The story
At Bayts in Lucerne, every bite is an experience, every gathering a pleasure. The restaurant describes itself as a place for “natural, young cuisine” that puts enjoyment at the centre. Using consciously selected, seasonal and local ingredients, the team creates purely plant-based dishes prepared with love and precision.
The kitchen celebrates the diversity of nature. The current menu reads like a tasting journey through vegetables, herbs and grains: Hefe-Weizen with cucumber and jalapeño, black garlic with fennel, kohlrabi with lemon and herbs, carrot with mustard and buckwheat, tomato with basil and chickpeas, pak choi with sweet potato and rosemary, apricot with almond and thyme. An additional course features cauliflower with chilli and lime. All dishes are vegan, and the restaurant’s tag “Vegan” confirms this commitment.
Bayts is open Tuesday to Saturday from 18:00, making it a dinner destination with late opening hours. The space also offers outdoor seating and can host private parties. The atmosphere is relaxed yet refined, matching the modern cuisine on the plate.
The restaurant earned a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026, a nod to its consistent quality and innovative plant-based approach. Bayts also engages with its community through events like “Bites & Beats” and a non-alcoholic drink workshop. Press coverage, including a feature in Gourmet Stern, underscores its growing reputation.
For those seeking a modern, plant-based dining experience that highlights local and seasonal produce, Bayts delivers a memorable evening in Lucerne.
