Determined to Try Brunch Around the World | Must-Visit Buffet Brunch
đ Ambiance: A Cozy Community CafĂ© by the Train Station Melissa's Kitchen, nestled in a Lucerne residential area, is just a 3-minute walk from the main train station. Itâs super convenient even if youâre dragging your luggage! đ No tourist hustle and bustle hereâwhen you step inside, it feels like youâre joining a local Sunday gathering. With its rustic wooden decor, the aroma wafting from the open kitchen, and the greenery and handcrafted pottery, itâs like stepping into a cozy Swiss neighborâs kitchen! đ„§ đł Food: Organic Farm Sunday Party In Switzerland, many cafes and restaurants offer weekend brunch buffets, which seems to be a local weekend tradition. Each place has its own unique take, with some even only offering buffet brunches and no Ă la carte options. But here, you can choose between buffet or Ă la carte. We were immediately drawn to the buffet table as soon as we entered, even though we had originally planned to try their signature bagels. Once seated, we couldnât resist going for the buffet! đ„Ș The Swiss take âfreshnessâ seriously, and this place is all about local organic ingredients! đ„ą Must-try dishes: Here are the top 5 recommendations! - Smoked Salmon đ: Rich in fat with a subtle fruity wood aroma! Served on crispy bread with sour cream for a salty and creamy explosion! đ„ - Scrambled Eggs đł: Creamy and silky smoothâbetter than any five-star hotel! - Bread Station đ„: Sourdough, whole wheat, and nut breads are freshly baked. You can slice them yourself, then toast them in a bread machine. Pair them with their homemade jams or cheeses for an experience thatâs finger-licking good! - Organic Salad Bar đ„: Choose from a variety of seasonal vegetables. Highly recommend arugula with roasted pumpkin and goat cheese, and the dressing is super refreshing! - Dessert Cabinet đ°: The Swiss truly have a knack for desserts! The lemon tart is tangy and refreshing, while the chocolate lava cake has a molten center thatâs out of this world. Try a quarter slice of each in a sampler platter! âïž Coffee Specials: Obscure Beans + Heavenly Pairings - Pour-Over Latte âïž: Made with carefully selected and roasted beans, featuring citrus acidity and a caramel finish. Paired with oat milk, itâs simply divine! đ° Value for Money: A Breath of Fresh Air in Swiss Buffets! At an average of 35 CHF per person (â250 RMB), with kids at half price, you get unlimited smoked salmon and dessert. Compared to restaurant prices in tourist areas, this feels like a charity event! đ đ Hidden Story: The Chefâs Obsession and Warmth Melissa, the owner, was once the sous chef at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Geneva. After quitting, she has remained committed to the philosophy that âcraftsmanship is the soulââfermenting her own bread, simmering jams for 3 hours, and even sourcing local farm fish for her smoked salmon! One bite, and youâll understand her dedication. â€ïž #Switzerland #Europe #Travel #Lucerne #Foodie #Coffee #Brunch
