Curry… curry…and MORE CURRY!!
Get the curry and it won’t let you down, I forgot exactly what I got but it was good, it had red curry with a piece of steak so yeah. But the veggies that came with it were also delicious, they weren’t hard to chew but were soft.
But for me the star of the show was the tea.
Which Tea?!?
The Raspberry Lime Tea, it’s refreshing and also it wasn’t too sweet, it had a nice balance of flavors.

Excellent food & great service in a stylish ambience. We love to come to the Thai Garden already for many years. Our favorite dish during our latest visit was the Gaeng Kiaw Wan Gung - Green Curry with Tiger Prawns 👌

As starter my favourite was Paper Prawns Gung Grabueang. For the main course we ordered 3 different dishes but panaeng nuea prig thai oon is just on another level.
If you think that tiramisu wouldnt taste good, you make a mistake because it is heavenly delicious.
The staff is very professional and kind. We also enjoyed live music. The atmosphere is incredible.
Expensive but worth every penny.

A rather plain doorway, one which you would not look twice if you are looking to eat in a good restaurant literally opens into a paradise.

A reception area with a few tables at the entry level leads to a grand stairway which takes you to the main dining hall. At the top of these stairs you realize that this is PARADISE. 21 steps down and we were seated in a cozy nook of one of the loveliest Thai restaurants we have ever visited. The beauty of the artifacts and statues on display were enhanced with the dim lighting and our hostess for the evening BANGON appeared with a smile that lasted all evening.

She helped us with the vegetarian fare, ensured that the food was free from any egg, Fish stock or oyster sauce. The food was on the mark with the right flavors and the addition of asparagus in the soup and green curry was a new one for us.

All in all a lovely evening, a bit pricey but well worth every penny spent. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Lucerne who desires some spice on their meal.

PS. The only negative I found was that the place was a little warm, specially once you have had some drinks and partaken of a spicy hot soup or a starter.
