    Creative French

    Save to a list Write a review On the Way Around

    A glass cube overlooking Lake Lucerne sets the scene for one of Switzerland's more serious tasting-menu restaurants, where the chef runs a six- or eight-course creative French menu that folds in Japanese and Scandinavian moves without announcing it. The kitchen holds two Michelin stars, the wine cellar runs to tens of thousands of bottles, and the chefs come out to walk you through each dish themselves. Book well ahead.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Duck liver ice cream

      “The signature dish of duck liver ice cream with beetroot and beef tartare also deserves a special mention.”

      Michelin Guide
    • Miéral pigeon and truffle

      “Hard to be beaten in terms of intensity and complexity of flavour is the combination of Miéral pigeon and truffle, accompanied by the wonderful depth of pigeon jus, as well as Albufera sauce and white cabbage foam.”

      Michelin Guide
    • Shiitake dashi

      “Amuse-bouches, such as shiitake dashi with a lovely hint of ginger, provide the perfect prelude.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
