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 […]
21. November 2013: Restaurant Café de Ville
The “Clubsandwich ‘Beefburger’ made of Swiss beef, toast, salad, mayo, ketchup and onions with home-made French fries” (CHF 23.00) was a bit a hearty breakfast but also quite fine. The beef is juicy, the sauce for the sandwich tasty – only the French fries were not entirely satisfying: they were somehow not crunchy enough for […]
22. August 2013: Restaurant Opus
As always, I was quite satisfied with the offer at the Restaurant Opus – the food is definitely very tasty and the place is – as always quite nice as it is located right next to the Reuss river in Lucerne. I only went for dessert as I already had eaten that evening but the […]
22. December 2012: Restaurant Mövenpick Kantonalbank
The chicken wings all you can eat (spicy & tasty with Sambal Oelek, lemon, herbs, olive oil; CHF 24.50) were very delicious. The chicken was juicy and the spices in which the chicken were coated were outstanding. Very simple but great food. The prices are very fair – for the food as well as for […]
27. October 2012: Restaurant Brasserie Flora
Hearty and typical Swiss food – pretty average. Starting with a mixed salad with croûtons and homemade sauce which was rather simple but tasty. As a main course something very typical was served – “Geschnetzeltes Zürcher Art” with a mushroom sauce. The meat was quite chewy and not really tasty. The mushrooms were definitely not […]
