Colonnade

★★ Michelin€€€€french

Dating back to 1906, the Mandarin Oriental, situated on the lakeshore, is certainly a stylish setting in which to dine. This restaurant exudes the charm of yesteryear with contemporary elegance. With wonderful Art Nouveau light fittings hanging from the high ceiling, striking marble columns and an almost floor-to-ceiling glazed wine cabinet, the interior is a sight to behold. Chef Gilad Peled and his enthusiastic team showcase their modern take on French cuisine – take, for example, the sweetbreads with peas, asparagus, morels and wild garlic. There are two tasting menus, which can comprise th

Maihöfli by UniQuisine

★ Michelin€€€Creative, Innovative

Chef Robert Steuri heads up the kitchen of this lovely restaurant at a remove from the city centre. In the evening, he and his dedicated team showcase precise craftsmanship and top-notch ingredients in two five- or seven-course set menus, one of which is vegan. A marriage of elegance and bold flavours, the dishes are carefully composed and thoughtfully balanced – intricate without ever feeling overworked. A fine example is the duck with red cabbage, chestnut and orange. At lunchtime, the set menu is shorter, comprising three or four courses. Diners enjoy professional and well-attuned service i

Minamo

★ Michelin€€€€japanese

This restaurant with a counter-dining concept brings a slice of Japan to the exclusive Mandarin Oriental, with its pared-back Far Eastern decor and an eight-course traditional Japanese omakase menu served to all diners at the same time. From your comfortable seat at the counter, you can watch, for example, as various nigiri are prepared before your eyes. The accompanying sake pairing is particularly enticing. And don't hesitate to ask any burning questions you may have – the chef and the competent front-of-house team will gladly provide answers and do their best to make your evening enjoyable.

Restaurant Olivo

€€€italian

Its Belle Epoque style lends this restaurant on the first floor of the Grand Casino a distinct elegance and charm that hark back to a bygone era. Under a high ceiling with moulding and chandeliers, Mediterranean-inspired cuisine is served in the form of a set menu or à la carte. The "Dinner & Casino" packages are also worth mentioning. Fabulous balcony terrace with lake and mountain views. Tip: Park in the casino garage.

TripAdvisor review sample · 4.8/5 · 80 reviews

Restaurant Olivo in Lucerne boasts an impressive 4.8/5 average rating based on extensive feedback. Guests consistently praise the high food quality, professional and attentive service, and pleasant atmosphere, with specific mentions of the outdoor seating and wine selection. However, some negative reviews highlight concerns regarding portion sizes, value for money, and occasional service delays or disorganized reservations.

Ideal for diners prioritizing food quality and service over portion size and price.

The location right next to an art gallery (from which you also have direct access to the restaurant) could not be more fitting, as the theme of creativity is omnipresent here in the restaurant, too. The chic, modern interior is all curved lines, with the relief of the original ceiling as its centrepiece! Pale tones and the sleek design of the tables and chairs lend a Nordic feel. All of the activity in the open kitchen can be followed by diners – in the evening, a tasting menu comprising three, five or seven courses is created here. Served at lunchtime, the three-course "Chef's Mood Menu" chan
