Wirtshaus Galliker

My family and I ate here for lunch 2 days ago and it was absolutely delicious! It’s the first swiss restaurant we tried this trip and it did not disappoint. We ordered the schnitzel, bone broth soup with meat and vegetables (forgot the name lol) and the beef strogannoff. We couldn’t get enough of the schnitzel and some of the condiments on the side that’s mean to be put on the meat! Looking forward to eating here again. Highly recommend! Thank you to chatgpt for the suggestion.

Amazing! I loved the shell. The Wienershnitzel was big and plentiful.

I too came here at the recommendation of ChatGPT. It specifically reccomended the Luzerner Chügelipastete, with roti, which was very delicious. I also tried the pears and the flan for dessert, both of which were great. Was filled with friendly locals and guilds. Some of the tables are long and shared, which promotes interaction if you’re so inclined. Server Hannah was very kind and offered help in English. Was seated for one at 2100 on a Friday without wait or reservation. I heard Saturday night or earlier times that’s unlikely.

If you’re looking for a traditional Swiss meal, you absolutely need to come to this restaurant. The food was so delicious. The service was absolutely incredible. I can’t recommend Hannah enough as a server. She took amazing care of us the whole way through. The schnitzel was so authentic and tasteful. The bone broth soup was to die for definitely do not miss out on that! 10/10 would recommend!

We just had such a lovely meal here. The food was classic authentic Swiss cuisine and brought us back to what our grandmas schnitzel. Food was amazing. Service was incredible. Hannah was an amazing server and truly made us feel taken care of, and provided wonderful service.

I was lucky enough to visit this wonderful restaurant today. The food was simply delicious; it was like a warm hug to the heart. The place is steeped in history, clean, and has a cozy atmosphere. The staff are charming and friendly. Thank you so much for making my visit to beautiful Lucerne even more special!

Food was absolutely delicious! For the price you are paying you’d expect a little more intimate experience but we were sat at a community table even with a reservation. Others after we came in had their choice of tables so maybe we just needed to ask or it’s only for locals.

Always worth a visit! I love coming here with friends to enjoy this typically home-style Lucerne cuisine. The staff are always very friendly and the food is always fresh and fantastically presented. I also think it's very good value for money.

One of the top meals we had on the trip...and we have been having excellent meals. We still talk about this meal and I highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Lucerne. Started off with the appetizer size of the puff pastry with cream sauce, Lucerne style. This is also offered as a main if you prefer, but the menu is packed with delicious dishes. We also had a plate of the dried meats, Swiss style, which we polished off quickly. The beef stroganoff was lovely, not at all like the beef stroganoff I was familiar with from the US (with a gravy/creamy sort of sauce). This dish was also very quickly polished off and we actually ordered another main! This time we opted for the sliced veal with rostï and that was just as divine. Topped everything off with a little caramel flan. If I had stayed one more night in Lucerne, I would've gone back here to try more of their dishes. There's a reason they've been around for so long! The staff was so lovely and it was nice to see a lot of locals eating dinner there as well.

WoW... just WOW!!! We had puff pastry w/cream sauce Lucern style, asparagus w/hollandaise sauce for our appetizers. So SO GOOD!!! Then for dinnerFilet stroganoff and Wienerschnitzel. Crazy Crazy good!!! Dessert was Carmel custard and apple strudel and both were the Perfect ending to a GREAT meal. We were nervous when we walked in, because it was empty, which usually isn't a good sign, however it slowly started filling up, and then we got our food, and immediately we knew we were in the right place. Two Very BIG thumbs UP!!!!

Was incredible. Super friendly local spot. Warm traditional dishes and good wine. One of my favorite meals in Lucerne. We had the mushroom appetizer, beef stroganoff, bread veal with crème sauce and spaetzle (not sure of spelling), apple streusel, and caramel custard.

I went there with my family in a. Attempt to try authentic Swiss food. This place is the right choice. The atmosphere is cozy and has the locals feel to it but there were some tourists like us. We do not eat pork but we still found veal options. The shell Pastry with mushroom sauce is a must try for authentic Swiss food. We got it with veal for me and also with vegetables for my daughter. For side item I suggest the rosti potatoes which are close to hash browns Swiss style. Yummy! The creamy mushroom sauce on flaky shell pastry is amazing!Great meal! My wife got the veal thin sliced place with groti and it was tasty. One son got the veal sausage and groti and the other got the kids spaghetti which is ok. The waitress was nice and tried to describe each plate in English as the menu was in Herman only. Prices of items we go ok per Swiss standards. There were many more pricy items. Overall was a pleasant experience.

I arrived before 9pm on a Friday and kitchen was already closed. This is absolutrly ridiculous! There were plenty of customers eating as well as empty seats, and I could have finished eating before many other customera, but I guess the staff is too lazy.

This is my first yelp review and I had to post because this was one of the best meals I had in Switzerland. If you're looking for traditional Swiss German cuisine, that's hearty and full of flavor look no further. I had the bone marrow, the mushroom tart, my friends and I shared the perch, the Wiener schnitzel and the roast pork. And every bite was better than the next. Family run place with a great rustic comfy vibe.

Great food and amazing service. This is the real deal!!! I had the veal sausage and my wife had the Heute Pot au fue (think a light broth stew with meats, sausages, potatoes and bone marrow). The service was friendly and warm like you are visiting a relative.

Man, this is one traditional place! Tuesdays and Thursdays they make stew with tongue, marrow, ham and sausage. Insane! The food is all rich and hearty. Def an experience but don't eat for at least 48 hours before coming here. Also, come after 1pm for lunch. They are super busy.

This place is overpriced for the quality of the food and service provided. Be prepared to share seats at a long table, with no privacy, only to see lots of empty tables nearby. The food, while ok, was not worth the prices charged. Be ready to pay $4 for tap water, even though no such charge appears on the menu. You will find "mineral water" on your bill, which won't get removed even if you ask! There are better options to choose from in Lucern. Take your date elsewhere.

A must for people who are skeptical about Swiss gastronomy. If you try it here for the first time, you'll surely love it.

An absolute "MUST" if you love true and authentic Swiss cuisine!

If you are looking for overpriced noodles accompanied by lukewarm service, then look no further: this is definitely your place. I dined alone in an almost empty restaurant. I was asked to move seats exactly four times to allow for bigger parties and groups. Mind you, at the time of my departure from this establishment, it was just as empty as when I had arrived. I was moved and sat directly next to a couple and another individual dining alone - again, in a quite empty restaurant. If you would like a glass of water... tap water... to go along with your meal, rest assured that that will also be a charge. This establishment might have once been grand, but that time has long passed. There are many wonderful restaurants in this fine city. I recommend that you check out, well, any of them. If you dine here and enjoy disappointment for dessert, don't say that you've not been warned. Bon appétit!

Our best meal in Switzerland! We loved everything about this place. The atmosphere was cozy with a true family-owned feel and home cooking. My dad asked our waitress what her favorite thing was on the menu and she looked offended, like this is my family's restaurant, everything is the best. And she was right!! Not one person had a drop left on their plate. I think my Dad may have actually drank the gravy. Kidding, not kidding. We never order dessert, but didn't want our meal to end. A must stop in Luzern!
