The story
At the Grand Hôtel du Lac in Vevey, EMOTIONS by Guy Ravet offers an intimate dining experience that is both refined and personal. The restaurant, which received a Michelin recommendation and earned 17/20 points from Gault & Millau in its first year, focuses on a single, intense tasting menu of four to five sequences. The cuisine is Classic French, presented with a subtle blend of respect for tradition and a drive toward modernity.
Chef Guy Ravet brings a deep-rooted culture of taste and experience from working alongside great chefs. His culinary philosophy is centered on emotion: the recall of a comforting memory and the discovery of a new sensation. For him, luxury lies in letting go of expectations and living fully in the present taste.
The setting is deliberately intimate and enveloping, with a fireplace, rich fabrics, and a view that escapes toward Lake Léman. The space is designed to feel cocooning and enchanting, a quiet backdrop for the chef’s creations. Pastry chef Gaëlle Peralta adds a final touch, crafting each dessert as a work of art that balances sweetness and innovation.
Open for dinner only, Wednesday through Sunday, EMOTIONS by Guy Ravet is a place where the food speaks directly to the senses. The restaurant is part of the Grand Hôtel du Lac, which also offers a chic brasserie, La Véranda, and a seasonal Buddha-Bar Beach pop-up.
