Minamo showcases traditional Japanese omakase-style dining, and Colonnade offers contemporary French haute cuisine.
The addition of Minamo and Colonnade is set to make this superior five-star hotel one of the most exciting dining destinations in Switzerland. And to celebrate, the hotel is offering an enticing Culinary Moments package.
Minamo: an enchanting and unforgettable experience
Bringing the first omakase restaurant to the city of Lucerne, Minamo’s exclusive Japanese fine dining is led by Chef Toshiro San in an intimate atmosphere, seating eight guests.
The name Minamo, which translates from Japanese as “reflections on the water”, refers to the hotel’s beautiful location.
Omakase means “chef’s selection menu”: guests trust the chef to choose and craft dishes, surprising them with his menu – creating a very special and unique experience.
Chef Toshiro has a high-level commitment to deliver excellent Japanese cuisine, using outstanding ingredients, including local Swiss specialities as well as produce from Japan.
His dishes are designed to reflect the rhythm of the seasons while also celebrating Japanese food culture. Chef Toshiro looks forward to preparing dishes such as Chawanmushi with Shiitake, delighting guests as they watch him perform his culinary magic.
As he explains, "Omakase is not just about food; it's also about the interaction between chef and guest."
Colonnade: fine dining re-imagined
Guests can marvel at the spectacular lakeside setting at Colonnade while enjoying modern French haute cuisine from Executive Chef Gilad Peled and his team, paired with the very best fine wines recommended by Head Sommelier, Moritz Dresing.
With 16 years of experience delivering exquisite gastronomy, Chef Gilad wants guests to have an unforgettable experience.
The restaurant’s stunning design blends the grandeur of the Belle Époque era with modern warmth and simplicity, and the ambience is one of elegance as well as joie de vivre.
"Our dishes, the atmosphere, the service, the wines: everything is intertwined. We want our guests to feel at home, that we are cooking for them as our friends not strangers,” says Chef Gilad, who learned his sense of hospitality from his mentor and chef of a three-star London restaurant, Clare Smyth.
The natural beauty surrounding Lake Lucerne provides the inspiration for the menus. Focusing on regional specialities and local seasonal highlights, each dish is a culinary work of art. Feast on the signature dish, Turbot with Seaweed Beurre Blanc, or relish finest-quality chicken from Switzerland‘s Alpstein region. Truly delicious!
Minamo is open from 7 April, Friday to Tuesday from 6.30pm. An eight-course dinner is priced at CHF180 with sake pairing at CHF150
Colonnade will be open from 19 April, Wednesday to Sunday, 6.30pm to 8.30pm. A nine-course dinner is priced from CHF240 with wine pairing from CHF180.
The Culinary Moments package is available from 19 April to 18 June 2023 and includes:
- a refreshing welcome drink
- daily buffet breakfast for up to two people, served in our restaurant overlooking the shimmering Lake Lucerne
- a CHF150 dining credit per stay to be used for all culinary experiences (except Minamo)
- a surprise culinary gift to take home
- additional benefits available when you log in to or join Fans of M.O.
