What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Manor Restaurant Lugano-Centro is lauded for its extensive variety of food options, including pizza, pasta, and fresh items, making it a convenient and relatively affordable choice in Switzerland. While many appreciate the sheer volume and the family-friendly atmosphere with a playground, some find the quality inconsistent for the price, particularly for dishes like pizza and pasta. The buffet-style self-service is a hallmark, offering a fun experience for those looking for a quick and diverse meal.
"We loved it! Prices are expensive, but for Switzerland still affordable, you can choose pizza, pasta, poké, meat, fish, lemonades, salads, deserts, coffee, this place offers it all. At the end you pay for what you choose."
Bia Nka
"A perfectly decent dinner option, some portions are very large (a pizza could easily be shared by two or three). Maybe slightly lower quality compared to a Whole Foods (US) hot bar. Less expensive than almost anything in the immediate area. Many food options when fully operating but they will expand or reduce operations depending on the time and day."
Joel Rosenbaum
"This cafeteria style of restaurant offers an overwhelming selection. Initially I was overcome by the vast options but then I saw one of the cooks serving a dish of meatballs. Decession made. Their soup selection called me. The layout and presentation of the available dishes are striking. This place is worth a visit at least once just for the experience. I would visit here again. On a negative note the mens bathroom needs attention. Look at the pictures. Not a good look. The management of this establishment should take immediate action to correct the deficiencies."

Sometimes when travelling all you need is something easy and quick and Manor Restaurant ticks both of these boxes in a predictable way.
