Burgerstube is one of those restaurants that take home-style cooking to a different level altogether. Nestled in the arms of Hotel Wilden Mann in Lucerne, this warm establishment serves authentic Swiss food; the kind that will remind you of wooden chalets, Alpine meadows and the wanderings of Heidi. The presence of German staples is an added delight. Their Rosti, meat loafs, pork sausages and creamy soups are heart-warming and delicious and their wine list is downright impressive. Despite the overwhelming presence of meat, there are several vegetarian names on the menu. There is also a vast selection of luscious desserts and fantastic cheese. You’re in Switzerland, after all!

The ambience of this eatery is cosy with wooden interiors and yellow lights and it is a perfect place to go for a hearty meal on a cold winter’s night. The staff is attentive and amicable and they stand as illustrations of quintessential Swiss hospitality. Burgerstube is pretty inexpensive for a restaurant that serves generous portions of finger-licking food in a city like Lucerne. The beautiful presentation also deserves a mention. Reserve a table and you will not go back home disappointed.
