L'ourserie 住宿加早餐旅馆

Frédéric and Irene Molina have relocated their fine dining offering to a new spot in the Vallée du Brevon, less than 2km from their restaurant Le Moulin de Léré. Looking out onto the peaks of Les Trois Becs and the mysterious Forêt Ivre with its slanting fir trees, this old farmhouse with its two-hundred-year-old timber frame has a refined, minimalist decor of premium materials, custom-made pale wood furnishings, contemporary lighting and local ceramic tableware. The spacious glass-walled dining area is on the upper floor and affords views of the surrounding countryside and into the open kitch

The Muratore house is named after its former owner, a liquor-maker and confectioner. It stands on a pedestrian street of Évian overlooking an exquisite square with a fountain in its centre. Now a restaurant, it is in the hands of Marc Serres, who crafts wholesome regional fare. The menu is sensibly priced and the à la carte range stars noble ingredients, including fish from the lake, without forgetting a few hearty classics from Lyons. Shaded by a linden tree, the terrace is bliss in summertime.

This chalet in the upper reaches of the village has been converted into an intimate restaurant by young couple Thomas and Estelle Flachaire, who met while working at the renowned Maison Troisgros in Ouches. The chef boasts a near-perfect CV and his experience makes itself felt in a series of healthy, light dishes crafted from seasonal, often locally sourced ingredients. Served in the form of a single set menu with poetically named courses, his cuisine embraces smoky, fruity and zesty flavours, in tune with the zeitgeist. A warm welcome awaits.

In this little village in the Vallée d'Aulps in the Chablais area, between Thonon and Morzine, what a surprise to find Breton chef Jean-Philippe Lemaire, who has worked abroad as well as in the region, notably at Le Clos des Sens, Le K2 and Le Farçon. Familiar with the Alps, of course, but also with Asia, he will win you over with his subtle, free-spirited cuisine. The dishes may give pride of place to the natural surroundings, but they also draw on the chef's memories of his travels, with nods to his native Brittany (eg churned butter with buckwheat or caramelised milk). Biscuit de brochet–sa

After nearly a year's refurbishment, French chef Anne-Sophie Pic's luxurious Lausanne establishment now welcomes diners in an elegant and modern leather-clad interior overlooking the lake. This exquisite new setting is a perfect match for the light, expressive and almost ethereal creations of chef Jordan Theurillat. Once past the entrance to the restaurant, there is a table-bar where excellent mocktails and a lineup of appetisers are prepared, drawing on produce from the garden in particular. Dishes such as the ‘venison chop marinated and smoked with juniper berry and imperator root, flanked b

Run by Franck Pelux and Sarah Benahmed, the Table of the lavish Lausanne Palace oozes refined elegance and bucket loads of intensity. A score in the zeitgeist, whose Gallic roots are nurtured by international techniques, BBQ cooking and expressive ingredient-led recipes starring top-drawer produce. Delicate, almost sensual sole meunière with a marinière-style celery pie; Breton blue lobster in a new take on couscous; crunchy farm-reared calf’s sweetbread finished on the BBQ with a medley of cabbage. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, the business lunchtime menu is just the ticket and the view over L

On the shores of Lake Geneva, a love story and a fish restaurant in one! Manon Moleins-Plassat (in the dining room) and Lucas Dumelie (in the kitchen) have dropped anchor in the tiny port of Séchex, from whence Manon hails. Her brother Ludovic, a sixth-generation fisherman, continues to cast his nets there. Fish from the lake play first fiddle on the menu: whitefish, pike, trout and crayfish are elevated courtesy of rigorous cooking techniques. The mountainous hinterland also chimes in with its vegetables, herbs and aromatic plants, which are particularly well suited to this light, healthy cui
