Fantastic cheese shop in the heart of Lucerne. The shop offers a wide selection of cheeses and…read moreother goods to choose from. The man behind the counter was kind, super helpful and very knowledgeable about cheese. He let me sample a variety of cheese before purchasing, and was very patient as I decided. When I told him I was traveling over seas, he vacuum packed the cheese to ensure it's freshness. The cheese itself was delicious and maintained it's freshness after I purchased it. Note that you're unable eat inside, but there are some picnic tables outside.

Yelp Review 2026 #96:…read more I went to Laderach in different cities everyday while I was in Switzerland. This location is in Luzern Bahnhof and it's actually better than the location in Zürich Bahnhof. They have more selections here. There were two Frisch schoggi kinds I was trying to get but didn't find while in Zürich: Dubai chocolate, and vegan cashew. My favorite Frisch schoggi slabs I get all the time are vegan cashew (tastes and melts just like regular chocolate), hazelnut, and cornflakes. Add their Dubai chocolate to that list - you won't find it at all Laderach locations though. They have limited/ seasonal Frisch schoggi. In May, they had banana split. It's delicious so, I got a slab of that too. I got some truffles and mini mousses. I grabbed individually-wrapped chocolates for my friends. On my first day in Luzern, I went to this location twice. I first came here in the morning before going to the hotel. I was minding my own business taking pictures of the chocolates. The employee behind the counter was like "don't a picture of me". Girl, I have no reason to take your picture! I left. I came back in the afternoon for my chocolate break and that employee wasn't there anymore. I took pictures and the afternoon shift employee wasn't giving me samples left and right and was super nice and helpful. So, I bought chocolates from her.

Yelp Review 2026 #109:…read more Max Chocolatier is one of my favorites. They started here in Luzern so, I had to grab more chocolates here. This is a much bigger store than the one in Zurich. They have two employees here and they both will take their time for each customer in the store. Clearly, they want everyone to have the best and most focused experience while in the store and I appreciate that so much. It shows how much they care about the product even though the product speak for themselves. They'll give you free samples of whatever you want to try. They recommended their mate (South. American drink) truffle which I would not try on my own and I'm glad they did because I absolutely loved it and bought some. I had a clear plan on what I want to get from here: a box of passionfruit dragee, a box of pralines and a few truffles. I like how they put the truffles in a box. Most chocolatiers don't have boxes for when you pick your own truffles. You can pick a message tag for your chocolate boxes. There's many to choose from - in English, German and French. Since all the boxes I bought are for me and my sister, I picked message tags that resonated with me such as "I love dich". They also have blank tags if you want to write your own message. They have a coffee kiosk on front but it closes earlier than the store. They have espresso, cortado, cappuccino, latte, matcha, hot chocolate, etc. If you have time and want to create your own chocolate bar, go to their studio across the lake. You have to book your appointment though and prepay.

We did not find this small, family owned shop online, but did during one of our daily walks. It was by far the best that we found in Lucerne, including Bachman's, which is everywhere. Both Hugo and Margrit were very accomodating, though we only speak English, we felt welcomed, and were never rushed to choose. They took the time to answer our questions, and took an interest in us as well. We bought 2 different pastries daily, and split them, just so we could try something new and delicious every day. The pastry was light, the fillings were scrumptious. We took some chocolates home with us, again a variety, and of course they were delicious. I would recommend any visiting or living locally to give them a try.

Pasta done right!…read more Since this restaurant was a suggestion from my Tour Director on my trip to Switzerland, I figured, what the hell? It is pasta, and Switzerland borders Italy, a country highly associated with pasta. What did I have to lose? I ordered the ravioli because it was highly suggested by the wait staff and it is everything you would expect in a homemade ravioli dish. Expensive? Sure. But you get what you pay for here. The meat special works best because you get some delicious ham with all of it, and it is already a generous portion. It was such a lovely meal that I thanked the staff for making it. Well done!
