Lucerne was our first time in Switzerland, a country Tom and I have both wanted to visit. It was another chance to experience something new together.

Our hotel, the Hotel Wilden Mann, was in the city center of Lucerne and was built over 500 years ago! What? America is half the age of this place. The history hung on every wall and seeped from every corner. I don’t think I’ve ever wanted a tour of my accommodations, until here. I can only imagine the stories hidden in these halls.

We were happy for cold weather since the hotel has no air conditioning.

By the time we checked in we were famished.

Our hotel recommended a restaurant right around the corner, Wirtshaus Taube. We checked it out and couldn’t resist the charm welcoming us to Lucerne. Besides it was raining and we wanted a dry cozy place to fill our empty stomachs.

This is the dish I ordered and it was delicious!

While I didn’t order the following, I wished I had. This is on my list of recipes to try at home. I did some research and found this recipe on the Once Upon a Foodblog site.

Foodie Fridays are making me hungry. I must try this recipe soon and share the results with you.
