Run by Franck Pelux and Sarah Benahmed, he restaurant of the lavish Lausanne Palace is the quintessence of elegance, intensity and sophistication. A score in the zeitgeist, whose Gallic roots are nurtured by international techniques, BBQ cooking and expressive recipes. Each dish shines the spotlight on top-drawer produce: blue lobster in a silky flan, flame-licked confit of red mullet, barbecued lamb, hazelnut soufflé like a paris-brest pastry. The business lunchtime menu on Wednesdays and Thursdays ticks all the boxes. A matchless view over Lake Geneva, particularly from the tables by the window. Before dinner, pop into the bar for an aperitif. Stylish, spot-on, sparkling service.
