Maihöfli by UniQuisine

Maihöfli by UniQuisine is a Michelin Guide restaurant at Maihofstrasse 70 in the Maihof district of Luzern, Switzerland, north of the city centre. It occupies a historic building from 1896 and reopened in 2023 under chef Robert Steuri. The cuisine is modern Swiss, presented through tasting menus. In the evening the kitchen offers three-, five- or seven-course menus, each available with fish, meat or vegan alternatives, which makes it one of the more flexible fine-dining options in the city for plant-based diners. At weekday lunch the format is a two-course Easy Lunch, the more economical way to experience the kitchen. The dining room combines the character of the 1896 building with a refined, calm atmosphere; noise is low, service is attentive, and the setting suits celebrations and considered dinners more than casual drop-ins. Dress is smart casual to smart. Prices are in the top bracket ($$$$) for the tasting menus. A third-party listing gives hours of Wednesday to Saturday, lunch 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM and dinner 6:30 to 11:00 PM, but these should be verified on +41 41 420 60 60. Reservation is essential; the number above is the booking line, and evenings, particularly Fridays and Saturdays, should be reserved well ahead. The Maihof district is residential and quieter than the old town, so visitors travelling from the centre should allow for the short journey. The drinks programme is built to accompany the tasting menus, and guests can ask the staff about pairings when booking. For a first visit, the Easy Lunch gives a lower-commitment taste of the cooking, while the seven-course menu offers the fullest picture of the kitchen.
