Restaurant Le Petit, Rte des Deux-Villages 74, 1806 Saint-Légier-La Chiésaz

I stopped at this rather sophisticated eatery along the main road through St Legier to have dinner last night. It was Tuesday and we were only seven guests which is a sign that even good restaurants have still not regained their popularity from before Covid hit. The restaurant boasts serving mostly local products. Cooking style is clearly French and there is a good selection of wines from close and far away. What's missing are vegetarian options although they tell you they will make you a vegetarian menu if you tell the cook well in advance. I chose lamb racks that were cooked to perfection and had a delicate taste. For desert I selected an assortment of French and Swiss cheeses, good but expensive for what you were served by the pleasant waiter.

Friendly setting. Terrace available in good weather 🌞 sheltered from traffic. Pleasant service 👨‍🍳. Card on slate and with the desire to work on a daily basis with local products. 🥕 The prices charged on entries 💰 are high ↗️. Certainly they can be, except that unfortunately... it is not up to the price. On the entire meal menu, the presentation is far too simple 😕 even if it’s still good 🙂 The prices of wines 🍷 by the glasses are also “hefty” 💰

We booked through The Fork; the restaurant is located in the middle of the village, with parking nearby! The menu is small but extremely well prepared with fresh local produce. Flawless! The service is efficient and high-quality. The dining room is small but tastefully decorated! The background music is top-notch! The foie gras starter is a real treat; I've rarely eaten such good foie gras in a restaurant. The beef fillet and potato terrine are simply excellent. A small cheese plate, and to finish, the warm chocolate mousse with pistachio ice cream! The prices are justified given the quality and quantity on the plates. Homemade food takes time and comes at a price! Thank you for this wonderful culinary experience.
