When you say Switzerland, I bet the first thing that comes to your mind is fondue.
Here's just a quick run down of the food we tried in Switzerland.
While we were walking along the streets of Lucerne we bumped into a few well-dressed young crowd whom were assuming is out to go clubbing or partying. The city is very clean and even if it's dark out already we feel very safe walking out in the street (as opposed to Paris where you have to always watch out for gypsies).
After a lot of stops along the way we finally found an outdoor restaurant (we are suckers for outdoor dining). The restaurant was packed and we figured if it's packed, it must be good. The place is called Pfistern.

We asked for a table for two and we were seated immediately and we were esch given a blanket and a hot glass water bottle to put on our lap. We thought that was a very good touch because it did got a little chilly as we got near the water. Although, we really don't know if all restaurants in Switzerland do that since we only got to try one place.
Anyhow, we weren't really hungry so we just ordered a cheese fondue. Someone from the next table who are locals and who can speak English suggested we get the Gorgonzola cheese which we did. After a few minutes our cheese fondue came, along with a warm sack of cute tiny potatoes (that i think is called dutch marbles baby potatoes) and some tiny pieces of bread. We were ecstatic! We were eating fondue. Switzerland's national dish and guess where? in Switzerland no less! Yeah, yeah, we get easily excited over small things. Haha.
After we're done eating, we took more photos and back to our hotel we went. We had an early start the next day so we need all the rest we can get. Oh, by the way, we didn't like the taste of the Gorgonzola fondue. I love the Gorgonzola crackers of Trader Joe's but only because it's in small amounts. Having Gorgonzola as a fondue is a different story. It has a very strong taste to it.
