Glass & GastronomyHergiswiler glass contains a truly unique

spark deep within. You think all glass is the same? Note even close: crystal – Hergiswiler

crystal in particular – is no ordinary glass. It is a material of great beauty and a refined

aesthetic.

At the Glasi-Restaurant, you can enjoy this special spark in combination with hearty

regional cooking.

«Glasi» HergiswilThe only glassworks in Switzerland

Glass has been made in Hergiswil since 1817. That was when the Siegwart brothers found an ideal

new production site at the foot of Mt. Pilatus.

Following serious economic problems, the Sieg-wart glassworks was threatened to close in 1975.

But the «Glasi-Lüüt» (all individuals related to the «Glasi»), the Hergiswil council and above all

Roberto Niederer managed to save it. Niederer put new life into the traditional craft and introduced

design principles that remain effective to the present day. Shortly before his death in 1988, his

son Robert took over as director of the Glasi. Robert Niederer has been running the company

ever since.

We «Glasi-Lüüt» wish you a delightful and relaxing visit to the «Glasi» Hergiswil.

«Landi» Restaurant & Tavern

The legendary «Landi», founded in 1939! Most of us weren’t around to witness this

impressive exhibition in person the first time around. But we can still experience

the ambience – at the «Adler» restaurant in Hergiswil.

«Glasi» Hall Seats 180

Our flexible banquet hall can be separated into three smaller spaces: «Möwe»,

«Buchwalder» and «Flugi». Each of these halls is one part of a very special story.

Welcome to the

Glasi-Restaurant «Adler» Hergiswil

This is a place where three legendary attractions show off their very best side: the «Glasi», the

«Adler» restaurant itself and the scenic beauty of central Switzerland and Lake Lucerne.

Since 1994, the Glasi-Restaurant «Adler» belongs to the «Glasi». At the the Glasi-Restaurant,

we stage surprisingly different interpretations of well-known classics and add a dash of fire to

your plate.

Our chefs smoke our fine Orkney salmon themselves, prepare fresh «Hacktätschli» (minced

meat burger) and swear by cordon bleu with «Urner» (Mountain-Kanton of Switzerland) cream

cheese, herb butter and farmer’s ham.

The Rotisserie «Glasi chicken» – crispy on the outside, tender on the inside – is as much a cult favourite as the «Adler» itself. You’ll love dishes

such as the juicy gourmet Swiss chicken, several of which are prepared fresh daily. Served

with an herby butter sauce and chips, it’s so good you’ll just have to hope it isn’t sold out by

the time you arrive.

Glasi-Restaurant Garden Terrace

We couldn’t be more centrally located in central Switzerland! Enjoy the beauty

of Lake Lucerne and watch the hustle and bustle on the nearby docks.

Seats 140.
