The dinner at one star Auberge du Raisin was a very pleasant surprise. In fact, it was a second choice of dining while staying in Lausanne, but the first choice- the three stars restaurant of Philippe Rochat is closed on Mondays...
The dinner in Auberge du Raisin though was much more than what i expected. The restaurant is located in a small hotel and is decorated like a Swiss chalet. A nice, cosy place with a fire place and dark wood tables.
The menu choices sounded humble on the menu, but looked sohisticated in the plate. Everything i had was excellent-the roasted "côte de boeuf" with red wine sauce was so tender it was almost melting in your mouth... "Scallops with caviar" was probably one of the best dish i have ever had in my life and is worth a more detailed description....Slightly warm slices of scallops and Beluga caviar in the middle were formed like small sandwiches. Even if it was a warm dish, the sauce was so delicate that you could feel the wonderful flavor of the caviar....
The images of "scallops with caviar"and the Swiss cheese trolley... Isn't it beautiful?
