The story
At Beaufort in Brunnen, Chef Werner Maus brings decades of passion to the stove. The trained chef and wine specialist creates daily, unique compositions that delight the palate. His cooking is rooted in Mediterranean and seafood traditions, with a focus on freshness and balance.
The ground-floor à-la-carte restaurant sits directly on the shores of Lake Lucerne. Guests dine in a refined yet relaxed setting, with a dreamy sun terrace that overlooks the water. The atmosphere is one of quiet elegance – steamships glide past, seagulls call over the harbour, and the waves of the Vierwaldstättersee lap gently against the shore.
The modern-classic interior is equally suited for a business lunch, a varied midday meal with friends, or a private celebration in an intimate setting. The restaurant also offers its own boat moorings, making arrival by water as spontaneous as it is charming.
Beaufort’s recognition in the Michelin guide – currently listed as Recommended – underscores the consistent quality and creativity found here. It is a place where the lake, the light, and the plate come together naturally, without fuss or pretence.
