"Barrier-free" Restaurants in Lausanne
Anne-Sophie Pic brings her sensitive, floral cuisine to Lausanne with chef Jordan Theurillat. The menus change regularly, reduced at lunchtime and elaborate in the evening. French technique meets local produce - precise, fragrant and with great flair.
High above Lausanne, Franck Pelux serves French fine dining with rough edges between the mountains and the lake. Intense in flavour, clear in technique - such as poached sea bream or gnocchi with caviar. Sara Benahmed's service is also highly professional.
"Learning on the job" is the premise of the Lausanne Hotel Management School's restaurant. From the realisation of carefully compiled menus to perfect service - the students at this talent factory of Swiss hospitality prove their skills day after day.
Jacques in Lausanne offers a modern interpretation of the French bistro: expressive cuisine with refined sauces and a balanced selection of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes. The service is lively and contributes to the typical Parisian bistro feeling.
A visit to the brasserie in the "Lausanne Palace" hotel is always worthwhile, especially for lovers of classic French cuisine. And it's almost always possible, as the restaurant is open 7 days a week, from lunchtime to evening. When you enter, a nostalgic atmosphere immediately sets in, thanks to the furnishings with lots of dark wood, marble and white table linen. The menu also fits in with this, with classics such as Caesar salad, oeufs à la florentine and malakoffs as starters and snails, perch fillets and blanquette de veau as main courses. Looking at the menu, however, you realize that the concept of traditional cuisine is not rigidly adhered to - there are also lighter dishes and vegetarian options. For starters, we eat a selection of seafood served iced on a platter. Oysters, Norway lobster and prawns are fresh and of the highest quality, there's nothing to complain about. The queen pâté "Bouchée à la reine", which is served next, is also excellent: crispy, fluffy, filled with a ragout of sôt-l'y-laisse and veal milk. We didn't really need the rice, but it's a wonderful way to top off the fine sauce. Then for dessert, the Pièce de Resistance: a large baba à la Williamine with pear and heavy cream. It tastes excellent, we fight our way through it, but only manage half. The attentive service and good wine list are also highly praised. Since the beginning of October, there have also been 30 Chasselas from Switzerland by the glass every day, including many special wines.
The French-style bistro offers a cosy interior and tasty, uncomplicated and contemporary cuisine made from market-fresh ingredients. The dishes are presented on a slate board and the courteous service is happy to help you choose.
At the Brasserie du Royal, the Grande Nation meets Lausanne noblesse. The cuisine remains classic, but favours lightness and seasonal freshness. Dishes are served in the stylish salon or on the peaceful garden terrace - with a view of the greenery and an eye for detail.
The elegant, timeless ambience is just as enjoyable as Willy Rossignol's gastronomic art. The menu offers delicacies for lunch and dinner, prepared using the best seasonal produce. Meat, fish or vegetarian: all preferences are catered for here.
Modern bistro cuisine meets local tradition in the historic Casino Rotunda from 1908. Whether cordon bleu, féra salads or antipasti, there is something for everyone here. The marvellous view over Lake Geneva makes the brasserie a Lausanne classic.
L'Accademia on Lake Geneva serves traditional Italian cuisine with a sophisticated twist. The dish of the day changes for lunch, while in the evening you will find homemade gnocchi and precisely prepared ravioli carbonara with truffles. An elegant, tranquil setting on the Quai du Port.
Qasti means "my story". Chef Alan Geeam serves home-made mezze such as hommos, makanekh and soujouk in warm rooms in the city centre. The focus is on sharing dishes. Inviting, authentic and close to Lebanon. Oriental top class!
Amici serves upscale Italian cuisine. The pasta is served al dente and the bistecca is succulent, as are the delicious fish dishes with a southern flavour. The food is cooked with a lot of amore and the friendly service also exudes this generously.
In the enchanting ambience of a historic house dating back to 1340, Grütli skillfully pairs sustainable, fresh classics such as fondue or seasonal hunting specialities - such as venison or chamois with homemade spaetzli - with local organic wines.
