Restaurants
Lausanne is a prosperous city with a large tourist and student
population, so you'll find plenty of restaurants and cafés
in all price categories.
 In
the old town, Café du Grütli on rue Mercerie, just east of the Place de
la Palud, is a cozy, old-fashioned restaurant where you can order wine by the
glass or enjoy traditional Swiss specialties at prices that are moderate (though
hardly cheap) by Swiss standards. (See
Fodors mini-review.)
Another classic restaurant in the
city center, Café Romand on Place
St-François, serves drinks, sandwiches, and hot meals from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
and has a menu on its Web site.
 The
lively warehouse district of Flon has a good selection of restaurants and bars.
I had an excellent dinner in the lively, modern vinothèque on
the ground floor of Le Louis, facing the Place de l'Europe, where most of
the diners were as trendy as the decor.
In Ouchy, two upper-end restaurants
worth noting are La Rotonde at the
Beau-Rivage Palace,
which has a Michelin star and just 60 seats, and La Grappe d'Or (photo at
top of page), where the highly-regarded French kitchen is commanded by a
Bavarian chef.
