  • 1. Restaurant de l'Hôtel de Ville

    $$$$

    Since the tragic loss of world-renowned chef Benoit Violier, his determined widow, Brigitte, has continued to oversee the three-Michelin-star restaurant, propelling it to even higher accolades. Chef Franck Giovannini is winning hearts—and stomachs—with his fresh twist on haute cuisine. Giovannini draws on his decade of experience with the famed chef to uphold the restaurant's well-earned reputation as one of the best in Switzerland. It's a quick drive west from Lausanne to this understated manse. The service is spectacular, the staff is friendly, and the food is absolutely stellar. Giovannini creates imaginative combinations of flavors plus stunningly refined presentations. 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, making sure to leave time and room for selections from the immense cheese cart or celestial desserts. Reserve as far ahead as possible—lunch may be your only option.

  • 2. Coccinelle Café

    $ | City Center | French

    Locals have been squeezing into this cozy, eccentric café for more than a decade. More than a dozen coffee drinks are served alongside buttery pastries and heartier breakfast options. This little "ladybug" is cute as can be: the decor is decidedly funky, with gravity-defying stacks of books glued to its colorful walls and oversize Warhol-esque portraits in the restrooms. An outdoor seating area on a main pedestrian street means it is prime people-watching territory.

  • 3. La Haut

    $$$

    This elegant, intimate restaurant is in a restored home in the wine village of Chardonne. Perched high on a hill, it offers a view of the lake (from part of the dining room) that is worthy of a Champagne toast. Traditional French and Swiss cuisines are combined in a small menu that changes weekly. A well-composed wine list of Swiss and international selections offers breadth to match. Those who like a stroll before or after dinner can take the mostly flat five-minute walk to the funicular, an easy way to access these upper reaches.
