Guided by a local, discover Lausanne's historic restaurants and cafés on a gastronomic tour with tastings of local specialties.
Start with an irresistible tasting of three Swiss cheeses: the unmissable Gruyère, the creamy Tomme vaudoise and the traditional Tête de moine that you can turn to shave the cheese !
The second stop will take you to a brasserie brimming with anecdotes, with an original take on the famous papet vaudois (a regional speciality of sausage with leeks and potatoes) accompanied by a Malakoff (a regional cheese speciality) and a glass of red wine.
For the main course, head to the legendary Pinte Besson to enjoy the much-loved half-and-half fondue, accompanied by a glass of chilled Chasselas.
And to finish on a sweet note, let's visit Blondel, master chocolatier since 1850, to pick up your ballotin of 100% Swiss fine chocolates.
