Lausanne, Switzerland
A Michelin Plate holder on Lausanne's Ouchy lakefront, La Brasserie du Royal delivers classic French cooking at a price point that sits below the city's two-star heavyweights.

Lausanne, Switzerland
On a quiet street in Lausanne's old town, Amici has relocated to Rue Cité-Derrière 11, placing it within walking distance of the cathedral quarter and the city's denser pocket of neighbourhood dining.

For a city where formal French technique dominates the upper tiers, Amici offers a different register entirely.
Lausanne, Switzerland

Lausanne, Switzerland
On a pedestrian stretch of rue Marterey, Maza delivers share-plate cooking built around European, Asian, and Middle Eastern influences, the result of a couple whose time in Japan, America, and France shows directly in the food.

The address places it in the heart of the old town quarter, where French-Swiss culinary tradition and Lake Geneva's proximity to Burgundy and the Rhône Valley shape what serious tables serve and how they serve it.
