"Swiss Cuisine" Restaurants in Lausanne
"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.
Inspired by the diversity of local markets and with a pinch of cosmopolitanism, this charming restaurant serves creative bánh baos and seasonal dishes during the day. In the evening things get cosy with "tapas'siettes" to share, a carte blanche for the curious and regional wines.
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.
Dining at the fairytale castle of Ouchy is excellent. This is ensured by the 57° grill restaurant - the name stands for the perfect core temperature of the steak. Other cuts of meat, fish from the lake and chicken from Gruyère are also cooked to perfection.
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.
In a charming corner of the old town, northern Italian cuisine is served here in the form of specialities such as agnolotti del plin with sage jus or calf's liver saltimbocca with polenta. The wine list is skilfully curated and the service is pleasantly unaffected.
The oldest restaurant in Lausanne (since 1780) offers down-to-earth cuisine from the Vaud region: classic fondue moitié-moitié, rösti, seasonal meat and fish dishes, complemented by one of the best Swiss wine collections. The wooden dining room breathes history.
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.
