"I recently had the pleasure of dining at Lucide, restaurant located within the KKL Luzern. The evening was truly unforgettable, with panoramic views of Lake Lucerne on one side and the captivating energy of the open kitchen on the other. The seamless blend of local artistry and culinary excellence created an ambiance that was both sophisticated and inviting.
Thank you, Chef Michèle Meier, and the entire crew, for an extraordinary evening 🙏"

"Loved everything about this dinner! Went for my wife's birthday and everything was perfect - the food, the service, the view, the ambiance - it was all spectacular and they made us feel so welcome. Chef Huber's food was so delicious, though the word that keeps coming to mind is "interesting." He uses lots of local ingredients, vegetables, and techniques I've not experienced. The carrot dish was so intriguing and I've been debating with myself as to whether or not it was the star of the show, which is not something I thought I'd ever say. It was dehydrated and then rehydrated in more carrot juice which made for excellent texture and taste, and it was accompanied by several creamy sauces to prop it up even further. The salmon trout and beef dishes also blew us away, both of which had some much going on that I just don't even really know how to write about them without messing it up - just go and you'll know I mean! We thought it couldn't get better, but then my wife's favorite dish came out, which was the desert. Particularly, she loved the sorbet in it, which looked humble but was by no means subtle, as it was packed with raspberry deliciousness way beyond what we expected. All in all, this was the dinner of the year for us, though it's making it difficult to remember a better meal throughout the years. Thank you so much to chef Huber and his team! We are so grateful you shared your food/experience with us. Our only regret is that we did not tip more, because they deserve it and we're left with a feeling of wanting them to feel appreciated - it's that kind of place! Hurry as fast you can to Lucide in Lucerne"
