Domaine de Châteauvieux
Restaurant of a Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux and hotel in a vineyard
At the age of seven, Philippe Chevrier knew that he would be a cook. It was a childhood dream nourished by the dishes created by his mother and his aunt. “They gave me a taste for good food. For my birthday I was allowed mussels followed by sole with red wine and a diplomate, the dessert with vanilla cream, candied fruit and sponge fingers…” Philippe’s dream is now very real and he has become a chef to be watched: one of the many reasons for stopping off at this old vineyard farmhouse transformed into a palace of elegance. Perch cooked in coarse salt flavoured with lemon grass, fried langoustine tails with peas and dried ham, preserved claw ravioli with tomato… ...Read more

Restaurant P. Rochat
Restaurant of a Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux in a village
In the former Town Hall of Crissier, Philippe Rochat has developed in this top restaurant. This chef has two mentors, Girardet and Bocuse, who inspired his philosophy: “No need for lots of ingredients to bring out the best in a product, three flavours per dish is enough”. By keeping to this magic number, he has perfected a very personal style strongly influenced by flavours from around the world, such as his Scottish langoustines in a fine Madras curry tempura and vegetable chutney or Vendée sole in a carrot and lime sauce.
