Beyond private functions, the restaurant organises special culinary events such as wine and dine evenings, book readings, and even programmes to introduce children to gastronomy.

Schenkon and Lake Sempach

OX’n is located in the quiet Lucerne village of Schenkon, overlooking Lake Sempach with the Alps as a backdrop. The setting is ideal for a countryside escape yet easy to reach thanks to excellent motorway connections. Visitors can explore the Römerweg trail, enjoy lakeside walks or cycle routes, and visit nearby wineries. The tranquil surroundings pair naturally with the restaurant’s relaxed but refined character, making it an attractive destination for both locals and travellers seeking a mix of culinary discovery and the beauty of the Swiss landscape.

Modern Design, Warm Atmosphere

Built on the site of the former Ochsen inn, OX’n is striking in its architecture. Expansive glass walls create an airy, transparent space that blends modern design with the warmth of a Swiss chalet. Inside, the atmosphere is stylish yet relaxed, with two floors of dining, a lively bar, and a sunlit terrace. The combination of contemporary architecture, professional but friendly service, and a young team dedicated to quality makes OX’n stand out in the Central Swiss dining scene as both a fine-dining destination and a convivial meeting place.

We want guests to enjoy fine dining without formality. Good food, good wine, and an atmosphere that feels both modern and familiar.
