Kraut-sourced

If you’re looking for a fancy vegan restaurant for a date in Switzerland, Karl’s Kraut is probably your best option. Located just outside of Luzern’s old town (Switzerland’s most touristy city), Karl’s Kraut offers organic and locally sourced dishes in an warm and intimate setting. We had the starter: Karl's Apéro-Plättli 15.50.- (vegetable sticks served with a homemade dip, roasted caramelised herb nuts, vegetable crisps & various topped crostinis), followed by Polenta Balls 29.00.-(Polenta balls with roasted coconut Szechuan vegetables, red cabbage, pak choi, carrots & edamame topped with a yuzu mayonnaise, sesame coral and coriander oil), and a Burger with sliced baked potato 28.00.- (smoked tempeh burger breaded with cornflakes, tartar sauce, fresh red cabbage, iceberg lettuce & pickled red onions served with spicy oven potato slices) and finally we shared a dessert plate, Karls Dessert Surprise 14.50.- (variation of small sweet treats).

Pros: Nicely furnished , Try to use organic and seasonal products

Finally found a great vegan place in Switzerland

Switzerland is a difficult country with all involved with vegan food, that's the reason I was so happy to find this great restaurant. It doesn't have much to choose from but all was great.

Pros: 100% vegan , Cozzy and nice, well designed

Very nice venue not far from HB

I stopped by while visiting Lucerne, the food was exceptionally good, I took bowl with grilled watermelon, before we got bread starter as well as bowl of salad. Very nice interesting venue and nice and helpful staff. Highly recommend !

Wish we had more time

The waitress made sure we understood that they are vegan - we said that is why we were there. Our bus stopped briefly and we got the wrap - which seemed quickest. They got us on our way in a hurry. The Indian inspired wrap was well seasoned. NOTE - the menu was only in German, but was explained.

Pros: ALL VEGAN!!, Beautiful location

Cons: We were in a hurry , You will need patience, as the menu is in German

Lovely selection of dishes. Fresh and tasty.

I had the vegan burger and my friend had a delicious dish of a rice croquette in tomato and peppers sauce. All was very tasty.

Lovely Vegan place by the River

The decor is lovely and staff friendly. We went on a Saturday night and it was crowded. Unlike the tag on happy cow/google map, they don’t offer takeaway. I had the seitan and tofu burger and the ‘Kraut Chef Surprise’ for dessert. The burger was delicious, but the patty was a bit dry and hard to chew, the dessert dish came with 3 options, the strawberry mousse was by far the best, it was light and fluffy.

The restaurant overlooks the river but is not as busy or crowded as the river cafes closer to the station, which makes it ideal to enjoy the view in relative peace.

Pros: English Menu Available , Fully Vegan + Lovely view of river , Delicious food , especially the dessert

Cons: Can get crowded on weekends, Takeaway not available , Burger bun was a bit dry and hard but still yum

Nice restaurant

Nice service. You should make a reservation. Everything looked and tasted good. I might however understand the comment from the previous review, it's a little bit too salty.

Amazing venue

Karls Kraut is one of the best vegan restaurants here in Switzerland and definitely worth the visit. They offer a changing menu for dinner with different creative and tasteful options. I had a pasta dish with seasonal vegetables and Creme brûlée for dessert, absolutely delicious! Also the staff is very attentive and forthcoming. Just be sure to reserve ahead because it get‘s very crowded in the evening.

Best FOOD ever

This was probably the best food experience I’ve had, let alone the best Vegan food, that too in Lucerne. Loved the Quinoa Sellerie dish and DO get the desserts. It’s a fine place to sit with a great bar and gourmet delights. You don’t want to miss this.
