  • 1. Café Beau-Rivage

    $$$ | Ouchy

    As if turning its back on star sibling Anne-Sophie Pic and the aristocratic Beau-Rivage Palace, which shelters both, this young, lively brasserie-café faces the lake and the Ouchy waterfront scene. Its flashy brass-and-Biedermeier dining area and bar fill with smart Lausannois and internationals enjoying trendy cuisine du marché. In summer the pillared terrazzo terrace (protected from embarcadero traffic by rose gardens) is the place to go.

  • 2. L'Auberge de l'Onde

    $$$

    Once the main relais (stagecoach stop) between the Simplon Pass and Geneva, this vineyard spot is out of central casting, groaning with history and heady with atmosphere: Igor Stravinsky and Charlie Chaplin were among the artists loyal to its charms. The tiny wood-paneled pinte, where winemakers come to read the daily papers—with a pitcher of St-Saph, as they call it—and to devour the upscale plat du jour, is enticing, as are the adjacent, white-tablecloth salons and upstairs-attic-beamed grillroom. The staff hovers while day-tripping connoisseurs and repeat faithfuls sniff and roll perfumed wine over their tongues and savor exquisite dishes from the top-notch kitchen.

  • 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.
