The restaurant Franz combines the imperial specialities of Viennese cuisine with the elegant appearance of the historically protected hall at Lucerne’s promenade. At the Franz the imperial flair is cultivated. The popular specialities, like Wiener Schnitzel and Tafelspitz are traditionally served. The menu is rounded with several popular meals and seasonal interpretations. Also the typical coffee-house culture of the imperial city is celebrated at the Franz. In the afternoons the restaurant turns into a traditional Viennese Coffee House. The showcase is full of cakes like Linzer, Sacher, Esterhazy and many more.
