A la Pomme de Pin

Our favorite restaurant in Lausanne's old town lies between the back side of the cathedral and the château, within a 17th-century setting that most local residents remember from their childhood: It's nourished local hunger pangs since around 1935. There are actually two restaurants on-site here, including a brasserie with bordeaux-colored leather banquettes, and a more expensive, and more formal restaurant. Main courses in the brasserie are likely to include filet of fera (a whitefish from the nearby lake) prepared with white wine, parsley, and tomatoes; and roasted pigs' trotters served with rösti and salad. Main courses in the restaurant might include rack of Emmenthaler valley veal with a mousseline of potatoes and foie gras, or a roasted rack of alpine lamb with potatoes and mountain herbs.
