Each presentation is crafted like a work of art, designed to mesmerize the eyes even before awakening the taste buds.
Carefully Selected Food and Wine Pairings
The magic of this place also resides in the perfect harmony between the dishes and the wines. The sommelier proposes carefully crafted pairings that highlight the flavors of the dishes while offering a rich and complex tasting experience. The selected wines are often local, reflecting the Swiss terroir, in perfect alignment with the restaurant’s concept.
A Gastronomy that Evolves
This culinary evolution led by Anne-Sophie Pic at the Beau-Rivage Palace in Lausanne is not just a reinvention of her offering, but a celebration of culinary art. The restaurant aims to be a place of sharing and discovery, where each visit invites a rediscovery of cuisine through the lens of seasonality and local products.
