Just outside Lausanne in the Lavaux Vineyards is the spectacular Le Deck restaurant. Make reservations for a late lunch or a sunset dinner. The food is excellent and the views....unbelievable! https://www.barontavernier.ch/le-deck-gastronomic-restaurant-lavaux/
In Lausanne, make a reservation to enjoy a cocktail and apero at any of the following:
Sky Lounge at the Royal Savoy! The views are incredible, especially at sunset, and the cocktails unique and delicious. https://royalsavoylausanne.com/fr/gastronomie/skylounge
The bar under the Cathedral and adjacent to The Vieux restaurant. It's super casual but so fun! The Giraffe Bar is also adjacent. Then dine in the delicious restaurant. https://www.vieux-lausanne.ch/
Have lunch or dinner at Brasserie Montbenon. Again, the views are nice but the food is excellent. I highly recommend the trout! https://www.brasseriedemontbenon.ch/

Another favorite restaurant in Lausanne is the Cafe de Grancy located next to the Grancy Metro station. The food is excellent as is the service. It is not fancy but it is fabulous.
For delicious Italian food, La Grappe d'Or is located in the Old Town section and offers a wide assortment of Swiss Italian cuisine and excellent wines to pair with it. https://la-grappe.ch/
Or Amici in the upper old town behind the Cathedral. More of a southern Italian cuisine but exceptionally well prepared. https://ristoranteamici.ch/ Before or after dinner, grab a cocktail at Le Vestibule. Walk through the bookcase to go upstairs to the lovely bar above. https://le-vestibule.ch/
Finally, for a spectacular dinner, order the chef's tasting menu with wine pairings at Jacques near the Opera House. Innovative yet not fussy, truly a dynamic and delicious dining experience. https://www.jacques-restaurant.ch/
