Fodor's Review:

Secure in his position as heir to the legendary chef Fredy Girardet, Philippe Rochat reigns as culinary don of the region. It's a quick drive west from Lausanne to his understated manse. Service and presentation are spectacular, and the food is absolutely stellar. For these finely orchestrated prix-fixe menus, the ingredients are key—lamb raised in the Pyrenees, cardoons (an artichokelike vegetable) grown in the village. Pace yourself, reserving time and room for selections from the immense cheese cart or celestial desserts. Make reservations as far ahead as possible—lunch may be your only option.

Keep in mind: Reservations essential.
