Fodor's Expert Review Rebstock/Hofstube

Formerly a 16th-century tavern, this lively brasserie is a favorite meeting place for Luzern's art and media crowd, humming with locals lunching by the bar, while the more formal old-style restaurant glows with wood and brass under a low-beamed parquetry ceiling. Fresh market ingredients are combined to create modern, international fare, including chicken simmered in white wine, rabbit stew, and classic garlic snails. There is ample outside seating when it's warm, including a small garden.
