Brasserie de Montbenon
Virtually everything on the menu here is sourced from Vaud, and
prepared and served by a passionate young team. Arrive early enough
and you can watch the sun set from your spot on the terrace.
restaurant
Montreux Jazz Café
Born out of the friendship between Montreux Jazz Festival
founder Claude Nobs and music legend Quincy Jones, this café
filled with music memorabilia is the official, eminently classy
canteen for performers, music lovers and locals alike.
restaurant
Sardine
With a menu of locally sourced dishes and a fabulous gin list,
this bistro is just as popular with the local students of Lausanne
as it is with the celebrities who book into Beau-Rivage Palace.
