"French Cuisine" Restaurants in Canton of Vaud
Seasonality, only the best produce, craftsmanship and a flair for perfect flavour and aesthetic compositions characterise Franck Giovannini and his team. The excellent wine list, the elegant ambience and the perfect service complete the pleasure.
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.
A contemporary powerhouse of French cuisine with soul: in Cheseaux-Noréaz, Maryline Nozahic has been cooking seasonal classics (ballottine, lentilles, bisque) with constant curiosity for over ten years. Her husband Loïc also acts as host. Wonderful terrace with a view.
Metal was once processed here. Today, the industrial building at the railway station houses a restaurant with industrial chic that combines brasserie and gourmet cuisine. The market-fresh cuisine is guaranteed to delight the palate. The classic desserts are worth a sin.
Sensory delights are guaranteed in the colourful ambience of Le Café Suisse. Chef Marie Robert's dishes bring variety to the plates. The produce used is fresh from the market and seasonal, and prepared with playful lightness.
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.
Lucille Rougeron and William Bouton have legends among their teachers: Michel Rostang and Edgar Bovier. However, L'Ancolie does not want to be an unapproachable gourmet temple, but a restaurant for everyone. Tomatoes, lamb and melon bring a piece of the South of France to Vaud.
Boutique restaurant with rooms on Lake Geneva. Regional ingredients are highly prized in the villa, which was named after the composer Igor Stravinsky. Bistronomy with beef fillet, fish and vegetable dishes characterise the picture, while the private park completes the experience.
Mathilde Deschamps not only has a soft spot for French-influenced cuisine, but also a passion for good wines. Everything fits together in the historic ambience. Fish from the market and the legendary Tatin sisters' tart are almost an integral part of the menu.
L'Etoile has been a favourite gastronomic meeting place in Noville since 1949. During the week, a lovingly curated market menu is on offer, while at the weekend, festive meals are served. After dinner, you can enjoy a relaxing display of bowling at the bowling alley.
