Only a 15-minute drive from Lausanne, this restaurant, known simply as "Crissier" by its regulars, has a long and illustrious history. Since Frédy Girardet was first awarded three stars back in 1975, the Restaurant de l'Hôtel de Ville has successively showcased the talents of a stunning cast of great chefs, including the likes of Philippe Rochat, Benoît Violier… and now Franck Giovannini. At the head of an impressive kitchen team, he crafts high-flying dishes. The extensive à la carte lineup is truly decadent and consummately backed by a slick front-of-house team, on hand to satisfy the customer’s every whim. Among the many signature recipes, we recommend the Bresse poultry and the strawberry and lime soufflé – both of which are for two. Beautifully balanced and skilfully crafted dishes, flanked by painstakingly curated wines and served in stylish dining rooms.
