MGM Cafe located in the lakeside town of Ouchy is one odd place. On weekdays DJs will spin funky house tunes in the evening. On Sundays, look out! MGM turns into House o' Salsa for a bit of the hot southern beats. The restaurant's menu is simple and features local cuisines. But this is an ideal place to relax with friends, especially on the fantastic terrace.
Housed within the Beau-Rivage Palace, La Rotonde serves up splendid French fare, with several courses accompanied by delicious wines! All this in patio style, with well-manicured lawns and hunky Maître des requêtes (literally meaning the "master of requests")! Now if you are a novice at such elegant affairs, then go for the tailor-made menus served on the first Thursdays of the month. Please save those tuxedos and cocktail numbers for this perfect blend of food and understated glamor. Call for reservations.
D! Nightclub, originally an old theater, then cinema, and finally converted into a club, opened its doors in 1996 to throngs of eager club-goers.

Base Bar is a joint venture between Base Concept (a health food and drinks manufacturer) and renowned designer Jean-Pierre Viau. The idea was to provide a space that was something more than a smoky nightclub or a small bar, where patrons could socialize. It combines the casualness of a local bar with the elegance of a fine dining restaurant. The menu here offers a refreshing change from the usual pub grub and presents a variety of health food and drinks options for all. The venue is also available on hire for private celebrations (minimum 10 guests required). To know more, call ahead

This traditional English/Swiss bar is only a minute's walk from the delightful L'horloge fleurie, which overlooks Lake Geneva and serves hot, delectable meals all day.

At least three days before the event, you must register if you want to compete against the locals.
