the work himself and that was great to see. Each of the courses were very well done, tuna on toast, salad, pasta (veal?) bolognese, seared tuna, desert. Salad was super fresh, pasta was perfectly el dente and sauce was tasty, tuna was perfectly seared. Did you notice anything missing here? The creativity element was not there, each of the dishes was too simple, and I was expecting a lot more on that front given the awesome ratings. One star taken off for that. Given the menu probably changes everyday, I am hopeful this is not the case on a daily basis. I would recommend this restaurant to those who are ok with the fixed menu style and who want to be surprised on the day, if not call ahead and confirm whats for dinner and the price before coming.
