Lausanne Restaurants

Without any doubt, the best restaurant in Lausanne. You can find better restaurants in the outskirts, like Rochat in Crissier, but for a lesser price you'll have a wonderful experience.
Chef Peter Baermann excells with fish and never hesitates to experience new tastes, some of them exotic (e.g. poached veal with sour mango).
Nice and cosy place where you feel comfortable.

On the first floor, you'll find "Chez Peter", a less expensive restaurant also owned by Baermann.

Favorite Dish: Game dishes in autumn.
Filet de féra du lac mariné à la groseille

There is following description of Myo Sushi Bar at The Sushi World Guide: "Sushi, sashimi & fusion cuisine. The best terrace in town, beautiful surrounding, casual place, 3 minutes walk from Hotel Palace, center town." We have not tasted any of the food in it, but we have to agree with the part about "the best terrace in town" and "beautiful surrounding".

Esplanade de Montbenon was the venue of our first walk in Lausanne, and one of our favourite places in the city. It is great to enjoy the coffee at such place, and that is what, at least, offers Myo Sushi Bar.

Open Hours: noon – midnight

Located on the shores of the Sauvabelin lake lies restaurant called Auberge du Lac de Sauvabelin. We had just a coffee in it, enjoying the sunny day on the terrace overlooking the lake. Anyway, several travel guides suggests that it "does not disappoint with the delightful food and drink it has on offer", but also that "the interior lacks a lot of charm despite the large bay windows and the view on the lake". We spent very pleasant quarter of hour in Auberge du Lac de Sauvabelin.

Ekai Sushi Express is sushi-fast-food restaurant in the centre of Lausanne, at the upper end of Grand Pont. It offers good, genuine sushi, but also those adjusted to European taste (whatever that may be).

Nespresso boutique in Lausanne is located at Place Saint-Francois, overlooking Grand Pont. The nicest part of the cafe is cosy terrace with a view.

Bar a cafe La Siesta occupies the secluded terrace of Place Grand-St-Jean which connects Rue Grand-St-Jean and Ruelle Grand-St-Jean, two of the net of small pedestrian streets in Ville Marche, the olden part of the city bordered by Place Saint Francois on the south and Place de la Rippone on the north. It is as off the beaten path as it is possible in the most vivid part of the city, and that is the extraordinary quality. We used to have coffee in La Siesta quite often.
