Osio ; Japanese Pastries and Café in Prilly

The Osio café offers homemade pastries whose uniqueness lies in their Japanese flavours.

Osio

A Minimalist Japanese Café

Osio is the ideal place for fans of Japanese culture and lovers of the Land of the Rising Sun. This café offers an exquisite selection of pastries and drinks prepared on site. These original creations are also steeped in authenticity. The clean, minimalist décor recalls Japanese aesthetics. Every detail invites calm and contemplation. Already mentioned in the article Japan and its culinary stroll through Lausanne (in French), the address well deserved its own article.

From the Market to Prilly-Malley

Osio ; Japanese-Inspired Treats

Osio made its debut at the Lausanne market. The adventure started modestly but already showed great promise. Success was dazzling and the stall quickly drew an enthusiastic crowd. Lausanne locals queued in front of a table overflowing with pastries. All were eager to discover these Japanese-flavoured delights.

Given this success, the simple table gave way to a well-established address in Prilly. Five minutes’ walk from Prilly-Malley station, the café occupies a former safe factory. Cleverly transformed, the place now offers two floors to enjoy a multitude of pastries. The industrial setting pairs nicely with the gentleness of the creations.

Osio ; Good to Know

Osio is in Prilly, right next to Lausanne. The address is easy to reach by bus or metro from the city centre. The pastries go quickly, so it is best to come early in the afternoon for the full choice. They can also be taken away for an afternoon snack at home. For more Japanese flavours in town, the article Japan in Lausanne (in French) brings together several addresses.

Osio ; Treats

A Japanese Air

Manga, food, tea: Japanese culture appeals far beyond its borders. A good Japanese green tea already offers a wonderful taste experience. Paired with yuzu, black sesame or red bean paste pastries, it becomes a real journey. Cheesecake, matcha biscuit or taiyaki: every bite transports you to Japan. Taiyaki, a small fish-shaped cake, is traditionally filled with red bean paste. Dorayaki, two soft pancakes closed around a sweet filling, and mochis complete the offer. The black sesame shortbreads and the animal-head manjū are also worth trying.

To go with these sweets, a matcha or a green tea is the natural choice. The treats can be enjoyed on site or taken away to extend the pleasure at home. An address to recommend without hesitation for something sweet off the beaten track. A detour well worth the trip to Prilly. In Zurich, Les Gourmandises de Miyuko (in French) also combines Japanese inspiration and homemade cooking.
