Hofgarten in Luzern

Hotel restaurant with a beautiful large terrace. Cozy and tasteful furnishings. Creative dishes and also classic dishes on the menu. The poached egg with cauliflower cream starter was interesting and tasty. The tartare was well seasoned and a large portion. The service friendly and attentive.

Excellent food, especially the tartar Professional and friendly service, high recommended

Food is very good. Attentive and friendly service team.

Attentive service, good food. Price/performance is right

Attentive and very friendly staff, small but very nice menu. Open kitchen. Good wine advice. Price performance is right. Everything freshly prepared. The atmosphere was a bit cool, but the staff skillfully warmed it up with blankets. Gladly again.

Very friendly service, very attentive. He points out to us that there is a slight draft of cold air near the windows. Great menu and served hot. The egg cooked using the Onsen method is excellent, and beetroot risotto with arctic char is very good. Wine list with prices not too excessive. Good choice

Really excellent dinner at the end of 2023! Thank you for your kindness in modifying the dishes for my partner who is celiac (gluten free).

Really nice place, the waiters were really nice and helpful. We had the daily menu, it was a nice choice. It had a reasonable price on the nivel of Switzerland, in Coop wouldn't be much cheaper to have a nice meal. The ambient of the place were also nice.

Beautiful card, does what it promises, solid craftsmanship in the most positive sense. Friendly but never intrusive, definitely inexpensive. Thank you for the lovely evening! What could be nicer than leaving a restaurant at the end with a satisfied smile.

The tagessuppe (soup of the day) was amazing. The vegetables with the ham entry were interesting: a cross between broccoli and cauliflower!

Excellent location, terrific food, extremely friendly staff. One of the best places allover Lucerne. 10/10

This is the most satisfying restaurant on my trip to Switzerland!! I tried the breakfast at the hotel, and felt something special about the fried eggs, so I made a reservation for lunch that day. There is a daily/seasonal menu and prices are similar to other restaurants in Switzerland. Today's menu was about 24 francs for the main dish. The staff are really friendly and the outdoor seating atmosphere is great. Today's menu was only in German, so he explained everything and took a family photo first. You can check the menu by going to the restaurant's website, so it would be nice to see it in advance. I ordered lamb, sea bass, tuna tataki, mango avocado salad, gazpacho, and dessert. The sauces were all so unique and delicious, and the meat was tender and the best!!! I would especially like to recommend the fish dish and tuna tataki haha. This is a restaurant I recommend when you want to try something different, and although it wasn't fully booked, I think it would be a good idea to make a reservation.

First night in Lucern! What an awesome location and the food was very good. The pretzel sandwiches were fresh and good. I had the sausage with potato salad . Yum I would go back.

Food = top Service = top Ambience = great We left the Hofgarten very satisfied and can only recommend it.

Excellent food and great service. It is a very popular restaurant.

Very fine food and super nice service. Gladly again.

If you are looking for perfection, the distance to get there is only a touch away in this restaurant. Extremely courteous and attentive staff are combined with a beautiful ambience, open kitchen and crowned with an exquisite meal. The creative composition of the dishes, perfect cooking points and a good selection of different wines make the menu a delight. Sounds too exuberant - no, it's not. At the end there is the boring joke: Here too, price and performance match very well. So; You should definitely combine a visit to Lucerne with an evening in the Hofgarten.

Excellent restaurant with Swiss cuisine which surprised me with its value for money. Impeccable service and very friendly and helpful staff.

Very nice and the staff knows everything about celiac disease. There was even a separate card showing what was gluten free. I was also shown what was glute-free for dessert. Also that all contamination is excluded. Highly recommended and fine food.

Beautiful courtyard, friendly service and good food

Wow! Michelin quality. The chef clearly knows how to take seasonal produce and develop bespoke dishes to feature the best. We had very thin ricotta ravioli with asparagus and green onion; a beef filet from a local farmer with a wonderful cauliflower purée and saffron risotto (which perhaps could have had a little more saffron taste), and an extraordinary passion fruit creme brûlée with sesame mango salad and Thai basil ice cream. The setting is a beautiful outdoor garden with leafy trees and lush bushes, accented by wild strawberry plants placed on each table. Service was excellent and the chef, trained at the Zurich Savoy, clearly knows what he is doing. And, all at very reasonable prices. We will be back!

Incredibly good food and very very family friendly!! C’est three bonnes pour les families et manger !!

Nice hotel residing in a classic building, in a great location, just in the center of Lucerne. The single room is not very big, but still gives a good value for the money. The staff is very polite and helpful. There are completely free mineral (still/sparkling) water bottles at the reception at all times. There's also a nice restaurant onsite. The only thing I didn't like was the lack of a power outlet near the bed in the single room I stayed in.

Great environment and food. Very courteous staff. Top

It was a pleasure! The service and the quality of the food were very good. The dessert was the highlight. Always happy again :)!

A great place to eat fine! The staff is courteous, friendly and very attentive. The food was simply great??

Very good lunch with freshly prepared dishes. Very friendly service. Day ticket prices are fair. The visit is worthwhile and recommended.

Very good cheap food. Friendly service. Would love to come back

A very nice evening. Friendly service, a cozy atmosphere with an open kitchen and high-quality food. Thank you

My favorite restaurant in Lucerne! ❤️

This is the first restaurant I have ever tried to visit who charges money to bring your dog in. Just to be clear, I did not dine here. I called to make a reservation and asked them if they accept a 4kg dog. I would have absolutely understood if they told me that they have a 'no dog' policy. But what I never expected is being told that I can bring the dog but I will be charged CHF15 (15 Euro) just so that the dog can enter the restaurant. .... just when I began to think that I have seen them all.

Food is clean 10! Very friendly service! We stayed in the hotel and came for dinner every night because we didn't have to look for other restaurants! Praise :)

Duck was 🔥 and the red cabbage salad was very refreshing 🥰

We sat in the winter garden near the stairs down to the toilet. This was difficult to manage for people with limited mobility. Ambience otherwise was right. Service very good. The Christmas menu and alternatives were OK but not great. Prices are a bit too high for what is offered

Very nice and cozy restaurant near the centre of Luzern. Atmosphere is very nice and cozy ! Lovely wine selection ! Staff is very very friendly and attentive. Food was Delicious and with a unique touch ! Recommended !

Perfect service and beautifully soft sea bass with crispy skin - that is hard to do! Excellent bread to main course. I am v hard to please they are v good at what they do!

Excellent food in an appealing ambience (Stübli) with great, friendly and personable service. The new menu offers a varied selection with delicious combinations. A clear recommendation from our side & thank you very much!

Always good for dinner... Varied menu that is adjusted seasonally. Super Service

A warm welcome. My car was taken from the distant parking lot in the rain and put in the garage and in the morning after the great breakfast buffet it was put back in front of the exit ready to go, so that I was with my customers at the time. The seasonal dinner was excellent and the extremely attentive staff read my every wish. Professional staff who acted with passion and even the service staff who weren't responsible for my table knew what I had and wanted. The hotelier took time for me and explained to me how he works and why he has such good staff. I lift my hat, I travel to a lot of hotels for work reasons, but one like this is rare! This will be my first hotel in Lucerne and my next stay is already booked, I'm looking forward to my time in the Hofgarten 🙃

Courteous service, fine food, everything perfect

I was there for lunch with a small group. The food and service were very good. Unfortunately I had to leave early because you could only park the car for an hour.

Food is awesome! My 4th day in Switzerland and I almost lost faith in Swiss food until I stepped into this restaurant. 5 star for sure.

Great restaurant where we always enjoy coming to enjoy fine food. The menus are varied, taste excellent and are also a feast for the eyes! The service is very friendly

Good menu and offers excellent Swiss wine also. Staff very friendly and accommodating

Such a nice, quiet place, even though it's central you don't hear much of the noise in the courtyard. The prices are right and the food is great. Gladly again

My absolute favorite restaurant in Lucerne! The menu is small but nice with seasonal delicacies. Great for meat lovers as well as vegetarians. The atmosphere inside and outside is wonderful. And then everything is rounded off with super nice, friendly, professional, attentive and funny staff. An absolute MUST GO! :)

Very nice internal garden, good food, normal prices and very friendly staff.

Beautiful courtyard garden for eating Drussen. Nice kitchen!

Delicious food and good ambience. Staff very attentive and professional.

We had a delicious meal in a quiet, cozy atmosphere and drank a good glass of red wine

Friendly, nice staff, good daily menu, nice place with quick terrace

Good cuisine and friendly staff. I would happily recommend it!

Very nice staff, finely prepared meals. Come back.......

Very pretty place not too far from the lake....while being a little set back... Pretty terrace in summer

Fantastic cuisine served with fresh, charming service. Gladly again

Great restaurant where we always enjoy coming to enjoy fine food. The menus are varied, taste excellent and are also a feast for the eyes! The service is very friendly and has a fine sense of humor - and last but not least, we like the Austrian charm!

I had clams once and then vomited for the rest of the afternoon. I definitely won't order mussels again, but otherwise the food was always good. In summer the garden is very cozy.

Great atmosphere, excellent service, nice people. BUT... It doesn't say on the memory card whether it has full cream in it or not and that's a shame. If chefs could cook, they would cook with sour cream and it would be in the memory card. Because there are many allergy sufferers who cannot tolerate full cream. I will come back with the guests from England if something changes in this regard, otherwise there are enough other restaurants in the city of Lucerne and the region.

A quiet little courtyard to get away from the town bustle with excellent dishes made from excellent ingredients.

Friendly service. First class food 👍

Excellent service, food fabulous, excellent ambience

Very nice service, good feeling.

Very good cuisine. Delicious dishes. Impeccable service.

Food very good, everyone very friendly and attentive

Everything was very good, from the food to the service

Quiet location with a beautiful courtyard.

Ein wirklich gelungener Abend. Aufmerksame und freundliche Bedienung. Das Essen hervorragend…das Rindstartar war ein Traum , die Tagliolini Thun wunderbar und das Dessert erfrischend. Tolles Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. Wir kommen wieder.

Gestern Abend durfte ich wieder in Hofgarten ein tolle Abend verbringen !!!Das Essen war Super Rindstartar,Thunfisch mit hausgemachte Falaffel und Kichererbesenmousseline mt Feine Gemüse !!Als Dessert Feine gebrannte Crème mit Haselnuss !Chapeau für Qualtät beim Essen und das Aufmerksamer und nette Service .Ich komme wieder !

Good restaurant 🍴 very friendly staff everything top 😋

Elegant fine dining with a relaxed atmosphere. Staff are helpful without being intrusive, and willing to answer questions about the food and restaurant while you're ordering. Absolutely delicious food! Always ask about the daily dessert special ...

I feel this is the best restaurant in Luzern. It consistently delivers amazing flavors and exceptional service. The menu changes frequently so you can always try new food. The wait staff is perfectly attentive and delightful. It also has an intimate atmosphere, either sitting in the garden outside in warmer temperatures or sitting in the cozy interior space in colder temperatures. It’s a good place to go for a romantic meal or to eat with friends. There is also good vegetarian/vegan options. We have eaten at most restaurants in Luzern and while some might have lake views, this is the place for good food.

Poor handling of allergies You can't deal with allergies here. Brazen reactions are the result. Right at the beginning I mentioned my allergies to all dairy products. The Tafelspitz bouillon could only have been served without the accompanying bacon dumplings. There was no alternative. Instead I took the lamb's lettuce with bacon, croutons and quail eggs. The croutons were deleted without replacement. In addition, three leaves were rotten. The king oyster mushrooms were missing from the main course. When I asked, I was told that these had probably just been forgotten and had not been left out because of the allergy. I declined the offer to bring me some more because I had already finished eating. A few minutes later mushrooms still arrived. My renewed reference to finishing the main course was dismissed with the comment that you don't start with something like that here and serve the mushrooms. The dessert was the crowning glory. The waitress offered me that I could eat the apple strudel. Shortly before dessert arrived, they asked if I could eat butter, to which I said no. So I received chopped apples with some cinnamon. When I asked what kind of apple strudel that was, I was told that it was always like that with them and that only the strudel leaves were left out. When the decorative raspberry also became moldy, I decided not to have dessert. My expectations are different for the prices quoted here. Disappointing!

Mit Allergien kann man hier nicht umgehen. Dreiste Reaktionen sind die Folge.Gleich zu Beginn nannte ich meine Allergien gegen jegliche Milchprodukte. Die Tafelspitz-Bouillon hätte man nur ohne die zugehörigen Speckknödel servieren können. Eine Alternative gab es nicht. Stattdessen nahm ich den Feldsalat mit Speck, Croutons und Wachteleiern. Die Croutons wurden ersatzlos gestrichen. Außerdem waren drei Blätter faulig.Bei der Hauptspeise fehlten die Kräuterseitlinge. Auf Nachfrage wurde mir mitgeteilt, dass diese wohl nur vergessen wurden und nicht aufgrund der Allergie weggelassen worden waren. Das Angebot, mir nun noch welche zu bringen, lehnte ich ab, da ich bereits mit dem Essen fertig war. Einige Minuten später kamen trotzdem Pilze. Mein erneuter Hinweis auf die Beendigung des Hauptgangs wurde mit dem Spruch abgetan, dass man mit so etwas jetzt hier nicht anfange und die Pilze serviert.Das Dessert wurde die Krönung. Von der Bedienung wurde mir angeboten, dass ich den Apfelstrudel essen könne. Kurz bevor das Dessert kam, erkundigte man sich, ob ich Butter essen könne, was ich verneinte. Also erhielt ich gehackte Äpfel mit etwas Zimt. Auf meine Nachfrage, was dass denn für ein Apfelstrudel sei, sagte man mir, dass das bei ihnen immer so sei und nur die Strudelblätter weggelassen worden sein. Als auch die dekorative Himbeere schimmelte, verzichtete ich auf den Nachtisch.Für die hier aufgerufenen Preise ist meine Erwartung eine andere. Enttäuschend!

The Hofgarten is a nice restaurant near the Hofkirch and in the center of Lucerne. Very friendly staff and excellent food.

(Traducido por Google) Hace poco estuve en Lucerna con mi mamá y queríamos ir a este restaurante. El camarero (austriaco) dijo que solo deberíamos sentarnos cuando la mesa esté despejada. Esto en un tono muy hostil y duro. El camarero luego se escapó y nos detuvimos en la mesa, entonces mi mamá dijo que no debería pararse más y se sentó. Yo también, el camarero volvió y dijo aún más antipático que antes y cito: "No puedes sentarte en una mesa sucia" Los dos podemos, la mesa no estaba sucia, solo los platos todavía en él. Luego nos pidió que nos fuéramos. Lo que hicimos entonces. Nunca más tan desagradable que nunca me ha pasado. No es necesario. Que básicamente te despiden. Increíble y eso en esta época. Luego fuimos al chino, que es menos chic a la vuelta de la esquina de Bing Haus, que cocinaba súper fresco y delicioso y nos dio una cálida bienvenida. (Original) Neulich war ich mit meiner Mama in Luzern und wir wollten in dieses Restaurant. Der Kellner (Oesterreicher) meinte wir dürften uns erst setzten, wenn der Tisch abgeräumt ist. Dies in einem sehr unfreundlichen und barschen Ton. Der Kellner lief dann weg und wir sind am Tisch stehen geblieben, darauf meinte meine Mama sie möge jetzt nicht mehr stehen und hat sich hingesetzt. So auch ich, darauf hin kam der Kellner zurück und meinte noch unfreundlicher als davor und ich zitiere: "Sie können Sie doch nicht an einen schmutzigen Tisch setzten" Wir Beide doch können wir, der Tisch war ja nicht schmutzig, sondern einfach das Geschirr stand noch darauf. Darauf hin bat er uns zu gehen. Was wir dann auch gemacht haben. Nie mehr so unfreunlich das ist mir noch nie passiert. Sie haben es wohl nicht nötig. Das sie einem quasi weg schicken. Unglaublich und das in der heutigen Zeit. Darauf hin sind wir dann zum Chinesen welcher weniger Schick ist um die Ecke Bing Haus und der hat super frisch und lecker gekocht und hat uns freundlich empfangen.

(Traducido por Google) Disfrutamos de la comida en el Hofgarten con motivo de una "cena volante" con nuestro club. En tres platos, siempre nos sirvieron una variedad de platos pequeños y maravillosamente deliciosos, siempre con una sonrisa y mucha calidez. ¡Solo puedo recomendar la cocina, el servicio y el ambiente del Hofgarten con todo mi corazón! (Original) Wir genossen das Essen im Hofgarten anlässlich eines "Flying Dinners" mit unserem Club. In drei Gängen wurden uns immer wieder eine Vielfalt an kleinen und wunderbar köstlichen Gerichten serviert - immer mit einem Lächeln und viel Herzlichkeit. Ich kann die Küche, den Service und das Ambiente im Hofgarten nur aus ganzem Herzen empfehlen!

L’hôtel est absolument charmant, la chambre spacieuse et confortable, en plus le petit déjeuner est très bon. Le personnel est très pro et sympathique. L’emplacement est idéal pour la découverte de cette très belle ville. Bref, nous avons passé quelques jours très agréables et y reviendrons sans hésitation.

Un service très sympa dans une large cour avec des arbres ( ou bel intérieur).Une cuisine qui fait plaisir, saine et goûteuse et une carte des vins bien élaborée.Tarif en rapport avec la qualité ( pour une des rares fois pendant notre séjour helvétique ).

(Traducido por Google) Bienvenida muy amable y muy buena cocina. La "sugerencia del día" resultó ser excelente en nuestras dos visitas. (Original) Accueil très aimable et très bonne cuisine. La "suggestion du jour" s'est révélée excellente lors de nos deux visites.

Wir waren heute hier zum Essen und waren begeistert. Wir haben auf die Empfehlung des Kellners gehört und nach einer leckeren Kartoffelsuppe als Vorspeise als Hauptspeise Schweinebrust auf Weisskraut gegessen. Der Hammer! Auch die Nachspeise (Tagesdessert) war rundum gelungen. Der Service war sehr gut und unterhaltsam, zudem sehr aufmerksam und zuvorkommend. Am Nachbartisch hatte eine ältere Dame Geburtstag, hier wurde eine kleine Kerze gebracht und der Nachtisch ging aufs Haus. Das Preisniveau ist für Luzern gut. Wir kommen wieder wenn wir mal wieder hier sind.

(Traducido por Google) Muy buena comida. Personal muy amable y atento. ¡Nosotros recomendamos! (Original) Sehr gutes Essen. Personal sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Sehr zu empfehlen!

(Traducido por Google) Personal muy amable y atento. La comida fue sensacional desde el primer plato hasta el postre. Vale cada centavo. (Original) Personal sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Essen war von der Vorspeise bis zum Dessert sensationell. Jeden Rappen wert.

Véritable coup de cœur pour cette superbe terrasse ombragée. Le service y est parfait, professionnel et chaleureux. Nous avons pris du thon grillé avec baked potatoe et un mélange de légumes parfaitement cuisinés et un millefeuille aux framboises. Tout était délicieux. Bravo et merci pour ce beau moment.

Nach langem snd wir mal wieder im Hofgarten gewesen und haben einen sehr schönen Abend verbracht. Im Garten sitzt man sehr schön und die Speisekarte hat für jeden etwas zu bieten.Die Gerichte waren sehr schmackhaft und gut zubereitet. Bei allen war kreativer Twist zu spüren und immer eine Nuance weg vom Standard. Durchaus gelungen. Der nette, aufmerksame Service hätte uns allerdings erst einmal ankommen lassen sollen. Kaum sass man wurde man überhäuft mit Fragen, Informationen, Getränken und nach 5 Minuten stand das erste Essen auf dem Tisch. Da musste ich erst einmal die Notbremse ziehen um nicht nach 30 Minuten fertig zu sein. Ein wenig mehr Ruhe täte dem Ganzen gut zu Beginn, wobei ich es auch hasse 15 Minuten ignoriert zu werden. Also einfach besser takten. Preislich im leicht gehobenen Bereich wiegt die Qualität und da schöne Ambiente die Preise weitgehend auf. Ansonsten positiv und wirklich ein schöner Ort - nicht nur im Sommer !

(Traducido por Google) ¡Todo lo que tenía aquí estaba delicioso! La mozzarella de tomate fue especialmente buena. Los camareros eran amables y el restaurante estaba limpio y elegante. Se lo recomendaría a cualquiera que visite Lucerna. (Original) Everything I had here was delicious! The tomato mozzarella was especially good. Waiters were friendly and the restaurant was clean and elegant. Would recommend to anyone visiting Lucerne.

+ : Accueil sympathique et chaleureux, hôtel avec charme, propre, restaurant délicieux ! Très bien situé dans le centre de Lucerne.- : Parking très cher (25chf la nuit)Impossible de sortir sur la terrasse le soir (après fermeture du restaurant) donc obligé de sortir dans la rue pour fumer une cigarette ou boire un verre de vin (acheté à l'hôtel !). Très déçu sur ce point...

Di ritorno da una gita a winterthur decidiamo di passare una notte in questa bella città e passeggiando tra le vie capitiamo per caso in questo piccolo angolo fiorito nascosto....Che dire? In una sera un po' fredda abbiamo trovato un'ottima accoglienza che ci ha riscaldato per tutto il tempo della cena....grazie di tuttoAh....per non farci mancare nulla abbiamo consumato un'ottima cena cui abbiamo fatto seguire il giorno seguente un ottimo pasto servito impeccabilmente in questo fantastico angolo fioritoAssolutamente da ripetere William e Patricia Cortenova

(Traducido por Google) Super estupendo restaurante tranquilo en un jardín amurallado. Fantástica comida y sabores. Personal servicial y amable. (Original) Super great tranquil restaurant in a walled garden. Fantastic food and flavours. Helpful and friendly staff.

Très bel établissement où l’on se sent bien. Literie de belle qualité. Accueil chaleureux. Petit-déjeuner varié. Restaurant proposant des plats de grande qualité. Établissement à recommander.

Wenn man die Stufen im Lokal mal im Griff hat, so fühlt man sich sehr wohl in diesem Restaurant. Die Bedienung ist aufmerksam und charmant. Die Speisekarte verführt zu vielen guten Menus, die Preise sind angemessen.

Excellente étape , tout est parfait : l’accueil, la chambre spacieuse et de bon goût, la literie. Le restaurant ayant beaucoup de charme , nous y avons dîné et ce fut une excellente surprise supplémentaire,

We enjoyed our evening visit to the Hofgarten. The staff were very professional: ready with help and advice but unobtrusive otherwise. The waiter’s assistance with our choice of wine was superb. Top marks.The food itself was great. In particular our choice of guinea fowl for the main course was wise: it was delicious. A thoroughly enjoyable evening meal.

Das Geburtstags-Zmittag war ein Erfolg: Schöner Tisch, angenehmes Ambiente, ansprechende Speisekarte, ausschliesslich Schweizer Fleisch, feines Essen, sympathischer, aufmerksamer Service und für das Geburtstagskind eine süsse Überraschung. Wir kommen wieder.

Great dinner, service and atmosphere. The location is perfect and was not crowed with tourists. One of the best dinners we had on our trip. Our hotel recommended the restaurant and they did not disappoint!

Le cadre de ce restaurant est très agréable : dans un jardin où les tables sont suffisamment espacées pour avoir de l’intimité.La cuisine est raffiné et de très bonne qualité. Les vins également. Et les prix très corrects pour la Suisse Je recommande vivement !

Ho cenato in questo caratteristico ristorante poco distante dal lago e vicino alla chiesa principale di Lucerna Buono il tagliere di salumi misti e formaggio, birra discreta Dolce insufficienteLa signora che mi ha servito attenta a carina, abbiamo scoperto al conto che parlava italiano

Mittagessen: Das Zitronenrisotto mit einem " Hauch von Zitrone", so der Kellner, war mehr als enttäuschend. Noch enttäuschender aber war die Reaktion des Mitarbeiters, der meinen Hinweis, dass es nicht schmeckte, herunterspielte und sich lustig darüber machte, dies vor den anderen Gästen.

Great food and service in a small courtyard setting in a very central location slightly tucked away from the crowds.
