Izakaya Nozomi - Luzern

Excellent — we had lunch which was very good. Very nice staff. Off the beaten track and not a tourist trap; most clientele appear to be locals in the know.

I and my girlfriend visited this restaurant for the second time. Since we live in Ticino, where you can only find sushi restaurants, we looked for an authentic Japanese tavern, so that we could enjoy the flavors we got used to during our Japan vacations. The restaurant is quite hidden but worth the search. An intimate atmosphere puts you straight where you want to be. I have a sesame allergy and made sure to specify it on the reservation form. As soon as we arrived, both times, they asked about it and, during our first visit, the chef himself came out of the kitchen to show me what I could eat. The second time, we found a printed list. This is an amazing customer care. The menu is satisfying and you can find several cold and warm dishes. Don't look for sushi though! Here you can only enjoy true Japanese dishes. The food is perfectly cooked and well presented: no fireworks, just the simple ingredients wisely prepared, rich of flavor and joy. We can't wait for our third visit.

Best Japanese restaurant in Lucerne. Authentic and real, fine and tasty. Always happy to come here!

Peanut butter tofu and cabbage pancakes were amazing!

My favorite restaurant of all time. Every dish tastes special, different and very delicate. I have never been disappointed and every visit is a culinary experience. And in addition, the staff is quick, wonderful and friendly!
