Au Chat Noir : Rue Beau-Séjour 27, 1003 Lausanne

I cannot say enough about this restaurant. Everything is wonderful: the food, the wine, the waitstaff. My husband and I have always had a great time and enjoy everything.

This is in institution of Lausanne foodie scene and it took me almost two decade to push the door. Indeed, there were too many enthusiastic recommendation from friends and, very much like a movie you build too much anticipation for, I always feared to be disappointed. And then one night, unplanned, I went with my family and yes a high expectation. But I was blown away. First the service, transporting you to a Paris atmosphere, with great recommendations and anecdotes making you feel at ease. The menu, always in season, guaranteeing prime freshness and quality of produce. And of course the food… everything was wow… so much that I stopped taking picture after the first course as I was enjoying my time too much. Will I go back now? Yes definitely

Creative, simple and elegant. I loved all the dishes. This restaurant was such a good choice for my birthday.
