La Barca

This Vincafe and Antipasteria was a special hidden find. There are many little cafes along the water in Luzern. This one is part of a hotel and hidden inside a large covered portion of the walk way. Inside the place is tiny. There is some seating along the window and wooden bar. You feel like you have stepped back into time when you walk inside. You can watch the staff as they hand cut the meat in a manual meat slicer for the meat and cheese plates that are very popular here. There is a large selection of wine to choose from as well. There is more outdoor seating than you can find inside. The outdoor seating has been set up to enjoy anytime during the year. It is covered, and there are candles lit in the evening, coaches and comfy chairs are abundant. Blankets are available to wrap yourself in and hot spots for cold days. You can even grab a fake wool coat to wrap yourself in as well. All this with a view of the water. It could be a very romantic spot in the evening for a nice drink and apero. We just ordered coffees in the late afternoon, but I definitely was getting hungry looking at all the meat and cheese trays. This place was also very packed. A bonus was the bathrooms, you definitely have to check them out. They have the old fashioned porcelain painted sinks and toilets with the pull flush chain. Not to be missed!
