The story
De la Gare - La Table des Suter serves Classic French cooking at Avenue de la Gare 13 in Lausanne, and Gault&Millau rated it 17 in 2026. Jane-Lise and Pierrick Suter run the house together, she as hostess and he at the stove.
Pierrick Suter favors traditional flavors and well-roasted cuts. He turns to modern technique only to finish a dish, as with lobster served as claw, tail section and spherified bisque. Gault&Millau notes a generous, timeless style rather than avant-garde trends. The Michelin Guide lists the restaurant as Recommended for 2026.
Reviewers singled out seared foie gras with morels and asparagus, and frog legs in persillade. The squab with thyme sauce and pommes Anna also drew praise. Gambero rosso appears as tartare, carpaccio and a roulade topped with a caviar quenelle. A spring tasting menu pairs wild turbot poached in Chasselas with saddle of lamb and savory polenta. The cheese trolley carries nearly 30 aged varieties, and dessert might be strawberry, rhubarb and pistachio.
The dining room is sober, with a boldly styled veranda and a welcoming bistro alongside. Maître d'hôtel and sommelier Paolo Scano draws on a deep cellar to suggest bottles for each course. Service at table is warm and attentive, and in good weather there is outdoor seating.
