Blu is an upscale Italian restaurant and lounge next to Lido di Locarno, known for its diverse menu spanning sushi, seafood, pizza, and well-labelled vegan dishes like chickpea "meatballs" and avocado tartare. The venue features a spacious terrace with lake views and offers attentive and professional service, though vegan portion sizes are sometimes described as small and prices are on the higher end. The menu includes a separate plant-based section, yet some reviews mention occasional issues with vegan labeling accuracy and the lack of plant-based milk for coffee.
