Michelin-starred 2

Le Pont de Brent

★ Michelin€€€Modern Cuisine, Regional Cuisine

In a tastefully restored house in the village, Helena Collaud and Joeffrey Fraiche extend a big-hearted welcome. Two large colourful canvases set the tone in the smart, modern interior. The polished score highlights regional, but not only, produce. Enticing snacks, house-made bread and succulent combinations of ingredients: runner beans with Colonnata bacon, courgette flowers stuffed with fresh cream cheese and redcurrants; veal, carrots and apricots… At lunchtime, choose between a set menu or à la carte lineup; in the evenings a set several-course menu only. Fine selection of Swiss tipples an

Stéphane Décotterd

★ Michelin€€€€French Contemporary

In a premium location on the heights of Montreux, the restaurant of the Glion Institute of Higher Education commands a fantastic view of Lake Geneva and the mountains. The interior is elegant and modern and the service warm and professional. The legible, unpretentious cuisine of Stéphane Décotterd shines the spotlight on Swiss produce (fish from the lake, regional cheese). The chef regales us with wholesome dishes such as free-range poultry from Gruyère cooked in hay, but his star dish is Dry Aged duck reared in Walzenhausen, roasted whole in wine vinegar (order in advance).

Bib Gourmand 4

Auberge Communale

Bib Gourmand€€Contemporary

This somewhat inconspicuous Auberge is located in a small village set slightly above Vevey and the iconic Lake Geneva. Run by the Konrad family, the bustling restaurant, appointed in a low-key, modern vein and boasting a pretty terrace, offers a choice between sensibly priced flavoursome bistro classics and a gourmet menu. The fresh ingredients are seasonal and for the most part regional (vol-au-vent stuffed with calf’s sweetbread and Vevey pleurote mushrooms, lemon and cauliflower). However, the chef also finds inspiration in more international recipes, like 12hr-braised, Burgundy-style beef

Auberge Communale in Bursinel offers dining with views of Lake Geneva, particularly from its shaded terrace. Food quality receives mixed feedback; while ceviche, tartare, and seafood are praised, some mains like poussin were criticized for poor preparation. Service is polarizing: many appreciate the attentive and friendly staff, whereas others report long waits, damaged wine jars, and parking difficulties. The atmosphere is highlighted for its natural beauty and scenic backdrop. Value is occasionally questioned due to service inconsistencies. This restaurant suits visitors prioritizing landscape and original dishes, but those expecting flawless service may find it inconsistent.

Ideal for diners seeking scenic views and creative cuisine, but verify parking availability and allow ample time for service.

Le Lab by Adel & Niko

Bib Gourmand€€International

Between Vevey and Corseaux, this establishment sports a warm, contemporary interior, depicted by a striking claret-coloured wall and a long wooden counter. The simple, spot-on concept revolves around a set midday menu and creative dishes to share in the evening. The culinary lineup shines the spotlight on premium produce: carpaccio of tuna with ponzu and miso, roast pork cutlet and a creamy blackberry and raspberry delight to finish. Alfresco dining on the patio in fine weather and cheerful, professional front-of-house service courtesy of the smiling owner. The establishment also organises pri

Le Bistro by Décotterd

Bib Gourmand€€French Contemporary

Like its fine dining counterpart, Le Bistro promises diners a stunning view, whatever the season and whatever the weather, particularly if you ask for a window table when booking! A modern interior and a simpler culinary score, but quite the equal of its sibling in terms of taste and culinary know-how. Dishes to share include rillettes of Grisons salmon, lemon zest, herbs and croutons; platter of Armand Stuby saucisson and dried meat. Examples of main courses: gruyere-flavoured malakoffs (cheese balls); pike from Lake Geneva in puff pastry; stew of lamb from Dents-du-Midi, and of course, the h

Là-Haut

Bib Gourmand€€Farm to table

Julien and Morgane Ostertag's winning combination of good produce and no-frills, expressive, gourmet dishes creates a moment of indulgence, enhanced by the view over the lake. From the terrace or behind the bay windows of the elegantly decorated dining room, bistronomy is at the heart of the chef's offering: Valentin Chappuis' caramelised pork belly, patatas bravas and crispy sucrine; Mediterranean-style scorpion fish, taggiasche olives, tomato marmalade with basil and panisse. The service is friendly and charming. Don't hesitate to head upstairs!

Les Ateliers

€€€Modern French

After having been deserted for some 25 years, this former metal engineering workshop just behind the railway station has been revived by Jean-Sébastien Ribette and Sahondra Verdan. An off-kilter, smart industrial vibe sets the scene for a two-pronged culinary offer: brasserie fare on one side and a more ambitious menu in the gourmet section. Market availability dictates the score, hence the freshness of the ingredients, both at lunch and at dinner. Examples: tartare of red tuna in ginger and sake; confit of duck, shredded green beans and dressing; savarin of confit of lemon drizzled in limonce
