The Best Restaurants in 1006 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.
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.
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 "Beau-Rivage Palace" hotel fully deserves its name, as it really is an impressive palace. There are several restaurants on the first floor with a view of the garden and a large terrace; today we are dining in the "Kaigan". In the hotel's Japanese restaurant, we receive an extremely friendly welcome from our friendly host and are shown to the bar. Here we enjoy our lunch with a view of the teppanyaki grill. The host brings us the menu, we put our trust in him and let him put together a selection of dishes. We are soon served a well-seasoned tuna tartare, fine flambéed salmon slices and crispy fried rice squares with tuna inspired by the famous "Nobu" restaurant chain. The menu continues with a selection of sushi made from perfectly seasoned rice and fish of the highest quality. This is served at the table with grated Japanese wasabi root, which has little to do with the traditional bright green paste. The suggested glass of Petite Arvine goes perfectly with it - we almost opted for sake instead, of which there is also a good selection. Now we just have to order something from the teppanyaki grill in front of us. We opt for the succulent Iberian pork secreto, served with wonderfully crunchy vegetables. We also enjoy the house dessert "Flamed Yukimi", a flambéed mochi filled with ice cream and strawberry compote. We leave the "Kaigan" very satisfied and very full in the early afternoon.
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.
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.
