Not sure when it's open

Their new website "pura pasta" currently defines their open hours as "25./26.8.23
9-18" so only two days? Better call ahead or have a plan B.

High quality & super cozy

Vegan only. Small place with “home-feeling” in the old town of Lucerne. Small choice. The dishes we had were all delicious.

Pros: Vegan only, Creative, Cozy

Cons: Probably need to make a reservation

Beautifully Delicious

This place is fantastic. The food is simply delicious. The location is wonderful—just by the river yet very intimate. The service is exceptional, and the staff is very friendly. We came for lunch and dinner in the same day and were equally impressed each time. We had the special of the day for lunch—lasagna— and a black bean mushroom walnut burger with golden roasted tomatoes. The lasagna had spinach, squash and apples! Yes it was to die for. I’m writing this as we wait for dessert—Coconut Panna Cotta with persimmon cream and roasted hazelnuts and dates. Dinner here will top off your evening in Lucerne beautifully delicious.

Great Food

We were so happy to find a vegan restaurant with such good food 😍 The daily menu was a beetroot burger with potatos. Very statisfying food and nice choice of drinks.

Pros: Great vegan food, Charming restaurant, Friendly waiters

Lovely place to enjoy your lunch break

Pura is a small restaurant in the heart of Lucerne’s old town and welcomes you with a lovely and warm atmosphere. I stopped there for lunch break, there is only the option of there weekly changing menu as well as a variety of desserts. Still, I enjoyed my lunch, a Moroccan inspired vegetable dish and also recommend their homemade ice teas. Another plus, it is all vegan and they are promoting a plant-based and sustainable lifestyle 🌱

An absolute highlight!

An absolute highlight! Very cosy, light-flooded restaurant with extremely tasty and balanced cuisine. Exclusively fair-trade products from organic farming at the fairest prices. Much attention to detail. Friendliest and most charming service in the whole city. 6 out of 5 points - anytime again.

Best place in Lucerne

I just love this cute little restaurant. As I enter the room, I feel a warm and cozy feeling. It‘s so beautifully furnished inside! The food is amazing and delicious.

As it‘s quite a small place, I recommend to reserve a table in advance.

Pros: fully vegan, delicious , beautiful place

Small, relaxed, tasty vegan

A small restaurant with relaxed atmosphere, friendly service and very tasty vegan dishes. Somewhat limited menu, but with clear labels e.g for gluten free. Reservation is possible and recommended.

Pros: All vegan, very tasty, Gluten free options are clearly labeled, Sustainability mind set

Cons: Limited options, Quite small place, so may be full

A must visit

Besides the own concept, the restaurant's indoor setting is happy, quiet, colourful and positive. I had the lunch special - the veggies were very well combined and the herbs did their magic! The meal was filling, and overall, I would definitely visit again :)

Really love this place !

The food was pretty delicious. Love it to see there is a vegan restaurant over here. But there was just one option for lunch and 3 options for dinner. And it was really pricey. You can buy tap water for 2 CHF and they will give it to a water project, kind of charity. Also the coffee was nice and the waitress, so I really recommend this place.

Boutique raw plant food

A small, quiet boutique with a limited but tasty raw menu. A really surprising find in old town Lucerne. Lovely spot to gather your thoughts and enjoy some clear headspace.

Pros: Tasty food, Mid priced, Beautiful, quiet spot

Cons: Very limited (but very tasty) menu

Eine kleine Oase in Luzern

Das Lokal ist sehr gemütlich, eher klein aber wir fühlten uns sehr wohl. Es ist hell, sehr schönes Interieur, könnte ein Lokal sein das auf Pinterest gefunden werden kann.
Wir hatten das Mittagsmenu (es gibt jeweils ein Mittagsmenu) es war ein orientalisches Gericht das mit viel Liebe zubereitet wurde. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.

Pros: Veganes Cafe, Klein aber fein, Freundliches/ Herzliches Personal
