A truly unique Italian experience where you wouldn’t expect it: Restaurant Grottino 1313 (16. August 2017)
Probably for more than three years I was trying to pay the Restaurant Grottino 1313 a visit but never actually made it. Finally, it was time to do so. When the weather is nice, you’re seated in a small but lovely decorated garden and shortly after you’ve taken your seat, you are served “salame and […]
Great for a brief snack: Restaurant Peperoncini (16. August 2017)
Sometimes, things happen out of a ‘pure need’. This time for example, I haven’t been eating anything the whole day until 2pm and before I was able to get to the next appointment, I desperately had to eat something so I ended up in the Peperoncini as it was close to my next appointment. And […]
Little café with limited attention in service: Bäckerei Hänggi (1. April 2017)
The Bäckerei Hänggi is completely packed on a Saturday morning – there are absolutely no tables free until you are ready to wait for a bit. When I finally scored a table, I was attended quite quickly and my “Mint Tea” (CHF 4.50) was served within minutes. However, after that, the attention of the waiters […]
Great place to relax between shopping trips: Magazine zum Globus (1. April 2017)
The restaurant on the top floor of the Globus in Lucerne is a rather simple place with regards to its interior but it is also perfect to flee from the stressed Saturday shoppers and enjoy a “double espresso” (CHF 6.00) and a “croissant” (CHF 1.50). CHF 6.00 for a double espresso in Lucerne seems a […]
7. December 2014: Restaurant Baccara
I was expecting absolutely nothing when the waitress talked about the “seasonal house drink” – especially because I am not a big fan of champagne. However, the “champagne with an orange ginger bread espuma” (CHF 13.00) was surprisingly good; mostly due to the espuma though and not so much because of the champagne. The “lamb’s […]
19. September 2014: 7th HSG Alumni Conference Gala Dinner @ KKL Lucerne
The gala dinner of the 7th HSG Alumni Conference was hosted in the KKL Lucerne and served by their catering. Before talking about the food, it has to be mentioned that approx. 400 guests had to be served at the same time. The dinner started with a “marinaded turbot carpaccio with mango, grapefruit, avocado, frisée […]
18. September 2014: Restaurant Balances @ Hotel des Balances
The breakfast buffet at the Hotel des Balances in Lucerne is pretty unique – at least in the way they serve the respective dishes. Everything is put on tiny plates and you just get to select various plates in order to enjoy your breakfast experience. The selection ranges from rather regular elements like jams, honey, […]
5. January 2014: Restaurant Lapin @ Hotel De la Paix
The Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Bailliage de Lucerne lunch (CHF 56.00) started with three different amuse bouches – tuna tartare, chicken breast mousse and chicken wings with hot dip which were all fine – my personal favourite were the chicken wings though as they were nicely crunchy and at the same time the sauce provided it […]
