Swiss Gourmet Tour

A Gourmet Saturday in the Heart of Lausanne

The offer to discover this original, gourmet experience is not one to refuse. The meeting point is the magnificent terrace of the Brasserie de Montbenon. David, from My Lausanne, gives a warm welcome there. He explains the three-course concept, then lets everyone enjoy the experience. The gourmet quest begins with a cheese platter, saucisson and a glass of white wine. For a non-meat-eater, it is cheese, with a much-appreciated white wine. Aperitif, sunshine and good spirits reign on the terrace.

Gastro Tour

Lausanne Under the Sign of Indulgence

With the aperitif over, it is off to Bleu Lézard (in French), where the meal awaits. Despite many years in Lausanne, this is a first at this restaurant. A long-awaited discovery! On the menu: a salad, then delicious pasta alle vongole. A homemade iced tea accompanies this delightful moment.

The culinary journey ends with colourful cupcakes. The offer includes three cupcakes of your choice, with a drink. For those with a sweet tooth, it is the best way to end this meal!

A Walking Route Through the Heart of the City

Between each stop, the walk is part of the experience. From the Montbenon esplanade, the view opens onto Lake Geneva and the Alps. The route then joins the city centre, through its lively streets and typical stairways. These few minutes of walking leave time to digest and chat. They also offer a different view of the city. Each gourmet break thus becomes a little stopover. The pace remains free, with no time constraints between addresses.

Swiss Gourmet Tour ; Tips to Make the Most of It

For a successful food walk, it is best to come with a good appetite. The stops follow one another and the portions quickly add up. Good shoes are recommended, as Lausanne is a hilly city. Spring and autumn offer the most pleasant temperatures. In addition, a break at Maison Buet or at the Olympic Museum (in French) extends the discovery.

Swiss Gourmet Tour ; Tasting Lausanne Differently

The idea of a three-course meal is truly excellent. Strolling through the streets of Lausanne between each stop adds to the pleasure. A wonderful way to (re)discover the city, which will appeal to all food lovers. Today, Lausanne Tourisme offers the Lausanne Food Tour, a guided or audio-guided food walk.

To continue the discovery, the gourmet weekend in Lausanne and the chocolate shops of Lausanne (in French) hold lovely surprises.
