Grottino 1313

Top choice in Lucerne


Offering a welcome escape from Lucerne's tourist throngs, this relaxed yet stylish restaurant south of the train station serves 'surprise' menus featuring starters like chestnut soup with figs, creative pasta dishes, meats cooked over an open fire and scrumptious desserts. The herb-fringed front patio is lovely in summer; the candlelit interior exudes sheer cosiness on a chilly evening.
