Aux Merveilleux by Fred in Lucerne is a must-visit bakery for families exploring the city’s charming Old Town. Located at Hirschenplatz in a beautifully preserved 14th-century building adorned with a fresco, this French-inspired patisserie offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. Visitors can sit outdoors to take in the lively pedestrian square or enjoy the cozy indoor space filled with the scent of freshly baked treats. Everything is handmade on-site, from delicate meringues and buttery croissants to soft, rich brioches.
We loved the chocolate cramique brioche—filled with melting chocolate pieces and still warm in the morning—an instant family favorite. Other options include brioche with raisins, meringues in various flavors, and crisp waffles with sweet fillings. Whether you’re starting your day with breakfast or taking a coffee break while sightseeing, this Lucerne bakery is an ideal stop in the heart of the Old Town. Go early, as the most popular pastries often sell out. For more places to eat in Lucerne and family-friendly activities, click here.
