The story

Luciole Restaurant La Chaux-de-Fonds – Sustainable Fine Dining in Switzerland

Two pairs of hands, one meticulous selection

At Luciole Restaurant in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the kitchen is run by just two people. This small scale is intentional: the team believes that “small is beautiful.” The result is a refined, sustainable gastronomic experience that changes every month.

The menu is built around the best local ingredients, sourced from a short list of exceptional suppliers in the region. Luciole holds a BioSuisse certificate, and the philosophy is “from garden to table” – a celebration of Swiss and British roots. The tasting menus are entirely plant-based, with no animal ingredients. Guests can choose between a 10-step Discovery Menu and a 14-step Sonnet du Terroir Menu.

The restaurant seats only a limited number of diners, ensuring an intimate experience. The commitment to sustainability extends beyond the plate: Luciole uses responsible cleaning products and aims for a zero-waste, closed-loop system. The team also supports local social and cultural entities.

This dedication to quality and environmental responsibility has earned Luciole a place in the Michelin guide, recognized as a Recommended restaurant. It is a place where gastronomy and ecology meet, offering a truly unique dining experience in the heart of La Chaux-de-Fonds.
