Kreative Mittagsmenüs - Edit
Wir haben zu viert die verschiedenen Mittagsmenüs im Karls Kraut genossen und waren alle (auch die vegan-kritischen) sehr begeistert.
Read moreDie Preise sind mit rund 20Fr pro Mittagsmenü inklusive kleinem Menüsalat/-suppe und Brot total gerechtfertigt.
Wie kommen gerne wieder!
Pros: Auswahl und Preise, Ambiente, Personal

Delicious lunch! - Edit
This riverside restaurant is a gem! Service was cherry and helpful. The selection for lunch was just three items but all good and tempting. Generous servings. Happy Cow said it closed at two on Saturday but they are actually open all afternoon. This would also be a lovely place for dinner.

Tolles Lokal, tolles Essen, tolle Leute! - Edit
Die kreativen Menüs bleiben in guter Erinnerung! Zuvorkommende Bedienung, gute Geteänkeauswahl - auch nonalkoholisch. Der kalte Rooibos-Vanille Tee ist der Hammer! Schon mehrmals hier gewesen, immer wieder ein Highlight - bestellt einfach nicht den Burger, der hat eigentlich nichts auf der Karte verloren.😄und wer nicht schwindelfrei ist, sollte nicht ins rechte Klo. Wer schwindelfrei ist: unbedingt aufs rechte Klo ;)

Cons: Burger langweilig und passt nicht ins Konzept

Wonderful place! - Edit
The food is great, the staff is very friendly and the location has a wonderful view over the canal with a few historic landmarks in the near vicinity! And even though it is close to the very busy old town this street was actually surprisingly quiet! Big recommend!

They offer seasonal dishes so the menu changes, but they’re always committed to tasty, health forward meals. The veggie burger was great but the chocolate mousse dessert stole the show!

Full restaurant speaks volumes - Edit
This restaurant was completely full the night we went. Great atmosphere, excellent food and a good wine list. I enjoyed the ‘Autumn plate’ and the Pumpkin Pie. It’s expensive but it’s in Switzerland where everything is expensive.

Best vegan food in 16 years - Edit
My wife and I were Celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary since we married in Luzern. We were amazed at the quality of the meals at Karls Kraut. We chose a mixed vegetarian salad, and a vegetable pasta wrap ( angel hair pasta center, wrapped in vegetables in a rice paper wrap). Both were fantastic. We have been whole food plant based for 16 years and have never had better food. We highly recommend this restaurant. We ate outside, with a beautiful view of the River Reuss and the old downtown. It doesn't get any better that this.
