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, butter, milk …
… fruit juices, tea and coffee to …
… cold cuts, fish dishes, vegetables and fruit …
… but also specialties (cheese, cold cuts and sausages) from the Ueli Hof.
The atmosphere of the place is very nice as you have the chance to sit inside which is nice but also to …
… sit on the terrace where you get quite an amazing view onto the Reuss river as well as onto the symbol of Lucerne – the Kapell bridge.
The service is friendly, dedicated, and does a good job – although you have to be a tiny bit patient in the beginning until they come up to your table asking you for your room number as well as if you want to have a coffee or tea. Overall, I think it is rather fair to have breakfast for CHF 27.00 – so I can even recommend you to have breakfast at the Restaurant Balances at the Hotel des Balances.

I started the blog in October 2009, while living in Milan which I definitely consider to be one of the food capitals of the world. I was in touch with food since my early childhood (as my father is a former chef). Whenever I can, I travel the world to discover new places, to meet people but mostly to try local dishes and to find hidden gems! If you know a place worth going, please drop a line to: info@thediningexperience.org.
Currently, I am a member of the following food-related associations: Chevalier @Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Zurich-Ville; Membre Gourmet Dégustateur @Ordre Mondial des Gourmets Dégustateurs [OMGD]; Gesellschafter @Goldener Fisch and Member @Slowfood Convivium Zurich City.
