A great establishment in many ways, starting with its central location by Lake Lucerne, on the first floor of the Culture and Congress Centre, commanding fantastic views of the lake and the city. It boasts a stylish and chic interior, which includes an open kitchen. Furthermore, the large front-of-house team is cordial and proficient. And then there's the food: By enlisting Maximilian Huber, previously chef at Munich's mural farmhouse, they have brought in a master at elevating regional cuisine with delicate precision. Close ties to farmers and producers, and the quality of the ingredients play an important role. Just as impressive are the precise technique and balance of flavours – from particularly pronounced contrasts, as in "carrot, kimchi, sea buckthorn, buckwheat", to delicate and full-bodied combinations, as in "Brüggli salmon trout, mountain meadow hay, fennel, elderflower". In the evening, there is a pair of four- to six-course set menus, one of which is vegetarian. At lunchtime, choose between the inexpensive lunch set menu and a small à la carte selection.
