Le Guillaume Tell ; Enjoying Lavaux

Aran-Villette nestles in the heart of Lavaux, a vineyard listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Before the meal, a short walk in the vines whets the appetite. The train stops at Villette, on the lakeshore. The paths then reach the upper village in a few minutes. In the same place, the roaster Café Oli (in French) invites a coffee break. A perfect day between lake, vines and gastronomy.

Le Guillaume Tell ; A Gastronomic Review

A gift box sometimes offers lovely opportunities for discovery. This evening reveals both its strengths and its limits.

An Evening Offered by Wonderbox

Given for a birthday, a Wonderbox opens the restaurant’s doors for an evening of fine dining. The welcome is warm from arrival. The menu offers two amuse-bouches, a starter, a fish course and a dessert. This gourmet journey proves coherent and balanced. Each plate stands out for its careful graphic presentation. Despite this elegant and controlled cuisine, the flavours sometimes remain discreet. A little more character and intensity would further elevate the dishes. The front-of-house team nonetheless willingly adjusts the seasoning on request.

Classic and accessible, the address is perfect for an evening in a pleasant setting. A Lavaux walk between Grandvaux and Epesses (in French) ideally completes the discovery of the region.
