Lucerne is the perfect escape for a recluse and a quintessential tourist hub rolled into one. Emblematic of Switzerland’s hospitality, this city of lights is surpassingly beautiful and delightfully romantic with its lakes, bridges, museums, monuments and castles.

While most people love travelling around Lucerne for the crazy number of sightseeing opportunities it has to offer, they forget the fact that it is quite a bit of a gastronomic paradise. There are fancy restaurants serving unforgettable Swiss food, modest establishments dishing out the best pizza you will ever lay your hands on, dessert cafes that will spoil you with their treats and wine bars that will make sure the party never stops. There is a little bit of something for everyone in the city, both in terms of cuisine and budget. Drawing a list of ten names in an ocean of excellent restaurants is incredibly difficult but these places stand out because of their consistency. Guten Appetit!
