Volver - Café Tapas Vinos — Restaurant in Lucerne

Authentic Spanish tapas restaurant! The owner speaks Spanish and also with the staff under each other. They are very helpful, friendly and honest in helping to choose the dishes. For 2 persons there are 4-5 different tapas enough to become full. The owner is very honest on the portion size and gives recommendation how much to choose. We thought to take 2 empanadas each however with the other 4 tapas the owner admitted that it might be too much so we only took 1 each and it was perfect. The Chorizo is worth to be tried not only for the taste but also the show. The sauce is topped with brandy which will be ignited at your table. My wife who lived some time in Spain immediately said that it’s the best Chorizo she ever tried. Each and every bite is a pure pleasure of taste in your mouth and combined with the sauce an unparalleled harmony. You can easily let some ingredients be left out e.g. peperoncini on the shrimps. The cocktails are very refreshing and I can recommend the Volver Sin which is fruity, exotic and sweet but also the Sangria Light is very mouth-watering. The culinary highlight is underlined with Spanish music. This restaurant is a perfect place for a brief Spanish escape and to quickly satisfy your culinary...

The food was delicious. After eating mostly bread, cheese, and fruit for a few days of train travel, my family was happy to have a delicious sit-down meal. The salad and tortilla de patsy as was super yummy. The veggie empanadas were pretty good although tiny. The patatas bravado were okay. We’ve had better on not only Spain, obviously, but in California.

Sadly, I must give this establishment a 2-star review for the poor customer service. Our waitstaff seemed upset that we didn’t have a reservation which I completely understand, she could have turned us away and we would have been fine. However, she begrudgingly sat us down as if we were an inconvenience. I get it, some days you’re not in the mood to deal with travelers. The biggest upset of the night was when we got our bill. We were charged 11CHF for tap water (4 liters). When I asked about it, she said she had to charge us for the tap water because we didn’t order an alcoholic drink. Since I was traveling with my teen children and I had to get us back to the hotel safely, I couldn’t order a drink. She could have explained the restaurant’s policy before charging is 11CHF for tap water. Poor customer...

Awesome Spanish food; best meal of our trip. Chris, the owner, was a fantastic host and made sure our plates were constantly full and table was clear. Maria provided excellent wine recommendations and prompt service. The seafood paella was to die for. Our group was a party of 5, but we ordered a paella for 4 along with some tapas and we ate every single bite. The Pintxos were incredible and the tapas were amazing. We ordered the Patatas Bravas, Pulpo al chef, Bacalao a la Vizcaina, and Cordero con machego. All super super delicious, and the octopus was the most well cooked we'd ever had. This place is a must on your next trip to Lucerne or if you are...
