La Croix d'Ouchy : Av. d'Ouchy 43, 1006 Lausanne

On the recommendation of the concierge at our hotel we tried La Croix d'Ouchy and were incredibly pleased that we did so. We did not have reservations on a Friday night shortly after 7:00 pm, however we were able to be seated outside immediately. Not speaking French, we did struggle a bit with the menu. Due to the limited assistance provided by Google Translate we chose to place our faith in our waiter . Despite the language barrier we took all of his recommendations. He did a fantastic job with his suggestions, and both my wife and I enjoyed the best meal of our trip in Switzerland so far. My wife had a wonderful veal dish whose name escapes me which was both flavorful and tender, while I ordered the best Beef Stroganoff I have ever eaten. The evening was topped off with a lovely chef's choice dessert that was principally ice cream with a delicious chocolate sauce, the name of which again escapes me. In short, I would highly recommend La Croix d'Ouchy for anyone looking for a wonderful meal with a nice ambiance. Thank you for providing us with such a nice dining experience during our visit to Switzerland.

I had dinner on my own at La Croix d’Ouchy and the experience was simply exceptional! From the moment I stepped inside this charming restaurant, I felt genuinely welcomed. One of the waiters kindly translated the entire menu into English for me, and another noticed me eyeing the dishes he was carrying. He paused to explain what they were without me even asking. When I placed my order, I forgot the name of the salad I had liked. A few minutes later, the same thoughtful waiter came over and asked if I actually meant the one he had shown me earlier. He had picked up on the mix-up and corrected the order to match my preference ! Everyone was incredibly polite and professional, with just the right touch of warmth not overly formal, just genuinely kind. Here’s a photo of my veal . I highly recommend this place!

Great restaurant, good atmosphere, great food and very friendly service. A bit pricy.
