乡村旅馆 Zollhaus

The fantastic view of Lake Lucerne alone makes it worthwhile coming here, and it's especially enjoyable from the wonderful terrace! But, thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows, you don't have to miss out on the view if you sit inside the modern and elegant restaurant either. Meanwhile, Fabian Inderbitzin's cuisine is no less sought after. In the evening, two set menus, each with a vegetarian counterpart, are created from outstanding produce. The clear structure of the dishes is pleasing. At lunchtime, the "Gourmet Lunch" set menu and a few classics à la carte form a smaller but equally sophist

"Dining at a friend's place" sums the vibe up nicely, and the unique location, for starters, is part of that: The relatively small restaurant is in an apartment on the third floor of a residential and restaurant block. The upscale interior has a modern-minimalist aesthetic feel – art on the walls and a stylish fireplace enhance the visual appeal. The pleasingly intimate feel results not least from the central open kitchen, which means you're right there in the thick of things! Diners are in good hands with chef Christoph Oliver Aebersold and restaurant manager Agron Tunprenkaj – two consummate

The location right by Lake Lucerne is fabulous! This modern bistro shares its premises with the fine dining restaurant and benefits from the same stunning views over the water. Here, too, Fabian Interbitzin and his team are responsible for the food, serving up contemporary French cuisine with the odd Mediterranean influence. The set menu comprises two to six courses, which can also be ordered à la carte. A range of classic dishes is also available. The cuisine is pleasingly accessible without sacrificing elegance.

Wherever you look, there's history – the old fortified tower is magnificent! After 33 years, the business has changed hands, but new owners Lukas and Evelyn Christen are committed to keeping the tradition alive. The menu continues to feature both regional and international dishes. Look out for the label "Guets vo hie" on the menu, which indicates the local specialities such as topside beef carpaccio with horseradish, red onions and fried mushrooms. The courtyard terrace is especially pleasant. Tip: This pretty restaurant also makes an ideal venue for weddings and other celebrations.

With its tasteful blend of historical features and upscale minimalist modern design, this former Capuchin monastery provides a wonderful setting for the restaurant. In the open kitchen, the team champions ingredients from Central Switzerland, supplemented by produce from the Alpine region. The evening features an appealing à la carte selection alongside a four-course "Tavolata" for the whole table, available as a surprise menu or with a main course of your own choice. In summer, the secluded monastery terrace is especially lovely. Breakfast is also served, with a regional "monastery breakfast"

The restaurant of the venerable Grandhotel Giessbach (dating back to 1875) stands right at the foot of the waterfalls of the same name and boasts a wonderful view of the nearby lake, Brienzersee. The tasty food is regional and seasonal, made primarily from produce grown in the hotel's own 2ha vegetable garden. The other ingredients are sourced from local producers and small-scale growers: fish from the lake, veal from a neighbouring farmer. There are also a number of vegetarian options, such as "Giessbach agnolotti, broccoli, hazelnut". In the evening, the "Tour du Domaine" surprise menu for s
