We met Emma years ago when we couldn’t help but engage her in conversation about her summery “salad” called The Skinny Bitch. She’s fiesty and loving and knows how to handle the heat in the kitchen.

Last weekend, while it was pouring down rain we attempted to walk around the morning market, navigating our strollers through the cobble-stoned streets one-handed while the other held an umbrella…a lost cause really. We ended up soaked, grumpy, and longing for an enclosed space in the city where one can unwind with children present. We know:
Introduction This is the second post of a series of posts where Gabriel and Rui set off in the pursuit of the best burger in town. We structured our review around a few specific criteria. Of course, the flavor is paramount, but we also took ambiance, service, presentation, and temperature of the burger into consideration. Our

This restaurant is more than its beautiful facade, it’s the setting for stories of romance and intrigue, a vessel of Lausanne history.
Years ago it was tough finding a fitness space that felt catered in Lausanne. You either had to spend beaucoup bucks to belong to some high-end gym with super strict contractual obligations or you had to settle for the more economical but super basic option with no-frills and 3 treadmills with a 30-minute time limit. While
A restaurant that specializes not only in locally-sourced food from the neighborhood’s petits producteurs but also in the idyllic manifestation of Swiss country living and perhaps of childhood itself.

There’s not much better in life than a fresh donut (ok, maybe a few things, but it’s pretty high up there). And for the past eight years of our living in Switzerland, we’ve had to rely on our travels abroad to satiate our cravings. But then we caught wind of a newly opened Donut shop
Coffeephiles rejoice! A few years ago, if you would have told us that Lausanne would have its fair share of good coffee we would have totally laughed it off. Coffee just wasn’t a priority here, and it left many of us “settling” for an average cup of joe. But alas, Lausanne continues to surprise us in

We hope you had an incredibly relaxing, adventurous, and satisfying holiday and are ready to take on 2018. While reflecting on our hopes for this year, we realize that 1) we really hate New Year’s resolutions and 2) we still feel some pressure to make them. And then we stumbled upon this TEDTalks video given a

*SCROLL DOWN FOR DETAILS ABOUT THE GIVEAWAY* We remember the first time we had to buy glasses here in Switzerland. It was over seven years ago, and we walked into a popular retail chain and picked out one of the cheapest frames we could find. Over five hundred francs later we ended up with glasses we
Well friends, it’s November. And we think it’s finally time to accept that the cold weather is officially here to stay. Instead of giving into our hibernation instincts (wrap ourselves in blankets + eat cheese + sleep early – and repeat), we reached out to our friend and Lausanne Guide sponsor Shannon Flynn, owner of

Introduction For any burger to be considered “great” there are a few non-negotiables: a proper grill, good meat, and the perfect bun. This is a sort of elemental trinity of a burger. It’s so simple, it’s almost transcendent. When I joined the Lausanne Guide team, Sarah and Tanya asked me to identify gaps in content

Last weekend we were scrolling through our Instagram feed when we came across a gorgeous bouquet of flowers with a caption that indicated they were from a self-service floral farm just 25 minutes from Lausanne. Then we heard this flower farm also had a bouquet-arranging station, a huge selection of aromatic herbs to be picked,
