A traditional restaurant serving the best of Swiss, German and French cuisine. The cozy interior of Lugano Swiss Bistro, with its wood-paneled walls adorned with Swiss decorations, whimsical mural and checkered tablecloths, transports the diner into a chalet high in the Alps.The Legacy of Chef André Lengacher’s culinary magic completes the picture with the unique and robust flavors of his native country. Call for reservations (831) 626-3779 to experience our location in The Barnyard Shopping Village located at 3670 The Barnyard, Carmel-By-The-Sea, CA 93923.

We would like you to experience the culinary variety of our menu. We hope that you brought some time and good company with you to experience our little chalet and outdoor heated patio.

We use only the best ingredients to make our own dressing, sauces and desserts in the kitchen. Lugano’s can accommodate groups of nearly any size. You can rent out the entire restaurant or have your special occasion catered at a location of your choice.

The menu was created under the culinary direction of Chef Andre Lengacher, who was one of the finest award-winning Chefs of Europe. He always said, “Cooking is not only a profession, but also an art.”

Nargis Lengacher has spent her life in the hospitality industry, first in Kenya, then around the world. A multilingual hostess, she delights in creating a wonderful dining experience for an evening of lasting memories. She says, “Arrive as a guest, leave as a friend.”
