We split the Luzern pretzel and sausage, Luzern sausage and sauerkraut, and the plate of rosti, gravy, and another sausage. Every sausage was different in flavor and size. The pretzel, mustard, rosti, and gravy were delicious. The lager and amber beers were smooth and light. We also had the Guinness brownie and ice cream for dessert. Overall, this was a wonderful and delicious experience!

    We stumbled on the Rathaus Brauerei purely by luck, since it was near our hotel. It was a weeknight…read moreand they kindly squeezed us in between reservations. We sat inside for dinner on our first visit, and came back again for lunch outside the next day. The atmosphere at the Rathaus is warm and typically Swiss, and its views of the Luzern waterfront and Kapellbrücke can't be beat. The food is excellent, from lighter fare like sandwiches on pretzels to more traditional dishes like white sausage with mustard. My brother-in-law ordered two different beers, and said they were the best he's ever had in his life. The most lasting memory for us, however, was our absolutely amazing server on our second visit. She was warm, friendly, funny, and spoke excellent English, giving us tips and recommendations for our Luzern stay. We even shared hugs on our final visit. Don't miss the Rathaus Brauerei--it remains a highlight of our wonderful stay in Switzerland!

    Yelp Review 2026 #106:…read more Restaurant Fritschi has been around since the 1600s. They serve traditional Swiss food. Fondue, raclette, schnitzel, rosti, etc. A lot of people would have their picture taken in front of this restaurant whether they eat/ ate here or not. Rindgeschnetzeltes Stroganoff mit Nudeln, Peperoni Champignons und Essiggurken: Sliced beef stroganoff with pasta, pepperoni, mushrooms, and pickles. The "pepperoni" in Europe means peppers. No actual pepperoni came with this dish. LOL. Stroganoff with a little kick. They could've added a bit more beef though. 3/5 Fritschi Pastetli: Fritschi puff-pastry from a very old house recipe. They had 3 menu items that are house specialties so, I wanted to give one of them a try and I picked this. I Googled what Fritschi Pastetli before coming here. Puff pastry pie - I can eat that. You can taste the alcohol. The puff pastry was nice but overall the dish was salty and again, not enough meat. 3/5 A lot of people complained about the service here on review sites but our server was great. The artwork, the old furnitures give it character. The food was mediocre.

    This place seems to be very popular with locals. We came for a very early dinner (around 4:30) and…read moresaw that most of the tables had reservation cards, so it was likely fully booked for the evening. We had the Tajine Kefta with fries and a small Mezze plate with Hummus, Baba Ganoush, Falafel, and Taboulé. The Kefta was moist with a loose texture. It was a little bit spicy and had generous amount of tomato sauce. The hummus and falafel were the weaker of the two mezze items. The hummus is a bit chunky (not super smooth or fluffy). The falafel came with Tzaziki (super creamy and very garlicy). They had good texture, but not super crunchy and crispy on the outside. The Baba Ganoush was really flavorful, deep, fresh, with good texture (smooth with some chunks of eggplant). The taboule was also really fresh tasting and moist. The service here was also notably great. Servers were super helpful and kind. Their bathroom was also quite nice.

    Ok. We went there tonight. Read the reviews. Bluntly. You must not have many restaurants that can…read moreserve similar cuisine. I had the Kafka dish, basically lacking in spices and really with a tomato sauce would have been something a college student could have made for ten dollars for four people! My wife ordered vegetable couscous. Couscous( dry) with some sticks of carrots and zucchini. Keep in mind, we have to pay $34 CDN for EACH of these meals. If it wasn't for the beer and the feel to the place....1/2 a star would have been it. Ps. The bar was busy! Yes. I've downgraded to one star. The important part. My Kafka dish was not made fresh or had been sitting so long that it started to have the fat congeal. When I took the fancy cover off my dish when it arrived...a skin had formed over the whole dish and the edges had solid fat forming.
