Café in Lutry

The Chez Antoine café is in the heart of Lutry, a stone’s throw from the lake. This medieval town on Lake Geneva marks the gateway to Lavaux and its terraced vineyards. Its cobbled lanes are full of charming addresses. Inside the café, the decor creates a warm atmosphere. Outside, the pretty terrace smells of Provence. Green plants, flowers and an old stone fountain make up a charming setting. A few tables in the sun invite a longer break.

Conviviality and Treats

Behind the door, an open kitchen immediately sets the tone: conviviality reigns. The charm of the place comes from a clever mix of old and new. This successful blend gives it authenticity and a timeless character. The simple, familiar menu celebrates classic bistro cuisine. From morning coffee to lunch, the address welcomes guests at any time of day. The favourite is of course the terrace. It recalls the small Provençal villages of southern France.

Chez Antoine ; A Stroll in Lutry

Lutry charms with its medieval old town, its lanes and its quays on Lake Geneva. The village also marks the entrance to the Lavaux vineyards. After a coffee, a walk along the lake is a must. The bravest continue into the vineyards, towards Grandvaux. This route is detailed in the article on the Lavaux walk (in French). Lutry is easy to reach by train from Lausanne.

Chez Antoine ; A Provincial Escape

After a first aperitif in good company, the Chez Antoine brunch is the obvious next step. The address charms from the very first visit. One Saturday, the table settles in for an all-you-can-eat brunch. On the menu: seasonal, local products. The tasting begins with a platter of dried meats, cheeses and smoked fish. A lovely starter. Next come a mixed salad and a few slices of bread. A renversé and a ginger lemonade accompany the meal. To finish, a nice slice of strawberry cake. Seasonal products and play on textures make this brunch a real pleasure. The attentive service contributes to the relaxed atmosphere. The menu changes regularly, enough to come back without tiring of it.

After the meal, a stroll through the old town’s lanes or along the quays rounds off the visit perfectly. In Lutry, the Greek grocery Y Grec (in French) and La Route des Épices (in French) nicely complete the stroll.
