Canton of Vaud, Switzerland Food Guide: 10 European food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Lausanne

Best European restaurants nearby. Discover the best European food in Lausanne. View Menus, Photos and Reviews for European restaurants near you.. Lausanne was once an intellectual capital, attracting great thinkers such as Rousseau and Voltaire. Today it is a haven for those who love water skiing, swimming and sailing. The International Olympic Committee is even headquartered here. The town's history is evident, though, in its medieval cathedral, the museums of the Palais de Rumine, and Ouchy, the port where Lord Byron wrote "The Prisoner of Chillon" and the Treaty of Lausanne was ratified. For great views, hike up to the Signal de Sauvabelin.

Ristorante St Paul

Reviewed By Adrien S

Their stake is perfect and the staff is very cheerful and friendly. I saw some other meals around us that looked amazing and the other guests also enjoyed eating there. Everything there is authentic Italian, the ambiance and the staff as well. The waiter offered a nice wine, they have plenty of good wines. The food is a bit expensive but still a reasonable price for the quality, absolutely recommended

Croix d'ouchy

Reviewed By LoveToTravel6467

One of my favourite places in Lausanne. The food is always excellent, the service good. Good wine list and menu selections. Try to sit in the back room or if in the nicer weather definitely on the patio. Some items have two servings so I would ask as you well be surprised by the generous portions. Go it’s worth it.

Restaurant du Vieux-Lausanne et Bar Giraf

Reviewed By decline421

Centrally located and pleasantly situated. Weather good and our group of nine sat outside. Seating available inside too where decor pleasantly mild. No intrusive music heard. Good service, excellent food and a good time had by all. Mains around CHF 30 but half portions on some dishes available. House wine seemed to start at somewhere near CHF 35 a bottle (did I read the bill correctly? They certainly seemed to be 750 mls bottles) - in which case it is rather less than many eateries visited. Good loos, close to pubic transport. Definitely go again.

Restaurant Ulivo

Reviewed By Roberto_Vazzo

A great Italian restaurant. Our picks were: octopus and tartare as starters, both delicious; red ravioli and gnocchi as main course, also great. We finished with cheese cake with chocolate and hazelnuts from Piemonte. Friendly service; we felt like at home. Will definitely come back any time we are there. It is a good investment to get out from most touristic areas and come here; there’s a bus stop 2’ away.

Reviewed By Sylvia R

we went because of the review on tripadvisor. Having climbed the stairs to the cathedral we were slightly disappointed to see the menu for vegetarians as pasta can be so "meh" but were loath to walk back down to find somewhere else. And how glad we were that we went in - small restaurant, lovely hostess/waitress and the pasta was fabulous. So pleased we went.We are glad to read your various compliments concerning our restaurant and the food menu. your satisfaction is our best reward. Grazie, grazie,grazie !!Stella et Roberto

Le Tandem

Reviewed By Laurel B

At Le Tandem, you'll find more than meets the eye. The food is good and the experience terrific. Owner Augustus Natale waited on us himself this quiet Wednesday night in October. He features Italian specialties including some recipes handed down by his Sicilian mother. His English is sufficient, but if you speak Italian, he opens up completely. He loves the U.S. and has brothers in N.J. We were treated to a complimentary bruschetta as an amuse bouche and thoroughly enjoyed our grilled calamari. Wine by the glass was of high quality and fair price. Topping the dinner off with grappa was a perfect end to our time in Lausanne, and Sig. Natale made the evening memorable.

Reviewed By niemand

After many years, we have fulfilled our dream of having dinner at Hôtel de Ville. From the gracious reception at the front door to the personal good-bye from owner-chef Franck Giovannini, it was an unforgettable experience.We had the discovery menu: ten courses highlighted in our case (it was hunting season) by a saddle of deer in pepper sauce, very rare and sublime; it melted in your mouth.We asked the sommelier to serve glasses of wines of his choice, to accompany the various dishes. He did a masterful job, for example a delicate Chardonnay for our velouté of pumpkin, but a slightly more acidic Puligny Montrachet for our clémentine based hors d'œuvre.Our bill came to 940 Swiss Francs, appropriate for the outstanding experience.
