Vaud Restaurant Reviews

The culinary delights of the region range from the cuisine du marché (cuisine based on fresh market produce) of top-drawer chefs to the simplest fare: papet Vaudois, a straightforward stew of leeks, potatoes, and cream served with superb local sausages; delicate filets de perche (local perch fillets, sautéed in butter and served by the dozen); and even malakoffs, egg-and-Gruyère fritters, which hark back to soldiers of La Côte fighting in the Crimean Wars. Though nowadays fondue is de rigueur in any Alpine setting, Vaud is the undisputed capital of the Swiss national dish and one of its most loyal custodians.

To experience Vaud's best cuisine, look for déjeuners d'affaires (business lunches), plats du jour, and prix-fixe menus, which can offer considerable savings over à la carte dining.
