Swiss Folklore Restaurant Lucerne in Kriens

It is impressive how friendly and efficient the service always is, even under difficult conditions (carnival, concert,...). The food is delicious, I can especially recommend the Leberli

Great event especially because of the performers...

At first I didn't think it would be delicious. Because we are Asian but this restaurant's cheese fondue is very good. And the pork gordon bleu is delicious as well. If I have the opportunity, I will come back to visit here again.

Nice place, good simple good, skyrocketing prices. They sat me and my friend at a table with other people who didn't speak English. The waiter was very nice but confused and didn't understand English either. They charge you 5 franks for a one-liter bottle of plain water. The choice of dishes is not great, little choice for vegetarians. The prices are crazy, but that's Switzerland... However, the ambience is festive and they have concerts.

Friendly staff, good ambience, terrible food

Carnival occasion. Super güggeli, friendly, relaxed service.

This is a great place. Edi did a great job.

Very nice place in the heart of the city... I drank delicious beer made by them, listened to traditional music in a welcoming and traditional environment, I'll be back!

Super nicely done, and cool live music

Great concert, but also a great performance from the hosts. Serving so many people so quickly and in a totally friendly manner is also an art. And the Stadtkeller team has definitely mastered this. 😃 The food is also delicious, especially the vegetables, which are rather carelessly cooked in some restaurants, simply taste great. The drinks were already there when the people sitting next to us at the table. the order has not yet been taken; That just can't be topped.

Best bartender in the world! Nice bar great atmosphere.

Cool place and attentive, friendly service..Thank you.

Everything was actually excellent in the Stadtkeller. Great food, welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff. However, I would like to ask that sick staff stay at home! We were greeted by a lady who obviously had a bad cold on Thursday evening, December 28th. served. Now I too have a cold - on New Year's Eve!

If you don't mind waiting 30 minutes for someone to take your order (everyone after us had already finished ordering and even started serving food) and another 40 minutes for the food to be served, the food is on the high side but not very tasty. If so, you can come and give it a try. The cheese pot smells like alcohol, but I heard that the cheese pot without the alcohol smell is more delicious and has higher quality ingredients. (We didn’t finish probably two-thirds of it) By the way, there is a space at the door that smells like smoke, because there is a smoking room next to it, but I think the smoking space should be separated from all other spaces, instead of waiting in a space full of smoke before I go into the restaurant.

Delicious Fondues and unique atmosphere

I was looking forward to going there to eat with my family, my 7 year old son and my niece, I had a fondue for 3 people and they could have said that a fondue for two would have been enough for the 3 of you, I am disappointed because a customer access person would have suggested this but on the contrary the waitress had a smile when I said for 3 people. So half of the cheese (caquelon) remained it was a waste, I am very very disappointed and I do not suggest this place to anyone. In any case it's not a question of money but rather a question of behavior, that's it!

The rudeness of the service staff at this restaurant is astonishing. We made an advanced reservation and showed up on time. We were seated promptly and quickly asked what we wanted to eat. We asked for a few minutes to check out the menu. 40 mins later, we were still waiting for somebody to take the order. When we tried to make eye contact, we were told to wait 2 minutes. Next time we requested service verbally, and were told that it will take 2 more minutes and “we should see that a lot of guests all arrived at the same time”. Meanwhile, 2 other parties that were seated after ours did seem to mysteriously get served. After waiting another 10 minutes, we walked out. Having waited a total of 40 minutes from the start time of an official reservation, this seemed quite reasonable. Unfortunately, they managed to somehow make things even worse. We were quickly reminded to pay our water bill. The service to make that payment was super quick. Upon departure, the head server neither had the courtesy to apologize for the slow service, or the common sense to invite us again at a future time. The rudeness and unnecessarily contemptuous attitude is probably the lowest level of service I have experienced after visiting several restaurants over the past 20 years of travel.

Staff were very nice and it's in a great location. Rooms are tiny but clean

Very friendly staff, great with kids

Always great there even for non-tourists.

Nice place to eat. The cheese fondue is very tasty. Price on average.

Thanks to the whole team for a great evening 😊

Yesterday we had dinner in the Stadtkeller again for a long time. Despite many guests, we were still offered a table. The food and service was A1. We haven't eaten so well in a long time. Afterwards we went to the bar for a drink. One drink turned into several and an unforgettable evening with great guests. The bar worker was very attentive and friendly. At the end we were given a warm farewell. We will remember this evening for a long time. Thanks to the whole team.

The food in general is good. We wanted to try fondue, and we got a fairly local recipe, with white wine among its ingredients. This made the taste of the processed cheese bitter and heavy.

Beautiful place. Very kind and very good food. Highly recommended

Very nice restored restaurant in the center of Lucerne. The stucco work, stained glass paintings and other historically important objects have all been beautifully restored. The Stadtkeller is not just a place you should know, but rather a place you have to visit. The food is also of a high standard. If you want to taste something historically important and delicious, you can order a “Fritschi Pate”. All of our menus not only looked good, but were simply delicious. The restaurant is located very close to the Fritschi fountain. The restaurant can be reached on foot from the train station within 5 to 10 minutes. The service was friendly and we can highly recommend the restaurant. Follow me on Google Maps 🌍

We went there by chance to eat and when we entered it was super empty, the waitresses were super friendly, we ordered a raclette to share as a starter and as a main course a pumpkin risotto (which was super good) and a sausage…. Everything was very good but it was not spectacular either, I still recommend it knowing the high prices here, this one was not even that expensive for me

The Best service of Switzerland that I had! Great hospitality. Food was okay, in my opinion, the fondue tasted too much of alcohol

Their Pork Cordon Bleu is a must try!

Home-style cooking and top service. The city cellar has not lost its certain something after the renovation.

Very pleasant operation and the staff is very friendly. I highly recommend it

Absolutely amazing food and they serve a local beer in massive jugs...lol!!

Very good beer and i love the cheese fondue. Entertaining show and prompt staff.

A restaurant that could pass as a down-to-earth village pub. Chairs and tables like in a picture book and a stage! Where else is that? A pub with a stage for concerts and other performances. Really brilliant.

Great ambience. Staff were friendly. Food was good, somewhat pricey but it's just Swiss living standards. I wish there was more selection.

The food is good but not outstanding. The ambience and service are outstanding. I would have thought that I would get in the mood so much at a traditional folklore show. I can only recommend the show and the restaurant. It's great for a fun, sociable evening and you can also learn some new traditions from Switzerland. I found the schnapps xylophone to be the most impressive but I don't want to reveal any more.

Came in with picture of the veal cream dish from the website. It was not currently on the menu, but they made it for us anyway. It was AMAZING. Bravo to server, Connie, who asked the kitchen. The cook Ragu should get a Michelin star! The facility is unique and very attractive. Wonderful meal.

We went with a group of friends and had the best time ever!! Great food and atmosphere. We got a little taste of the wonderful Swiss culture. Highly recommend it!!

An absolute must when in Lucerne! The whole atmosphere is fantastic, the head master of the show is a great performer that gets the customers involved. Nice music, authentic Swiss decoration and instruments. Staff helpful, extremely fast, polite and spoke English. On top, food and drinks were great, quality-taste-price wise!

An extraordinary atmosphere that excites customers, especially foreigners. Well done.

A nice place where you can eat well

The show has been brought to another level - very entertaining and fun

Ordered Steak with Rosti. Perfect presentation, taste and seasoning. Definitely top rated. Service - Denis was very prompt and polite. The lady service staff was very service oriented as well. Thumbs up 👍👍👍 Atmosphere - Great.

Nice place, good service, good food, if you want to fine traditional food, and Show. You can visit here with you familly or your partner.

Pleasant restaurant in the center I've never had venison pepper before, I tried it and it wasn't exactly my taste. Was too dry for me. Friendly service, but if you want to point out the right thing to the learner, then please don't hear it as a guest... The bill was simply placed on the table without asking.

Very nice interiors with great decoration. Extra smoking bar lounge with a small outdoor area in the city center. Good (alcoholic) bottled must.

Popular Swiss are proficient in many different Musical instrument The host is very good at stirring up the atmosphere Very lively

A train brought us to the city cellar. We had an extremely fun and entertaining evening with a great supporting program. The food and service are excellent. Fine dining with a musical journey through Switzerland. Unbelievable 😻 We'd love to come back. Thanks for the great evening and entertainment.

If you're going to Lucerne and want a real authentic Swiss experience this is the place to go! 10/10 highly recommend. Make sure to get a reservation also.

It was a fun evening with an alpine horn being played, a singer demonstrating yodeling, wine and a tasty meal.

Original location, definitely a highlight for tourists on their Switzerland tour. But music is too loud and without a break from around 8 - 9:30 p.m. The food was fine, but nothing exceptional. Staff friendly and attentive.

Fondue, excellent beer and good atmosphere, all very pleasant from all the staff.

We got there for a tour and the truth is that it has been one of the best experiences, the menu is already established for us and it was: * A tomato soup with basil * Breaded pork escalope with French fries and vegetables *Homemade Panna Cotta with whipped cream Everything was very delicious, the staff was super friendly, there were several groups of tourists in the restaurant and they gave us a show, they invited people to come in and the atmosphere and experience was incredible.

I have been many times. Excellent staff and service.

Nice restaurant with gluten and dairy free options. They even had gluten free bread available.

Very nice and traditional restaurant in the city center. It looks a bit gloomy from the outside, but inside it is pleasantly bright thanks to a well-thought-out lighting concept. Delicious food and courteous service.

Awesome fun and entertainment!!

We had an awesome time at a folklore dinner

Farmer Sausage and Liver, delicious.

The best thing I have done in Switzerland The most fun. Do not miss this.

A good place to have authentic Cheese Fondue..

A highly recommended experience!! Food, show atmosphere and the best beer I have ever tasted in the world!! Without a doubt you have to live the experience and enjoy everything that this great place in Switzerland has to offer!

Great show, food terrible, staff excellent...

Lovely restaurant that had a Swiss show with music and entertainment. Staff was very friendly. Food was good.

The music performance is wonderful and can bring up the atmosphere. It is well worth coming.

Great restaurant with folk music in the old town of Lucerne

The food was great, the atmosphere was great too but the prices are shocking. I guess these are normal Switzerland prices but a family of four could eat in Italy for the price of lunch for two here. Be prepared!

Really excellent food. We will return!

My husband was asked to cook his own food. We ordered beef & chicken but pork & chicken came.

We went there to eat on a Saturday and the truth is that not only was the food delicious! If not, the staff was 100% nice! Very very comfortable! A 10!!

Fast friendly service, very tasteful food.

I lost something in Stadtkeller in Lucerne. Today is the first time I came to your restaurant for dinner. As a foreigner, I accepted unequal treatment when I entered the store! The attitude of the old lady's waiter to discriminate against Asians. Let's hurry up to order food, and we can put up with the phenomenon of discrimination again and again. But the most unbearable thing happened. Hi today when the noon i go to your place to eat some, i forgot my glasses on the table,when i found i had forgotten my glasses,go back your restaurant to find it,the glasses are gone,I'm sure that my eye box was on the round table at that time. I asked the waiter, which means that it didn't take it... The glasses are very important to me. It's a relic of my family... If the waiter can return it to me, I am willing to pay the relevant expenses. I should be honest. Thank you!! ! My glasses have the PARDAR trademark on the bracket, the tail has a leopard print color, and the glasses case is black. If you see this email, please reply to the message immediately. These glasses are very important to me!!️. I will pay you 200 euros to express my gratitude after returning it. According to the woman's sixth sense, the waiter took it away.

Very nice show, although a bit noisy. Food ok

The food was good, but service was horrible. The waiter was not friendly or helpful. The place is nice decorated. But with my experience with the service I wouldn’t recommend.

food just doesnt make the cut. considering i was really hungry from the city walking tour, the food was hardly bearable for me. the icecream saved the day for me in the menu. with service and ambience, i cant complain. great music and show.

Entertainment was fantastic. The audience is encouraged to participate in yodelling,dancing and playing an instrument. Staff were wonderful. My husband I went with Insight tours. Fantastic night

Fantastic live show a d yodelling. Great atmosphere and lots of fun. The cheese fondue was great.

A place in Switzerland with all the German style, a very good-sized restaurant, very good service, excellent location in a totally instagrammable square. Highly recommended.

Great atmosphere with traditional music and shows, just like having a festival!! Quite an enjoyable dining experience!

My experience at the Stadtkeller restaurant in Lucerne was pleasant. The folkloric activities were festive, and customers were invited to participate, which created a friendly atmosphere. The songs, music and dances were entertaining. The meal was very good, with meat dishes, sausages and tartare. The service was quick and the servers were friendly, which helped make the meal more enjoyable. If you are looking for a lively place with a folkloric touch in Lucerne, the Stadtkeller could be an option not to be missed.

The show was hilarious and fun. Food was great too, especially the fondue and beer.

Great Folk music experience. Food was average.

We had a great time, the waitress was amazing! 100% recommendable!

A delightful restaurant with a set dinner and a cultural show. You need to reserve in advance. The restaurant is usually fully booked. The meal starts with a fondue, then to the main course and a desert. Two drinks are included with the meal. You can choose wine or beer. The service is quick and the staff are friendly. The staff handled the large full capacity crowd with ease. I have added the cheesecake that was served. The Swiss flag on the cake. Cake was well made.

It was a nice place, I recommend it

Swiss cheese cream is very delicious. Cheese hotpot (cheese fondue) is a bit greasy, the wine taste is a bit strong so it doesn't suit Vietnamese taste very well.

People try to avoid places for tourists - but this place was the exception! A fun night out with reasonable food and friendly service. Would recommend!

Unforgettable experience, we didn't make reservations, but I recommend it because we were very lucky to have a table left for us, and thanks to the rain we had to wait to stop before leaving, the concierge came and invited us to sit at the vacant table. There was a show with a band Switzerland, very good show. Fantastic food and beer, we ate the beef blue with both chicken and beef, excellent food and drink. We had a lot of fun and it was my parents' wedding anniversary and they were very receptive. Congratulations to the concierge and waiter David. We always recommend

This was a great event, it's a great location, however they put so many people in there. It was just uncomfortable. But don't let that stop you from going and celebrating the culture of Switzerland.

A good laugh all night ,good food and drink , excellent hostess , yodelling and national instruments,sound of music on steroids

Waiters were quick & nice. The homemade iced tea didn't really convince us (it tasted like crumbled tea), but the veal schnitzel was very good! The bill at the end caused a bit of confusion, as the side dish to the schnitzel was charged separately and was not included. None of us knew the principle. I mean, who eats schnitzel "pure"? Stupidly done. Location is beautifully done.

So much fun! A great cultural experience and a such a fun night!

What an amazing palace with great food and real Swiss atmosphere and culture

Came here as part of a tour group. It was a wonderful experience, fixed menu of local food and beer with live entertainment. Some of the performances asked for volunteers for folk dancing and even horn blowing, which the kids thoroughly enjoyed. Would definitely recommend!

Do not miss it !! Plus the prices are very affordable, and they have a menu.

Real Swiss economy...an absolute must in Lucerne...

We were able to go to Stadtkeller for a very late lunch (2 pm) as their kitchen is open throughout the day. The service and atmosphere was lovely. As we were there during an offpeak time, we practically had the restaurant to ourselves, but all the staff were still very welcoming and attentive so we did not need to wait long to get their attention. The food was very delicious. I really like the fish and chips and the homemade cherry iced tea.

Lovely environment, great show and live music, nice interactive with customers

Super fun. Dinner is fairly quick to get you to the fun part of the evening.

I have been there a few times to look for a friend who wasn't there. The bar is a smokers place. Bit expensive for me. The actual restaurant is very large and I guess the food is great.
