"Das Restaurant punktet ohne Frage durch seine außergewöhnliche Lage! Fantastischer Rundumblick auf den Luganer See, weil es sich an der Spitze einer kleinen Landzunge befindet.Das war es dann aber auch leider schon mit begeisternden Aus und Einblicken.Eine gelangweilte Bedienung, 2 Krabbencocktails, die in Mayonnaise praktisch ertrunken sind, 2 Pizzen, die gschmacklich eigentlich nur von der darauf befindlichen Chorizowurst gelebt haben, 1 kleiner gemischter Salat und eine Flasche Wasser für 130 CHF stellen leider kein tragfähiges Preis Lestungsverhältnis dar. Man bezahlt definitiv die Location das sollte man wissen und das sollte es einem dann auch Wert sein.Was aber u.E. gar nicht geht, ist die Tatsache, dass bei der Zahlung mit der Kreditkarte OHNE zu fragen, automatisch die Umrechnung in Euro abgerechnet wird! Anschließend darauf angesprochen, erhielten wir diese Antwort ohne Schuldbewußtsein: Das macht die Maschine automatisch . Das ist natürlich ziemlich dreister Unsinn, denn die Einstellung muss manuell vorgenommen werden und vor Allem, der Kunde MUSS dem vorher zugestimmt haben, scheint hier aber wohl bei europäischen (vor Allem deutschen) Ausländern üblich zu sein. Daher die warnende Überschrift. Auf diese Art und Weise werden nicht unerhebliche zusätzliche Wechsel und Bearbeitungs gebühren automatisch eingetrieben."

"Superlative quality..., Chef Marco always knows perfectly where to put his hands and make everything wonderfully and humanely perfect. Going to eat at Marco also means experiencing a gastronomic reality out of the ordinary, an experience that only two or three restaurants in Ticino are able to offer you."

"Amazing food and service. The host and the team are very friendly. We went twice in three days just because it was so good and we wanted to try other items from the menu too. Be sure to reserve in advanced or at least call. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: CHF 60–70 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4"

La Veranda

Wein • Kaffee • Europäisch • Mittelmeer

"Unmittelbar über der Strasse gelegen, die am Seeufer entlang führt, ist das Veranda von der Lage her wohl nicht jedermanns Sache. Wir fanden es pittoresk. Mit seinen gestärkten Tischdecken, dem Servicepersonal im weissen Sacco und Fliege und seiner durch und durch klassischen fünf Sterne Aufmachung ist das Restaurant ein bisschen aus der Zeit gefallen. Selbstverständlich ist jeder Gang exquisit und natürlich verführt die sagenhafte Weinkarte dazu, viel mehr Geld auszugeben als geplant. Aber irgendwie gibts auch absolut null Überraschung. Irgendwie ist alles ein bisschen langweilig. Dass wir obwohl sich mindestens 6 Kellner um unseren Tisch bemühten irgendwann selber Wein nachschenken mussten, war in diesem Setting wohl ein einmaliger Fauxpas.Insgesamt sehr zu empfehlen. Damen dürfen sich in Garderobe stürzen und den edlen Schmuck zücken, Herren sollten das Hemd bügeln, das sie anziehen wollen ;"

"Really like this place, reasonably priced. Really like the ambiance here and the food is often well cooked and delicious. The server went far beyond to help to make our meal wonderful. My buddy was in town so we came here for supper, great food And atmosphere. We would suggest the table by the window to discover the best views."

"The place is very beautiful, with a complete panoramic view of the lake, but I do not recommend it at all due to the poor treatment of the restaurant staff. From the first time they saw us, Arabs and Muslims. She said that it is not good to sit directly on the view. She gave us a far table and said that you must eat. Unfortunately, people came after us and ordered coffee like us and let them sit. Aidi (an employee with blond hair) We wanted to have front tables directly on the lake view, but unfortunately the blonde waitress denied and said NO only possible with food ordering and not only coffee, then Minutes later she allowed local guys to set up and have coffee!! Clear racism to Arabs or Muslims or I don’t have any other explanation!"

Orchid Restaurant Bar

"The food was delicious: fresh, colorful, filled, beautifully presented. Although the menu did not display this as an option, Tofu could be added to the curry settings. The yellow curry and the red curry were both delicious. The appetizers and small plates also have vegan options, including fried tofu. The spring rolls and Samosas were delicious. The restaurant is located from the most important tourist activity, although still in the city centre. It is located on a rather quiet side street, so outdoor seating were great. The service was very slow, even according to European standards. This could have been attributable to the server, which also acted as a bartender, and he confirmed that it also covered the internal tables. We ended there for several hours with service, so order, only with the flagging below the server several times. The server was overhauled. We would come back to this restaurant, but ready for a long, unusually slow experience, with the reward is delicious food."

"Ho ordinato una diavola e mascarpone e una crudo a domicilio pagando 37 franchi. Pizza molta buona nell'impasto e ben condita oltre che economica, peccato che la diavola fosse completamente bruciata/carbonizzata con il carbone praticamente nero nella parte inferiore della diavola e dunque immangiabile. Piuttosto che consegnare una pizza in quel modo consiglio e invito la prossima volta di rifarla per evitare brutte figure"

"... aber nicht verpassen am Donnerstagabend entweder! Die Sandwiches sind was sie bekannt sind, aber die verschiedenen Teller mit Schinken und Mozzarella Käse, gegrillte Gemüse usw. sind auch klasse. Tolles Personal und immer einen guten Ort zu sein."

Etnic

Asiatisch • Europäisch • Italienisch • International

"Lugano can drive you nuts with the lack of dietary variety, especially if you're vegetarian. In another city Etnic would be no big deal, but in this town it's a huge find. Three of us could eat vegetarian—vegan, even, if we wanted—with some actual vegetables, and with flavor and variety that wasn't Italian. The prices were typical of Switzerland, and service was friendly. In a city with this much great outdoor seating something was lost sitting inside, but not too much. Note that the restaurant runs a little take-away place just outside the Quartiere Maghetti, but the main restaurant is inside the Quartiere. So if you find a tiny little store, ask them for directions to the restaurant proper."

"A volte i ristoratori dimenticano che i clienti, oltre a mangiare, desiderano vivere un 'Esperienza. Conosco il grotto e mi sono sempre trovato bene, per cui decido di portarci mia moglie a cena. Prenotiamo tramite il pratico servizio WhatsApp anche se, purtroppo, al nostro arrivo la nostra riservazione non c 'era..Trovato un tavolo abbiamo ordinato. Due antipasti e due primi. Il solito tartare di gamberi di Mazara del Vallo.. niente di speciale, e un tagliere di salumi, buono.I secondi, due piatti di pasta. Un raviolo ripieno ed una pasta con salsa di capriolo. Immangiabili!! Letteralmente e senza, ma,.. intrisi di esaltatori di gusto? Sapevano di detersivo x piatti. Chiamato il cameriere mi ha sostituito il piatto con una tagliata, mentre mia moglie non ha voluto nulla, anzi ha quasi terminato il piatto perché per carattere si vergogna nel lamentarsi. Il mio piatto di pasta non è stato conteggiato, anche se aspetto ancora adesso il proprietario che venisse a commentare il piatto, come mi era stato comunicato dal cameriere. Per inciso non è entrato più in sala come fa d 'abitudine) fino alla nostra partenza.Deluso perché desideravo fare bella figura con mia moglie, mentre è stata una cena senza soddisfazione e che non ricorderò. Avendo sborsato quasi 200 franchi desidero, voglio, ambisco all 'esperienza . Non mi cambia nulla il mancato conteggio di un piatto.."

"Sono stato in questo locale per una cena con degli amici. L’accoglienza non è il piatto forte e la padrona si è mostrata fin da subito molto scontrosa. Non esiste un menù ma la signora lo racconta a voce con aria scocciata e mischiando antipasti con primi e secondi. Lista dei vini scritta a mano con prezzi esorbitanti pur essendo essendo consapevoli di essere in Svizzera 50 CHF per una bottiglia di pessimo merlot . Piatti poveri e mal cucinati e porzioni decisamente esigue. Dopo 40 min arriva l’ antipasto consistente in mezzo carciofo trifolato che navigava nell’ olio e due fette sottilissime di prosciutto. Il piatto pricipale arrivato 1 ora dopo l’ antipasto prevedeva due fettine di brasato quasi trasparenti , 4 ravioli alla barbabietola rossa, 2 bocconcini di capretto e una misera porzione di maltagliati al pomodoro e olive. Nel frattempo la cameriera continuava a versare acqua e vino nei bicchieri. Passiamo ai dolci: due coppe di gelato al cioccolato e un pizzico di vermicelles. Tutto questo per la modica cifra di quasi 70 CHF a testa!!!! Decisamente da evitare."

I Due Sud, A Lugano

➤ Hotel Splendide Royal, Riva Antonio Caccia 7, 6900, Lugano, Switzerland

Wein • Vegan • Fisch • Mittelmeer

"I didn’t like Lugano: an inflated bubble, a dummy, a parody of Monte Carlo. Noisy, bustling, full of poor people and Russians from Russia. I won’t write about the little things, I want to write about the last straw: the lie when reserving the “I Due Sud” restaurant with a Michelin star. We called in advance to reserve a table, they made an appointment for Sunday, and warned us about the strict dress code. We dressed up like fools, arrived at the appointed time, and... the restaurant was CLOSED. We thought that the entrance to the restaurant was further away, so we went looking. We came across the Veranda cafe and decided to ask their hostess about our restaurant. And the hostess answers: “What restaurant...Your reservation is with us, at the Veranda cafe.” We were stunned. We did not expect such impudence! Already on the spot, we learned from the cafe employees that the “I Due Sud” restaurant is open only 3 days a week: Thursday, Friday, Saturday. To say that they would be outraged is not enough. We felt humiliated and complete idiots. After a serious conversation with the head waiter of the Veranda cafe, it turned out that employees often do such tricks with reservations in order not to lose customers. But really, what's the difference between eating in a restaurant with a Michelin star or in a cafe? Dear Michelin employees, there is no difference! In general, it was as if we didn’t go to Lugano (Switzerland), but to Antalya (Turkey). Some kind of clownery. We’ve never been to this part of Switzerland, we came for the first time for a couple of days and managed to turn into suckers. We do not advise anyone to visit this canton of Switzerland."

"I ordered myself first. The staff that helped me was very nice. I don't know italian and my Chinese aren't that good, but the menu has English. I ordered 2 bubble teas, 2 shrimp dumplings ravioli), the total of 8 pieces and they are decent size, and Mapo Tofu. They're all legit and good. Even if your Mapo Tofu container looks like it's leaking ish that's normal and okay, nothing leaks. I think it's a little expensive, but you know it's worth it. The bubble tea is so, but it is probably the best bubble tea you can in Lugano. And yes, I will return to this place soon."

"Little professionalism regarding the service. And the second time that for a delivery order not all the ordered dishes arrived. Additionally, this time, when I called the restaurant I was told it was strange that something was missing. After speaking to the chef I was told again that it was strange since the chef remembered having put everything in order. The sad thing is that for a missing dish the restaurant questions the customer's complaint. The apology came after I insisted that they doubt my word, that something was missing. Unprofessional approach. Last time. PS Sushi quality below expectations and certainly lower than last year."

"Der Service ist noch von alter Schule. Hochprpfessionell. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich.Allerdings ist uns etwas aufgefallen: Es gab da einen Kellner, der sich auch optisch von den anderen unterschied.Meine Frau hat mich bekehrt, dass das der Chef de Service war. Dieser war nicht besonders freundlich. Eher etwas mürrisch. An den Tagen, an denen er gearbeitet hat war die Stimmung beim Personal heher schlecht und weniger professionell. Als er frei hatte waren die Kellnerinnen und Kellner fröhlich und trotzdem hochprofessionell. Währnd seiner Anwesenheit kam es zum Beispiel vor, dass ein Kellner vor dem Gast durchlangt um Wein einzuschenken, was sonst undenkbar war.Seltsam was man alles mitbekommt, wenn man in der Lage ist die Stimmung in einem Raum aufzunehmen.Unter professionell verstehe ich auch, dass sich die relativ teuren Preise nicht nur mit der Qualität des Essens und des Service rechtfertigen, sondern auch genügend Personal vorhgnden ist um Wartezeiten zu vermeiden. Da wir zu Coronazeiten da waren und alle Hotelgäste ausschliesslich hier assen, war das Nachtessen in 2 Schichten. Das heisst um 18:30 kommen alle auf einmal. Trotzdem gab es nie Wartezeiten, das genug Personal da war."

"Had a brilliant evening driving over with Grotti Tour (highly recommended). The table was personally reserved and written with a large bottle of wine. Fine starter, perfect mistkratzerli with side dishes and homemade desserts...great location..Very good hosts. A perfect evening by the lake for the four of us."

"Terrible. If you are vegetarian and want the lunch menu they will give you rice with vegetables . By vegetables they practically only mean broccoli (and by broccoli they mean the stalk of broccoli, hard and inedible), 2 almost invisible slices of carrots and 2 small pieces of courgettes. All for 13.50 fr? A robbery. 7 different types of meat/fish options, but not even a tofu or protein vegetarian option that justifies the price of the dish. Never again will I come here. If you are looking for vegetarian options on the same price line (but more generous portions) for lunch I recommend Kind Thai in Besso or the new Vietnamese in Molino Nuovo da Sung."
