Intro
The open-air terraces in Lausanne are as diverse and welcoming as the town itself. Be it hip or luxurious, modern or classic – these four terraces are sure to have something to suit every visitor’s tastes.
Brasserie de Montbenon – classic and innovative.
One of the most beautiful terraces in Lausanne is Brasserie de Montbenon, located in a beautifully decorated hall of the Casino de Montbenon. With unrivalled views over the Alps and Lake Geneva, this venue is a popular meeting place for families, culture lovers and gourmets. The cuisine is impressive, combining nouvelle cuisine with local specialities. And to quench your thirst, select from the best wines from the local area, top-class European wines, a variety of beers from microbreweries and popular cocktails.
Secret tip: borrow a set of boules from the bar and enjoy a game of pétanque in the grounds.
Les Grandes Roches – urban and cosy.
In the summer months, the Grandes Roches boasts an inviting terrace, right under the arches of the Bessières bridge. Colourful, mismatched chairs and tables, a relaxed atmosphere and a large selection of drinks and snacks make this terrace unique. A diverse programme of events entices to linger and enjoy concerts, film screenings, performances, plays and exhibitions. An urban hotspot that is a must-visit when in Lausanne!
Royal Savoy Sky Lounge – chic with stunning views.
The Royal Savoy is one of the city’s most legendary hotels. It opened in 1909 and has been welcoming important guests from all over the world ever since. Spectacular views are guaranteed from high up in the Sky Lounge, where you can admire 360° views of the city, the lake and the Alps. In addition to serving excellent drinks, the terrace also invites guests to go on a culinary journey. Thanks to the covered and glazed area, the Sky Lounge is worth a visit in any weather.
Les Jardins de PAM – modern and cool.
The Les Jardins de PAM restaurant is located in the hip Flon district. Over three floors and a roof terrace, visitors can enjoy Asian and Mediterranean cuisine, accompanied by signature cocktails and panoramic views of the city. The sophisticated tapas menu was developed and introduced by two talented chefs. The Mediterranean garden on the roof terrace combines urban charm with nature and is ideal for sunny days. This is the perfect meeting place to end the day with an aperitif at sunset.
