I've been to Pluspunkt a couple of times and always enjoyed myself! Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and the food is always great. They use mainly products and ingredients from closeby farms and producers. Lots of local specialities!

Brunnen sort of rolls up the sidewalks at night and its hard to find any nightlife. We found this place to be the best in town. The food is "ok"- Mexican....but probably good for Switzerland.. The Bar is friendly and the staff fun. Great evening spot right on the water front.

If a restaurant is going to specialize in a particular food, it should be good at it. This place isn't. It is known for fried chicken but the chicken is so greasy and overcooked, it's disgusting. The sauces are weak and tasteless. The recipe for success here is so simple - rotisserie the chicken (like the Coop down the street!), keeping it tender and moist, then prepare three great sauces such as bleu cheese, buffalo and one other. That's it! But nothing here worked - and on top of that, the cost was unbelievable - $18US for half a chicken! Just don't go here.

There is no reason to come to this place. No special service. No special food. No special coffee. No special view. No special atmosphere.
5. Restaurant Beaufort
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 40 reviews
Beaufort, the À-la-carte restaurant on the ground floor, is an oasis for guests wishing to dine in a dignified atmosphere on Lake Lucerne. Every day Werner Maus creates new, unique compositions that pamper the palate. The qualified chef and wine expert has been cooking with passion for many years. The modern and classically furnished restaurant rooms are not only the ideal place for business lunches or a varied lunch with friends. The restaurant with its fantastic sun Terrace can also be booked for private events in a small setting. Thanks to our own boat moorings, there is no obstacle to a spontaneous stop at sea.

The restaurant is on the lakeside with a huge Terrace, beside a marina. When we visited it was practically empty (both marina and the restaurant) so it was almost cozy.
Our waitress was very friendl and helpful.
The food was great.
Prices the usual Swiss level.
I can warmly recommend this place for everyone.
6. Weisses Roessli

Reviewed By saronic - Zurich, Switzerland
On a warm late summer evening all tables outside had been taken, but sitting indoors was pleasant enough. The place is airy, the nice furniture is of light wood, the whole interior design well done: traditional, but not overdone as so often.
The very friendly waitress, who attended us all evening (a non-ethnic Swiss) told us to sit at the round table in the corner, which would have been at least for four persons. We were close to a picture of the Bavarian Fairy Tale King Ludwig II, who in 1865 stayed here in the historical hotel 'Weisses Rössli (little white horse), of which this is restaurant is part of.
Checking the menu-card we saw that there are classical dishes on offer, international ones like 'Beef Stroganoff' or Schnitzel, but mainly wellknown Swiss specialities like 'Chopped Veal Zurich-style', Cordon Bleu, Bratwurst, Älplermagronen or Cheese Fondue.
We asked for 'Zander' (Pike Perch) and the 'Fresh Fish of the Day', which was 'Felchen' (a local whitefish) from the Urnersee. The restaurant manager regularly passed by all the tables with customers, looking after their wellbeing and also helping the two waitresses with the service. It really gave the impression thta one was well taken care of in this restaurant.
The dishes were of excellent quality, well prepared and nicely presented in big square plates. Even before I had finished the restaurant manager asked me if I felt like another fillet of whitefish. Since there already had been three of them, I had to say no.
For dessert my wife had ice-cream, again nicely presented, while I went for 'Mazurka', a prune sorbet with 'Vieille Prune'-liqueur, which was excellent as everything this evening at the 'Weisses Rössli'.
7. Daves Gelateria Artigiana

Daves Gelateria always seems to have a queue out of the door into the road whenever I pass by, so I decided to take the family in to see why people love the place so much.
A very wide choice of flavours and everything looks good. Different sized bowls available. We had coffee, mixed berries, chocolate, strawberry and red cherry. Everything was exceptional.
The price of ice-cream is higher than the mass produced competitors, but you just can't compare the quality and the price is worth it.
The location is just off the main street through Brunnen, head for the Public Information office, look over the road behind the stream and you'll see Daves.
Seating outside.

The restaurant with its Austrian owner and its Thai kichen staff offer a menu that is different to the other restaurants of the area. It is definitely worth checking it out. The wine they offer is also delicious.

We were looking for an informal cozy local place and this fit the bill perfectly. I have eaten outside on the patio many times but never inside or in October. The menu had all the local and Swiss favorites you would expect; my husband had the breaded pork cutlet and I had the lake fish. Just delicious. For two dinners including salad and drinks plus dessert, it cost $85US. Nice and quiet this time of year too.

Ok this is not the place you go for pizzas. The chef is a master and can put together the most amazing fish plates, starters combining a huge variety. He is supported by efficient, most friendly and authentic staff. Wine list is excellent. Overall it is a bit pricey, still in line with Swiss ranges, but worth every cent in terms of taste and ambiente.
