We're on a mission to find the best foodie spots in Switzerland!


Can we be honest with you, Reader?

We know that Switzerland is famous for Swiss cheese and chocolate...but beyond that?

...Switzerland isn't usually ranked up there with Italy or France when it comes to food.

However, we're foodies! So we're on a mission to find the best foodie spots in Switzerland!

And we've put together a list of our favorite restaurants, cafes, and bakeries in Lucerne!​

I hope you're hungry!

Because we have TWO FULL DAYS worth of food in Lucerne for you to drool over while watching. Cue cheese, chocolate, and cheers-worthy drinks!

Wanna follow along? We made it easy!

​Here's the link to a free Lucerne Food map with every single restaurant, cafe, and bakery pinned from the video. You're welcome :)


P.S. Hungry for more Swiss food?

Here are our other Swiss food videos, some of which have free maps as well!
