The best restaurants Vevey

Le Carré takes its name from its magnificent terrace (square, of course!) which overlooks the lake and offers you a panoramic view of all the surroundings. In addition to this, we especially appreciate the concept of this place which unites on one side the coffee and tea room area throughout the day, on the other side the brasserie open for lunch and dinner and, just below, the cocktail bar. The brewery's dishes are Belgian-inspired (Flemish carbonnade, fried mussels or waffles), with good beers too. To top it all off, the welcome is charming.

In a sober setting, with dark furnishings and a Japanese fresco, Ichioshi offers a fine range of sushi, prepared by a Japanese chef. Good value for money. You can also enjoy seaweed or squid salads and a very good miso soup. The chef's bowls are also highly appreciated, offering a wide variety of chirashis: salmon, tuna, mixed or veggi. As the restaurant cannot accommodate large numbers, reservations are recommended. You can also take away or eat on the terrace.

On Mont Pèlerin, the Hotel Mirador Resort & Spa offers one of the most beautiful terraces with a panoramic view of the Vevey-Montreux region. At sunset, it's simply magical. A gastronomic journey and a culinary experience with the undisputed talent of Chef Thomas Perez await you. Le Patio serves refined cuisine that changes with the seasons, highlighting products from local suppliers and the work of winegrowers. Service is as elegant and refined as the place itself.

A traditional restaurant that proves you can be rustic and still have style! Over a crust or fondue (served with a military march and Swiss flag... be prepared to hear military music more than once in the evening!), customers of all ages gather at Les Trois Sifflets. It's said that the name of this pint refers to the three whistles that the first manager heard every day at 11 a.m.: the train, the boat and then his own, to warn his wife and daughters that it was time to get cooking!

Spend a moment of your day in this lively bar - it's a real cure for optimism! Housed in the Tralala Hôtel, a turn-of-the-century mansion, the bar is transformed by the hour. In the morning, you wake up to an energetic, vitamin-packed breakfast; for lunch, you can nibble on pizza by the meter; for snacks, you can indulge in excellent homemade seasonal pastries; and in the evening, you can enjoy a more festive aperitif with local wines. Club in the evening

A mazot is a miniature chalet, often the annex to a larger cottage. So, this traditional bistroquet, all wood and length, with chairs on one side and benches on the other, seems to have come straight down from the mountains. The small windows give the illusion of being in an alpine chalet, with the old coffee grinders, cheese churns... In this rustic setting, regulars come mainly for the meat, including the famous horse steak with mazot sauce, but also for cheese dishes such as the excellent röstis.

A very typical address run by a group of efficient and friendly jokers. The terrace overlooks Quai Perdonnet, the lake and, of course, the giant fork planted in the water that gives the restaurant its name and is the emblem of Vevey. This fork in front of the Alimentarium certainly inspires the chef, who offers an original cuisine with masterful flavors and meticulous presentation. It's beautiful and it's good from starter to dessert. Lovely terrace and beautiful interior. Attentive service.

Two restaurants within the hotel, Le Trois C offers Alpine gastronomy based on local produce, and Le Manabu revisits Japanese cuisine. The beauty of the panorama combines with the excellence of the cuisine. When the weather's fine, you can dine on the terrace overlooking the sublime panorama of the lake and the Alps on the French side, or in the simple, perfectly elegant Art Deco luxury, for pure moments of happiness in a truly unique setting.

In Vevey's pedestrian street, the Aladin restaurant is a well-known address among local residents. In a magnificent setting worthy of the Arabian Nights, Ahmad Bahadli has been serving Moroccan, Lebanese and even Iraqi specialities for twelve years. By day, the atmosphere is friendly and sunny. In the evening, candles on the tables make for a more intimate atmosphere. After a starter of hummus and couscous or tagine, there's nothing better than settling down on a pouffe with your hookah and enjoying a light digestion.

An excellent kebab! Once in Scanavin Square, you can't miss the little white Syrian tent. Set up here in both winter and summer, it adjoins the restaurant's small dining room. Inside, the warm welcome of manager Ahmad Badawi, the spices and chichas transport us to the Middle East. Excellent value for money. For dessert, you'll be spoilt for choice, as the display case abounds with pastries, not forgetting to accompany them with the traditional glass of mint tea that we're so pleased to enjoy in the Middle East.

Michelin-starred chef Denis Martin is an enthusiast of molecular cuisine. After fifty-three years behind the stove, the chef is retiring in 2024. If you'd like to sample his cuisine, you'd better hurry! To dine here is to witness experiments. On the first floor of this historic Vevey house, Denis Martin combines chemistry, sensory surprise, taste and visual shift with virtuosity. The presentation is stunning, the flavors surprising. The menus offer a multitude of discoveries. In summer, a lovely lakeside terrace.

Looking for the atmosphere of a pinte vaudoise? This is the real neighborhood bistro, with no fuss but high standards when it comes to the quality of the food. The Café Central, run by chef Nocente and his wife Stefania, prepares delicious southern Italian specialities: orecchiette with cime di rapa and fresh fennel sausage, fresh tuna meatballs stuffed with caciocavallo and a tiramisu from the competition's mamma, all enjoyed behind lace curtains and under tulip shades. Authentic and self-assured!

An institution in Vevey. Time for an original, healthy and affordable sandwich. Located on the Place du Marché, this sandwich shop is just the thing if you're feeling a little peckish. The concept: made-to-measure sandwiches, made on the spot with fresh products. You can choose from about 20 fillings (meat, fish, vegetarian...) and 9 sauces. We also serve some hot sandwiches and, from time to time, salads. Possibility to eat on the spot and on the terrace, but being so close to the lake, eating a sandwich with your feet in the water is tempting!

Built in a former chapel, the café-restaurant de la Valsainte opened its doors in 1890. This venerable bistro in the heart of the old town welcomes both regulars and visiting fans of traditional cuisine. Typical Vaud brasserie fare, but also delicious Lake Geneva perch fillets, old-fashioned dishes such as calf's head with vinaigrette, pig's trotters in Madeira, old-fashioned veal kidneys... Not to be missed: an amusing bowling alley at the back of the bistro.

This is where Jean-Jacques Rousseau stayed in 1731. From its window, it could see Madame de Warens' house… an historic side that brings charm to this very simple establishment. It's a genuine, authentic, rustic pinte, where you eat well, including "Rousseau Way" or meldue.

On the Vaud Riviera, in a former art gallery, La Galerie offers an enchanting setting and view of Lake Geneva, with a magnificent terrace. Favoring local producers and lake fish, chef Jérémie Cordier, rated 15/20 by Gault & Millau, transforms dishes into works of art, fusing flavors, textures and colors. The plate becomes a canvas on which the chef expresses his creativity. Every mouthful is a gustatory voyage.

L'Esprit par Guy Ravet, in Vevey, offers a cuisine that harmoniously combines tradition and innovation. Chef Guy Ravet puts his expertise to work to create colorful, artistic dishes using local, seasonal ingredients. His passion, creativity and audacity shine through in every bite. The restaurant offers contrasting atmospheres, from the bright veranda to the sunny terrace overlooking Lake Geneva.
