About Bodu
Bodu is worth keeping on the Lucerne shortlist for flexible Old Town timing, especially when dinner runs late or plans change. It is a practical convenience pick rather than a destination restaurant, so compare it with Des Balances for a clearer occasion meal or Mill'Feuille and Mamma Leone for casual alternatives.
Bodu in Lucerne is useful when the priority is a place with clearly published daily hours rather than a venue defined by verified awards, a named chef, or a documented cuisine focus. Consider it for convenience and a direct Lucerne stop; choose another dining room if the occasion depends on a specific culinary identity, confirmed accolades, or a documented splurge factor.
Best used as a flexible Lucerne option
The main reason to consider Bodu is practical: its verified hours cover every day of the week, with opening times listed through midnight. This is not the page to over-read into awards, tasting menus, or a named chef, because none of those signals are verified here. The useful verdict is narrower: if the group wants a Lucerne venue with broad day-to-day availability, Bodu is easier to understand from the verified facts than a harder-to-read venue with fewer practical cues.
For visitors, the value is logistical rather than based on documented culinary depth. Lucerne has other restaurants with different styles and atmospheres, but Bodu's published schedule gives it a clear role when travel timing slips. Treat it as an easy, low-friction option, not necessarily the meal around which to design a full Lucerne itinerary.
Late hours are the main reason to keep it on the list
The schedule is the clearest advantage: Bodu is listed from 11 AM to 12 AM Monday through Friday and Sunday, with an earlier 9 AM opening on Saturday. That makes it useful for later plans or evenings when you do not want to rush. The verified dress code is smart casual, so it is still worth arriving put together rather than treating it as a purely informal stop.
Booking difficulty is not verified, so plan ahead if timing matters, especially for a larger party or a busy Lucerne evening. For another Lucerne option, Des Balances may be worth comparing, you can also look at Mill'Feuille, Mamma Leone, Jazzkantine zum Graben, or La Bonne Cave Luzern depending on the kind of outing you want.
Quick reference: choose Bodu for Lucerne convenience, smart-casual dress, late verified hours; look elsewhere if you need a highly defined cuisine, confirmed awards signal, or fully documented special-occasion format.

How it compares in Lucerne
Bodu is the easiest recommendation when timing matters more than a defined culinary brief. Its central Kornmarkt location and late hours make it a practical fallback for travelers who need flexibility. Des Balances is the stronger choice for a more formal meal, with Classic Cuisine and a €€€ tier, but it asks for a clearer commitment on spend and occasion.
For casual Old Town cross-shopping, Mill'Feuille and Mamma Leone are better comparisons than fine-dining peers. Pick Bodu when the group is prioritizing easy timing and a central meeting point; look at those alternatives when the meal itself needs a more specific identity.
Jazzkantine zum Graben and La Bonne Cave Luzern are worth checking if ambiance is the deciding factor. Bodu's edge is convenience, while Des Balances is the clearer special-occasion option and the others make more sense when the room or format matters more than late-night utility.
