Lugano Swiss Bistro - Carmel

We had an amazing lunch at Lugano, where we indulged in both cheese and chocolate fondue. They also offer options for kids, which made it an ideal choice for our family. The food was delightful, and the service was outstanding. Our server was extremely friendly and professional. The decor is charming and has a lovely Swiss touch! We visited on July 4, around opening time, and it was quite empty because many people were attending local holiday celebrations. However, as we were finishing our meal, more customers started to arrive. I'm not sure how busy it gets on a regular day since it was a holiday, but it’s definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

This fantastic restaurant has been around for a long time and has truly endured the test of time. The food is flavorful and incredibly tasty, the atmosphere is inviting and lively, and the service is consistently excellent! They also offer outdoor seating, which is particularly romantic on a lovely autumn evening. I genuinely appreciate having such a place nearby, and I’m thankful that gems like this exist. I often bring family and friends when they visit so they can also enjoy this wonderful experience. I highly recommend trying the fondue and Swiss onion soup.

Absolutely the best cheese fondue I've ever had! I returned here after seven years and still enjoyed it just as much as the first time!

My first fondue experience. I had the sampler and was not disappointed. They also serve some imported beers in das boot for all you fans of Oktoberfest. The apple strudel dessert was also delicious.

Tucked under what looks like a water tower, we followed the signs to the front entrance. We passed a few outdoor dining tables before entering restaurant. I felt a lite lost at first as we were right in the dinning room and didn 't see a host station. A waiter greeted us and showed us to a table. The dinning room was small but found the decor to be very fitting for the restaurants name, Swiss BistroI . I decided on ordering the Jager Schnitzel with a large Bavarian Pilsner. Five minutes after my beer was served, my dinner was served. The Schnitzel was served with a mushroom sauce that was very good. The Red cabbage had a hint of sweetness and I found the spatzli good but tad a little bland. Our service was good and the wait staff friendly. This is a place I will return for my German food fix.
