“ Braceria Elvetica is a true gem for steak lovers. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with a warm, inviting atmosphere and attentive, professional service. The staff are knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what they do, offering helpful recommendations without being pushy. The steaks are the highlight—expertly grilled, full of flavor, and incredibly tender. I had the ribeye, which was perfectly cooked and simply melted in my mouth. The sides, especially the truffle mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables, were the ideal complement. Their wine list is well-curated and pairs beautifully with the menu. Braceria Elvetica combines top-quality food with outstanding service in a cozy, stylish setting. Whether it’s a special occasion or just a night out, it’s absolutely worth a visit. ”
“ Was at Lugano for a few days in Jan and came across this great restaurant. If you are a steak lover, this is a must go restaurant. Well grilled tender juicy steak, nice ambience with great wine selection and great company, what more can you ask for?. The steak portion was quite huge and minimum per serving is 200g. The sauce and side dish will need to be ordered separately. Although a bit pricey but worth the price and don’t forget to order the truffle fries and complete the meal with a dessert (recommend the cheese cake). Would like to come back here if I am back in Switzerland next time. ”
