This was one of my favorite restaurants of our recent European trip! The atmosphere and decor was incredible and made me feel like I was living in another century. Not to mention the amazing service from our waitress who made homemade weinerschnitzel table side. We also tried the chocolate mousse for dessert which was absolutely amazing.

Such a pleasant experience. We made a booking in advance and right from the start the staff were extremely welcoming. Of course I had to try the famous table side prepared weinerschnitzel and it was worth it, delicious and entertaining. The sliced venison was also amazing. Melt in your mouth meat! To too it all off, our waitress was the absolute best. We enjoyed her company for the night !

Perfect for a Switzerland dining experience!

Reservations are a MUST. I had the signature Wienerschnitzel dish while my wife ordered the perch with spinach and potatoes.  Both were delicious. The service was great the staff are very attentive. Watching our waiter cook the wiernerschnitzel tableside was very interesting to watch,  and the waiter was very animated while cooking.
The dinner was very expensive,  but the food and service make it all worthwhile.

Loved the ambience of this place. Really neat inside. The table side schnitzel is of course the thing to see, and it was tasty. The rest of my family got that but I got a brisket dish with potatoes and creamed spinach which was excellent portion and pretty tasty especially with the accompanying sauces. The potatoes needed something but the chive sauce was it!
Desserts were great too. The apple fritters are delightful and the chocolate mouse is rich and dark.

Old Swiss House à Lucerne : Restaurant traditionnel au cœur de la Suisse

Established in 1858, the Old Swiss House has been serving traditional Swiss and French cuisine for over a century. The restaurant is housed in a historic 19th-century half-timbered building and has been a family-run establishment for generations.

Découvrez l'histoire captivante du Old Swiss House à Lucerne

Situé au cœur de Lucerne, le Old Swiss House est un témoignage vivant de l'histoire suisse. Construit en 1858 en tant que maison à colombages, ce bâtiment historique a traversé le temps pour devenir un symbole de la tradition culinaire suisse et française. Au fil des décennies, il a conservé son charme d'antan tout en s'adaptant aux exigences modernes.

L'histoire du Old Swiss House est marquée par des moments clés qui ont façonné son identité unique. En 1858, la construction de la maison en tant que Riegelhaus a posé les bases de son avenir. Ce n'est qu'en 1931 qu'il a été transformé en restaurant, donnant naissance à une tradition culinaire qui perdure depuis plus d'un siècle.

Une rencontre mémorable a lieu en 1951 lorsque August A. Busch, propriétaire d'Anheuser-Busch, a dîné dans cet établissement. L'année suivante, il a épousé Trudy Buholzer, renforçant ainsi le lien familial avec la maison. Depuis lors, le restaurant continue d'être un lieu emblématique, incarnant à la fois l'héritage familial et la tradition culinaire.

En 1998, Philipp Buholzer a repris le restaurant, perpétuant ainsi la tradition familiale. Son leadership a permis de préserver l'authenticité de la cuisine et de l'ambiance, tout en insufflant une touche de modernité. Aujourd'hui, le Old Swiss House reste un joyau historique, accueillant les amateurs de gastronomie dans un cadre chargé d'histoire.
