Standard menu - Hotel des Alpes Luzern

What we offer
The Restaurant Des Alpes is situated in the most attractive location in Lucerne,
on the banks of the River Reuss overlooking the Kapellbrücke, or Chapel
Bridge. As the oldest establishment on the quayside, we embody Lucerne’s
history and take pride in conveying this to the local population and visiting
tourists alike.
Our aim, however, is not to serve up a slice of folklore. It is to offer the kind of
home-cooking that our mothers used to prepare for us in earlier days. This
means traditional, hearty fare that is nevertheless influenced by the culinary
traditions of our neighbours – in particular Italy, France and Germany.
We give these dishes a contemporary and creative twist. A key aspect of our
approach is the use of top-quality regional products while largely avoiding
industrially processed ingredients and flavour enhancers.
