A restaurant for the refined and health-conscious types. Located on the southern side of the Lausanne Palace & Spa, this restaurant provides spectacular views over the lake and mountains of the Lac Léman region. Large transparent walls give way to the superb, newly renovated swimming pool and spa, a most wonderful sight under the cover of darkness. Great lighting effects bring out the best in this restaurant. A big terrace is also an option for the summer months. A place of relaxation and tranquility.
Situated on a quiet street in a quaint neighborhood, Cafè de Grancy is one of Lausanne’s most popular cafés, and bustles with activity morning, afternoon, and night. The café is most popular for afternoon drinks and weekend brunches, which include beef tartare, the cheeseburger de Grancy, and some interesting vegetable plates. Cozy and comfortable, the café is perfect for a rainy day reading in a comfortable chair or playing board games. Fondue nights during the week are a particularly good treat. Dinner reservations are recommended.
This restaurant in the center of Lausanne is a great place to begin a Sunday morning with coffee and a book, and end up with a nice meal and few drinks during the evening. The restaurant has a curious theme of frog and princess stories, which is where its name, which means “The Gold Crown,” comes from. The place has been around since the 19th century, and a lot of its charm comes from pieces of mismatched old-school furniture and its beautiful antique bar. Armies of young professionals crowd the tables on mornings when popular brunches are served.
