This small restaurant in Lucern truly impressed me. The dishes were beautifully presented on the plate and tasted absolutely phenomenal. The staff was incredibly friendly and it was a pleasure speaking with them in several different languages. A cozy spot with great food and excellent service – I’ll definitely be coming back.

A fantastic Peruvian dining experience in Luzern! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Pikante - the fusion Makis were a delightful surprise, the ceviche was bursting with flavor, and the fish was incredibly fresh. Every dish was beautifully presented, showcasing both creativity and attention to detail. The only drawback is that it’s on the pricey side, but given the quality of the food and the overall experience, it’s absolutely worth it. A must-visit for lovers of Peruvian cuisine!

We had a fantastic dinner experience at Pikante. Very friendly and attentive staff - outstanding food and excellent drinks (pisco sour) and wine. We will be back for sure.

Great food and service. Atmosphere was great too! Menu changes depending on season.

This is a hidden gem in Lucerne. My partner and I tried peruvian food here for the first time and we left more than satisifed. High quality food, attentive staff and a cozy ambience. The food was presented in a very elegant way - it was more than a casual dinner, it was a whole experience. We started with their Maki Sushi Acevichado and it was just delicious. The fried calamari on top served with the sauce had such a unique and vibrant taste. As the main course we had the Pescado y Marisco a lo Macho, 10/10. It offers a variety of different sea food and fish served with rice. Everything tasted so good and fresh. Each plate was put together with a lot of detail. As desert we had the Chef’s selection, which was a pear cooked in red wine filled with Pistachio and Mascarpone. You tasted the red wine pretty good but we liked it a lot, we just wished there was a bit more of the filling inside. For the starters and the main courses (two of each), one dessert, two glasses of wine and a bottle of still water we spent 180 CHF. The prices were very fair for the portions you receive. All together it was a great experience. We’ll be back soon. Thank you :)

A hidden gem just a couple steps away from Luzern's Old Town. Located on the ground floor of the Hotel Rothaus it offer a cozy atmosphere with just a handful of tables. It also has a nice small terrace. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, even tough we didnt make a reservation we were given a nice table. On weekends a reservation is recomended. Piso sour is a must and it doesnt dissapoint. The Ceviche was spectacular and truly authentic. Everyhing we ordered came beautifully plated and all dishes were explained by our competent server. The only thing i would dare to criticize is the fact that there is only one restroom which is also mixed, yet very clean. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving high quality peruvian flavours or those who wish go try one of the worlds most renowned cuisine.

Extraordinary restaurant with falvourful meals and phenomenal fusion of peru and japanese food. Kind and courteous staff. The Pisco sour was too sweet and sour compared to the original drink I had in Peru.
