Simple Summer Recipes
Parmesean Crusted White Fish with Sweet Potato Fries We have to admit, our favorite part of this combination is the sweet potato fries. They are simple, packed full of nutrition, and go with just about any meal (we love pairing them with a big fat beef filet). The white fish in this recipe acquires the

Foound
The minute you turn onto the street where Foound’s industrial building resides, the creative energy is blatantly obvious. A black and white mural beckons you to its entrance, swirls and lines that lead you right to the heart of an original and unique collaborative space for entrepreneurs and local artists. Inside you’ll find anything and
Le Fraisier
Over the weekend, we finally took the time to visit one of our favorite little lunchtime holes in the wall in Lausanne armed with our cameras and notebooks. It has been months that we’ve wanted to tell you about Le Fraisier, but we kept saving it for a weekend when we could take the time
Weekend Getaway: Marrakech
Picture this: sitting on a rooftop of a riad in the heart of the medina, straw lanterns swaying overhead in the cool desert breeze that only visits once the sun sets. The perforated lanterns cast shadows on the floor and on the faces of the diners as they eat their tagines and bastilla and sip

Mon Jardin Secret
Sébastien, the founder and hot bowl master It’s no secret…not anymore at least. Just at the bottom of the stairway next to Luncheonette sits Lausanne’s first exclusively gluten-free lunch spot that even gluten-lovers will appreciate. Mon Jardin Secret, started by the same inventive minds that brought you Luncheonette, is an oasis from the greasy fast

Travel By Cocktails @ The Beau-Rivage Palace
It was one of those early summer nights where the air had a slight hot stickiness to it, but every once in awhile the breeze would bring refreshing relief. Walking onto the the Bar’s terrace, we were immediately greeted by a smooth riff by the live saxophonist; the melody then broke into an energetic rendition

Lemony Chicken Picatta Ever feel like you are making the same few meals over and over again? We’ve been stuck in a rut for the past few months and decided to break out of our routine and try some new recipes for summer. The requirements? The recipes must be simple, summery, and of course, delicious. We

The Art of Hosting
There’s a reason we asked Jackie to join our team specifically as our Event Coordinator a few months ago. We had only attended a handful of her parties, but we were so blown away by her ability to plan such entertaining and memorable functions and host with such ease. Normally we find ourselves a bit

A Day at Hotel Trois Couronnes
Last month we had the great pleasure of spending a luxurious Sunday at Vevey’s Trois Couronnes Hotel for spa treatments and a gorgeous brunch with our husbands. To call it sumptuous would be an understatement! While the boys sipped coffee and read the paper in the bar, we changed into cozy white robes and relaxed

Down to an Art – an Interview with Vernon Dubner
The first words that come to mind when we think about our friend Vernon Dubner, the gallerist of Dubner Moderne, are dapper, passionate and kind. Dapper because he positively effuses sophistication, (what more could you expect from a man with a tailor in Milan); passionate and kind because his enthusiasm for art is matched only

Craft Beer Workshop | La Nébuleuse + TA CAVE + La Mer en Boîte
We honestly could not have imagined a more perfect afternoon–the beer, the meat, the cheese, the fish, the people! On Saturday afternoon we hosted a collaborative Craft Beer Workshop featuring brews from La Nébuleuse at one of our favorite neighborhood bars, TA CAVE. The house was packed with beer enthusiasts and we spent the afternoon

L’A-T-E-L-I-E-R | Café – Galerie
Small and unassuming, it’s easy to miss this little Lausanne gem when walking down the street. Wedged between two towering residential buildings, L’A-T-E-L-I-E-R has made a name for itself amongst locals who prefer to drink and dine off the beaten path. Started by two friends with an eye for art, Cybèle and Laure decided one day to

TEDxLausanneWomen – May 28, 2015
Since 2006 when their short-format, quasi-theatrical and highly-engaging talks became available for streaming online, TED has been blowing our minds by bringing attention to the work of experts who although they have “ideas worth sharing” might otherwise labor in silence in the silos of the hyper-specialized modern workplace. Also widely celebrated is TED’s local franchise

Breakfast At Home
Don’t get us wrong, we love breakfast & brunch out in town. There’s something about meeting friends in the city on a Saturday morning and sharing your first coffee of the day with a stack of pancakes and your favorite cheerful waiter (hi Max!). But on bank holidays (and Sundays) your options are limited here
Ta Cave
Ta Cave has the big ambition of humanizing consumption and bring meaning back to the ritual of apéro.
Ristorante Amici
We once read in an article that people love recounting incredible dining experiences because it releases extra doses of dopamine (the “pleasure” chemical) not only in the person telling the story, but also in the person hearing it. Food is that powerful–and when you combine great food with authentic atmosphere and exceptional service, the dining experience becomes something

The Kouign amann @ Culture Café
If you’ve ever been on the first floor of the FNAC early in the morning, you’ve probably smelled the sweet scent of melted butter and caramelized sugar baking into a flaky layered dough. This heavenly smell is coming from none other than Culture Café–and the deliciously sinful treat? The Kouign amann. We had never even
