Based on a mention in a travel guide we decided to hunt down Al Portone in Lugano. That said, we were hungry so if after a few circles of the area we did not see it, we would have just winged it on the waterfront -- I am glad the third time was a charm and we spotted it on...

When you enter the restaurant, you really feel welcome. They speak italien, french, english, ... so you really feel like home. Also, they're very discrete.

Elegant, relaxed, fine dining, excellent service and beautifully presented dishes. Michelin star quality, but this comes at Michelin star cost! We understand that this restaurant is closing at the end of 2011 and moving to a country house environment in Valombroso.
