L’Eléphant Blanc

Tucked away in Lausanne’s medieval Cité – which you might think would be overrun with restaurants, but strangely isn’t – is this lovely little bistrot serving the food of chef Anthony Macé. Much loved by locals in the know, the intimate surrounding of the small interior make for a great place to spend a romantic dinner or catch-up lunch with friends, and there’s a well-priced dish of the day at lunch times. The limited menu focuses on regional ingredients and changes with the seasons. Quality is high and presentation beautiful. In summer there are a few tables outside on the quiet street.
