At La Brasserie du Grand Chêne, winter is enjoyed in the purest tradition of simple pleasures. Under the large glass roofs, in a setting combining green banquettes and patinated mirrors, you will rediscover the taste of generous, lively and timeless cuisine.
The seafood from our Écailler, the comforting flavours of seasonal dishes and the exceptional selection of our 30 Chasselas wines by the glass celebrate the art of fine dining and the Vaudois way of life.
Here, we laugh, we toast, we get together. The Brasserie du Grand Chêne is the ultimate winter destination, where conviviality can be savoured with every dish.
For the festive season, the Brasserie du Grand Chêne welcomes you on 24 and 25 December. Enjoy a joyful atmosphere where tradition meets celebration: a festive menu of the day, laughter, delicious aromas and the warmth of a lively dining room.
Bring the Lausanne Palace home
Every year, when the cold weather sets in, the Écailler bench takes up residence on the pavement outside the Brasserie du Grand Chêne. In an authentic and welcoming atmosphere, it pays homage to the tradition of the great Parisian brasseries.
Once again this year, you can prolong the pleasure at home, as the entire Écailler menu is available to take away, with oysters shucked to order, freshly prepared seafood, delicately arranged shellfish... everything you need to celebrate winter in style, wherever you are.
La Table du Lausanne Palace
A starry winter
Under the direction of chef Franck Pelux and maître d' Sarah Benahmed, La Table du Lausanne Palace embodies the art of fine winter dining.
In an elegant, cosy and welcoming setting, each dish pays homage to the season: a gourmet, delicate and surprising winter.
For Christmas, the restaurant offers an exceptional festive menu, where local produce meets the chef's creativity. A rare moment, where gastronomy becomes emotion, and where each guest rediscovers, over the course of a meal, the magic of a happy winter.
