Exzellente Küche und top Ambiente - Edit
Viele vegane Optionen und genug im Angebot für Tier-Esser.
Read morePräsentation sehr schön, geschmacklichen ausgezeichnet. Die Karte lud meine sehr vegan kritische Begleiterin ein, doch ein veganes Dessert zu probieren und sie war sehr begeistert davon.
Das Restaurant hätte mehr Gäste verdient an einem Freitag Abend.

Wide vegan selection, great taste - Edit
It used to be completely vegan, but not anymore. They still have lots of vegan options including several salads, soups, dried tomato tatar, seitan cordon bleu, flammkuchen, several autumm dishes and desserts.
Read moreWe had a prélude salad and pumpkin soup, two autumn dishes (rösti with mushroom cream sauce, chestnuts, red cabbage, wine pear with cranberry filling and the other one was with spaetzle and pastetli). Everything tasted great. Attentive service and fair prices. The interior design isn't my cup of tea and the chairs were a bit outdoorsy for indoor.

Hidden gem - but unfortunately not all vegan any more! - Edit
Update 11/04/19:
Read moreWe went there again recently, the food is still great and the staff was very friendly. As they now serve meat, the vegan options became somewhat limited (unfortunately no faux-meat options any more), which is a shame. But my tarte flambee was delicious and apart from the vegan dessert on the menu (there is just one on the menu now), they also had 3 vegan desserts of the day from which we could choose.
Next to the standard soap dispenser in the loo, there is also a vegan liquid soap, which is a nice touch.
--- End of update---
You won't stumble upon this great restaurant by chance, especially as a tourist, as it is located in the unattractive suburban town of Emmenbruecke.
But it is well worth a detour and not far from Lucerne (7 minutes by train). The restaurant is located within a former industrial park that has its own train station, so it's very easily accessible.
The evening menu used to be all vegan, but unfortunately, they added dishes containing meat, eggs and dairy. They have faux-meat as well as traditionally vegan options. Everything we had there (we were three, two vegans and an omnivore) was delicious, even the omnivore loved his faux-meat main.
For pudding, we had tasty ice cream in a pot from "The Green Fairy" (Swiss vegan ice cream brand).
Staff was very friendly and helpful.
The opening hours have since the renaming. Finally, the restaurant is also open on Saturday evenings.

Vegan SuperHeroes - Edit
Schnell zu Mittag gegessen und schwer beeindruckt vom aufmerksamen Service und einem tolles Okra-Yamswurzel-Ragout mit Belugalinsen genossen, was wirklich Geschmacksexplosionen auszulösen vermochte! Plus Salat und Dessert für unter 20 CHF! Chapeau!

Vegane Menues - Edit
Im Gersag haben beide Liebhaber Chancen was super gutes zu essen. Es gubt täglich Ein Veganes und ein Fleischgericht. Zudem gibt es noch eine sehr tolle und abwechslungsreiche Karte. Ebenfalls mit Veganengerichten. Die Portionen sind nicht gerade klein.

Ich würde dieses Restaurant allen weiterempfehlen.
