大木旅馆

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

Claudia and Olivier Hiernard have combined bistro and restaurant at their charming inn. 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.

This restaurant, known simply as "Crissier" by its regulars, boasts a star-studded history. 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

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

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

Take a seat in the majestic dining room of this luxury hotel and admire the Art nouveau frescoes by Gustave Jaulmes. The show continues in your plate, as you tuck into dishes, subtly and precisely crafted with premium ingredients: fish from Lake Geneva (arctic char, perch, crayfish...), Bresse chicken with yellow wine. The chef works with noble produce, delving freely and frequently into the estate’s cottage garden. The exclusive, sophisticated ambience, like the breathtaking view and the attentive service add the final touch to this fine dining experience rich in gourmet memories.
