The delicious bistro fare on the blackboard is now complemented by a market-inspired "Menu du Marché", meaning flavoursome dishes are now served in both parts of the establishment. Just don't forget to leave room for dessert! On Friday and Saturday evenings, only a small selection is available.

In a seamless fusion of a cafe and a brasserie, Njørd Café adroitly rolls out a savvy mix of Scandinavian and Swiss delicacies. Wind down in the casual vibe as you savour finely crafted fare, underpinned by first-class produce that is always in tune with the seasons: lovage-flavoured hemlagade köttbullar (meatballs), carpaccio of veal with pine nuts and black garlic, smörgås (sandwiches) of North Sea shrimp… The buzzy, verdant terrace is a hit in fine weather. Weekend brunches and other regular events further enhance the establishment’s appeal. The Hemma Hotel provides minimalist, tastefully d

The success of the restaurant, which was first awarded three stars in the 1994 MICHELIN Guide, began with Frédy Girardet and was continued by Philippe Rochat, Benoît Violier … and now Franck Giovannini. At the head of an impressive kitchen team, the latter continues to roll out Gallic classics of exemplary clarity, rich in big-boned, yet balanced flavours. Lamb in herbs, strikingly fresh red mullet, Nantes duck in a gutsy gravy: the quality of the produce is as outstanding as the consummate cooking. Eac

Both the restaurant, and the Hôtel des Horlogers in which it is housed, are the epitome of sleek, cutting-edge cool. In addition to an elegant designer interior, guests can savour panoramic vistas of nature through huge picture windows. The seasonal lineup harmoniously blends classical and traditional flavours (succulent stocks and addictive sauces) and is crafted from primarily regional ingredients. An uncluttered decor provides the perfect foil to bold, modern plating and high-quality recipes. If you are dining in a party, don’t hesitate to order the dishes to share, but before that, it woul

In the centre of the peaceful village of Ballaigues, near the French-Swiss border, this restaurant is housed in a magnificent edifice, dripping in history. At the helm are two virtuoso French chefs, David Sauvignet and Damien Lanza, who share a passion for good food. Their ambitious take on seasonal Gallic fare is delicate, strewn with subtle Mediterranean influences and crafted with outstanding, mostly local produce. Examples: Mieral pigeon, crispy potato pavé, confit of shallots and green peas; fillets of John Dory, sorrel-laced concentrate of tomato, fried artichokes. Meals are served in a
