Luzern and Central Switzerland Restaurants

In this heavily visited region, most restaurants are open all day, sometimes with a more limited menu between lunch and dinner. You'll find outside seating wherever it's possible to create any, including huge gravel-strewn terraces shaded by magnificent chestnut trees as well as tiny sidewalk tables fighting for space with pedestrians. Unless you're eating in one of the upscale hotels where "smart casual" clothing is a must, the unofficial dress code of the rest of the country applies: if you're clean, you're in. Fresh, nonsloppy jeans are preferable to a dirty suit.
