A small, warm place in the red and yellow tones that offer all kinds of foccacie, these Italian sandwiches, which you can eat indoors on the terrace or enjoy at the edge of the lake. Since March 2012, the small downstairs room serves as a restaurant, offering naturally Italian dishes! Very kind and smiling servers.

PALATIAL BEAUTY

4.8/5

Anne-Sophie Pic, the celebrated French chef with three Michelin stars for her house in Valence, orchestrates a gastronomic table in this palace with her usual brio. When you order one of the menus, you'll savor an incredible array of dishes with exquisite flavors and surprising textures, and you won't be able to resist the impressive cheese cart. The menu changes with the seasons, and in fine weather you can enjoy the teak terrace overlooking the park and lake. One of Lausanne's finest restaurants. Cocorico!

Housed in a magnificent classic orangery, L'Esquisse has a resolutely modern interior design: dark parquet flooring, red walls, designer lampshades. Summer and winter alike, garden tables and chairs are set up on the terrace, in a peaceful atmosphere, far from the traffic. A cocoon of nature and a protected space to enjoy a fine cuisine thanks to the freshness and quality of the products, and always beautifully presented. Ideal after a visit to the Hermitage.

LES ALLIÉS

World cuisine restaurant
4.6/5
12 reviews

So, will it be for a coffee or, later on, an aperitif in the lovely little patio adorned with giant poppies, followed by dinner to keep the conversation going until noon and admire the art exhibition in the old bowling alley? Traditional cuisine is served, including beef onglet, risotto and seafood sauerkraut. Enjoy them in a cosy atmosphere in winter, or on the patio in fine weather. A charming bistro, indeed!

L'AO

World cuisine restaurant
5/5
1 review

This restaurant has a contemporary and stylish cachet with its orange walls and dark wood tables. It is a trendy restaurant-bar lounge that offers a rather Mediterranean and creative cuisine, with touches of coriander, ginger, coconut milk or curry sauce. Beautiful composition of the plate with quality products: whole boneless quail boned in a lemongrass pot-au-feu style. The chocolate fondant of the AO, served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, is "à tomber par terre"! Beautiful terrace in summer for a "bon vivant" atmosphere.

À LA BOSSETTE

World cuisine restaurant
5/5
1 review

What is a bossette? It's a small rolling barrel, the receptacle for grapes picked in the Terrasses de Lavaux. The name of this bistro pays homage to the terroir. While the establishment has been involved in various types of cuisine for the hundred years it has been open, it now devotes itself to flammekueches, those delicious Alsatian tarts with thin pastry and a base of onions, bacon and cream. You'll be able to decide on the composition before enjoying it washed down with a good craft beer! The atmosphere is just right.

AU CANARD PÉKINOIS

Chinese restaurant €€
4.5/5
2 reviews

Head for... Hong Kong! Below you, not the beach, but an "aquatic" path populated by koi carp, which according to feng shui, bring luck and prosperity to the area. Enjoy the delicacies of Cantonese cuisine, the restaurant's specialty, such as delicious dim sum accompanied, as tradition dictates, by China's finest teas. The establishment also specializes in making the famous Peking duck. During the day, take a break for a cup of tea: the menu is rich and the service excellent.

CHALET DES ENFANTS

World cuisine restaurant
4.3/5
3 reviews

This pretty 18th-century building, so dear to the hearts of Lausanne locals and where Coco Chanel loved to enjoy a slice of flan and a glass of milk, is a flagship address in this guide, which has preserved the soul of yesteryear in the spirit of a family home. Because this is above all a children's restaurant, a large blackboard invites them to give free rein to their creativity. Local cuisine is served, using fresh produce... but regulars come here especially for the delicious, all-you-can-eat weekend and holiday brunches.

BOCCALINO

Italian restaurant and pizzeria
4.6/5
21 reviews

With its light wood decor and bright rooms, this pizzeria offers gourmet or more classic pizzas, pasta and other traditional Italian dishes, making it a good stop-off for lunch in this area after, say, a visit to the Olympic Museum or a stroll along the lakeside quays between two parks. We've thought of everything, especially the children, with a corner dedicated to them, which is always good to know. The pizzas are good, and the service professional and welcoming. Recommended address.

4.9/5

En route to Kerala, in southern India... In the image of the country, it's a hymn to spices and unique flavors, and like all of India, an explosion of color in this fine establishment of Indian gastronomy. The range of spices is an invitation to travel, including cardamom, coconut, mango, ginger, saffron and tamarind, and the friendly staff are always ready to recommend the best meats in tandoori, tikka or massala sauce, accompanied by a delicious lentil daal. Delicious, recommended.

LE VIEUX LAUSANNE

World cuisine restaurant €€
4.8/5
18 reviews

At the foot of the cathedral, this pretty house with green shutters, classified as a historical monument, prepares classic inn-style cuisine, but also Scandinavian specialities. Two kitchens and a choice of two atmospheres (with identical menus): the brasserie, which is friendly but a little noisy, or the elegant corridor with a more intimate atmosphere. To top it all off, the reception is friendly and the terrace very pleasant in summer. The establishment also houses the Giraf bar (drinks and cocktails in a 1980s musical atmosphere).

ÄTA MANGER NORDIQUE

Swedish restaurant
4.9/5
16 reviews

Head for the Far North, for Nordic gastronomy and, in this case, Stockholm. If you're not exploring Scandinavia, you'll get a taste of it through its gastronomy and the establishment's setting, reminiscent of Swedish bistros. You're sure to enjoy some excellent specialties. Äta means "to eat" in Swedish, and you'll love it! You'll discover what smørrebrød "buttered bread" is: slices of rye bread topped with herring. Connoisseurs will appreciate the many variations of salmon gravlax.

Treat yourself to a little gastronomic extravagance - it's well worth it. A Michelin star, the restaurant of Lausanne's renowned École hôtelière is an ideal testing ground for young students. It is, as its name suggests, an empire of the senses, or almost: the beauty of the setting, opening onto a beautiful view of the mountains, the excellence of the service, the finesse of the presentation, the refinement of the dishes, which are constantly reinvented according to the seasons and the creativity of the team. The menu description is a journey through flavors. Recommended!

LA BAVARIA

World cuisine restaurant
4.4/5
16 reviews

Located on the steep Rue du Petit-Chêne, between the train station and Saint-François, this Munich brewery dates back to 1872 and is truly part of Lausanne's identity. It's a true Lausanne institution. In a wood-panelled décor, with carved Bavarian friezes, the waiters carry heavy trays of sauerkraut and mugs of beer. Note: often crowded and, as a result, noisy. In summer, the small wooden terrace is perfect for watching passers-by. Chef Geoffrey prepares seasonal cuisine all year round.

L'ACCADEMIA

4.5/5

A corner of Italy in the Hôtel d'Angleterre, a superb 18th-century building. In 1816, it played host to the sulphurous Lord Byron, famous poet and great defender of freedoms. Aromas, flavors, colors and freshness are the order of the day in this upscale Italian gastronomy restaurant. The bill can be high, even very high. In summer, take a seat on the terrace, where the panoramic view over the lake, as always, completes these moments of pure bliss, offering a real escape.
