The best bistros and brasseries Lausanne

Rather banal from the outside, the Byblos, a Spanish restaurant bar, radiates a warm atmosphere once the door has gone, and the kitchen is very good. Hot sandwiches, but also salads, tapas, pasta and meat. Terrace on the sidewalk in summer.

The setting? A reminder of a Parisian bistro with its wooden benches, straight out of another era, originally installed in railway stations. We've taken care of the decor! You can enjoy a good old-fashioned entrecôte-frites, tartare, rib-eye steak, sausage, marrow bone, flank steak or Zurich veal, all washed down with a fine wine. The restaurant combines French and Vaudois cuisine. A large terrace takes over the sidewalk in fine weather, so you can soak up the sun and enjoy your meal at the same time.

The Brasserie de la Riviera, formerly the Café de la Gare at the end of the 19th^century , is the only restaurant in Ouchy to have retained its authenticity. Since March 2012, the place has been refurbished, but regulars have insisted on keeping the furniture that gives it that old-fashioned bistro spirit! Traditional brasserie cuisine is served, but unfortunately it doesn't always live up to the surroundings. The welcome is also rather cold, perhaps because the clientele is mainly tourists. To help you out..

The name is not misleading: the beers are brewed on the spot: lager, darker, amber! A must for many people in Lausanne, this brewery offers a wide variety of quality cuisine. It has built its reputation on its flammekueches, but also with its sauerkraut served all year round, its tartars and its hamburgers. Every day the dish of the day offers a culinary surprise. The warm atmosphere of this place of meeting and conviviality is to be programmed during a visit of Lausanne.

A traditional brasserie that takes us back in time with old photos of Lausanne hanging on the walls. Beautiful light wood design. In the basement, a carnotzet allows you to taste cheese specialties in a typical setting. You can enjoy all the traditional "caquelons du vigneron" cuisine, where you cook the meat in red wine. The menu is rich: fondues, cheese crusts, röstis, malakoff, meats, lake fish, sauerkraut, sausages, papets vaudois, you name it! The choice is wide.

The Café Romand is the heir to the golden age of the great Lausanne brasseries, and one of the last authentic pints in the canton of Vaud. Sitting in a typical wooded setting of yesteryear, you will enjoy traditional dishes as well as omelettes, sandwiches and soups. The Café Romand, which has existed since 1951, is an institution in Lausanne. The service could be more pleasant, but its roughness is part of the décor! Its large bay window illuminates this old painting with a thousand lights to add a pleasant touch of modernity.
