When I began writing this post I was
sitting in a park, watching the flowers blossom and listening to birds tweet -
they seem to have a lot to say to each other...
While sitting there in the sun, I
remembered the delicious meal I ate in the ancient Lucernois restaurant, open
since 1578, which I will now share with you.
The Pfistern
Restaurant Luzern is situated on Kornmarkt which is a small but charming
square. The restaurant is opposite the City Hall. This is the heart of Lucerne,
with restaurants, bars and historic places all around.
They serve typical Swiss cuisine that is
seasonal and fresh with ingredients from the Mediterranean region. The result
is inventive, surprising and in harmony with the local traditions.
We first went to Pfistern to have an end
of the day aperitif. We had a Moscato
Mojito (not too strong in alcohol),
served with appetisers. We loved the place so much that we decided to return in
the evening to dine. So, I asked the waitress to show me the dining room and
book us a table by the window overlooking the city landmarks.
The restaurant itself is vibrant and cosy,
no tourists only local clients, making us feel that we were somewhere very special.
We went along to try their typical dishes.
We ordered à la carte, only a main dish instead of the 3 course set menu as we
were not very hungry because we had already eaten a lovely Italian lunch. It
was not easy to choose from the extensive menu!
Luzerner
Fritschi-Pastete, Lucerne pastry filled with veal and pork (meatballs)
mushrooms, apples and raisins with a cream sauce, served with seasonal
vegetables.
Fischchnoschperli, white
fish fillets baked in crispy beer dough, with tartar sauce, served with rice
and vegetables.
The meal was absolutely exquisite and came
with a wine carefully selected for us.
If you are a serious traditional food
lover, this is a place to go in the evening. Order delicious food from the menu
- they have cocktails and good wine too - and spoil yourself on the lovely
terrace enjoying the buzz and fizz of the place…

DeleteThe Lucerne pastry makes me hungry just looking at it! I love the restaurant ceiling - it adds to the atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteIt's all about the details... Thanks for dropping by, Cresta Bear :)
DeleteThat all looks so good.
ReplyDeleteThe Luzerner Fritschi-Pastete seems especially delicious. Here in the United States we tend to eat meat with fruit sauces in the fall. On the other hand, that looks good anytime. I may try to make something like that this year.
Hummm...I adore to eat meat with fruit sauces, anytime... Thanks for dropping by, Brian :)

ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words, Duta :)
DeleteThat typical restaurant looks good.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the mood for this summery drink! I like Mojitos, but I've never had that variation. Lol
It was the first time I had a Moscato Mojito. It is a little different, not made with rum — it is made with Moscato, a sweet Italian wine. Moscato is slightly effervescent, but not quite as bubbly as champagne. It is too sweet which is perfect for making mixed drink. :)
DeleteWhat a truly beautiful restaurant. Dining among locals really gives you that special feeling and you really found a gem here...the surrounding looks amazing. Such history and the food looks wonderful, too. You really put us in the spot with you.
ReplyDeleteThanks a million for your kind words, Monica :)
