Zunfthaus Pfistern Restaurant
Zunfthausrestaurant Pfistern
One of Lucerne's oldest guild houses, with a balcony right beside the Reuss and the Chapel Bridge. Cheese fondue and calf's liver with rösti are popular choices.
Pfistern is a guild house at Kornmarkt 4 in the Old Town, and its riverside balcony directly faces the Chapel Bridge, which is its biggest draw. Signature dishes include cheese fondue and calf's liver with rösti, and there is a children's menu. Reviews are mixed: the views and fondue are generally praised, but many find the prices high and the service inconsistent, and even tap water costs extra. It suits visitors who want to eat Swiss food by the bridge, and balcony seats should be booked in advance. Average spend is about CHF 45–75 per person.
