The story
For more than thirty years, La Croix d'Ouchy has been a gourmet landmark in Lausanne. The restaurant occupies a building dating from 1862, and its old-world charm is matched by a kitchen that draws from the Mediterranean.
The menu leans toward Italy with homemade pasta and risottos, while French classics such as veal kidneys and red mullet fillets are also on offer. A traditional menu and a tasting menu let guests explore the breadth of the cooking. The cuisine is rooted in Mediterranean traditions, with each dish prepared with care.
Inside, the restaurant seats 80 across a café and a dining room. In warmer months, the garden terrace opens up, providing 80 more places sheltered by a hedge. The space is also available for private events, and the service is described as irreproachable.
Wines are selected from Switzerland, France, and Italy to complement the food. The list is curated to match the Mediterranean character of the cooking.
La Croix d'Ouchy has been recognised by the Michelin guide as a Recommended restaurant, a testament to its consistent quality and enduring place in Lausanne's dining scene.
