Brasserie Bodu
Zurich
At a glance
Brasserie Bodu is a French restaurant at Kornmarkt 5 in Lucerne, with the straightforward character associated with a brasserie. Its offer centres on French cuisine, making it a suitable address for diners looking for a meal shaped by French culinary traditions rather than a narrowly defined specialty.
The restaurant also places wine at an important part of its identity. Bordeaux is highlighted alongside the broader wine offering, giving the venue a clear connection to one of France’s best-known wine regions. The combination of French food and a Bordeaux-oriented wine selection creates a natural fit for leisurely meals, whether for lunch, dinner or an occasion centred on the bottle as much as the plate.
Brasserie Bodu has a strong emphasis on food prepared in-house. The restaurant is certified according to the criteria of Label Fait Maison for largely homemade dishes and food. That certification supports a kitchen approach focused on preparation within the restaurant, while the menu remains grounded in the accessible format of a brasserie.
The venue’s character extends beyond the kitchen and cellar. Concerts form part of its programme, adding a cultural element to the dining experience. This makes Brasserie Bodu relevant both to diners seeking French food and to those interested in combining a restaurant visit with live music. Its spaces can also accommodate different types of dining occasions, although arrangements for a particular group or event should be confirmed directly with the restaurant.
Brasserie Bodu also states a commitment to sustainable business practices and to developing its operation in that direction. For travellers coming from Zurich, Lucerne offers a change of setting while keeping the restaurant visit focused on French brasserie dining, wine and occasional concerts. The restaurant opens from 11:00 to midnight from Sunday to Friday and from 09:00 to midnight on Saturdays. Kitchen service runs daily from 12:00 to 22:00, so early or late visits fall outside the stated kitchen hours.
