Street Style – Eleni
“Just do what feels comfortable,” we tell her, as we move the camera lens a few inches from her face. “This?” she says, hiding behind a pillow, jesting and laughing in her contagious manner. This is the paradox that is Eleni. You see her on the street and notice her impeccably outrageous style–her mix of

Mai Thai
For reasons which are self-evident given the name of this site, we typically focus our editorial attention on businesses and events in or directly around Lausanne. However, from time to time there are places special enough that the mild inconvenience of driving or taking the train seem an easy trade off because they offer something
Le Perroquet
Move over minimalism. This Lausanne resto-bar is flamboyant, eclectic, and utterly fabulous.
Le Contretemps: A Summer with LoveChick
Le Contretemps is one of those special places, where every single time we take a seat on its lovely terrace, watch our kids run across the perfectly manicured green lawn towards the playground, and gaze out onto the turquoise green waters of the Lake while sipping our sparkling rosé, we look at one another and

Ça Passe Crème
With a shared history in Lausanne, Steeve and Davide knew that they had an obligation, a duty, to bring the art of coffee to this city. We are so glad they did.
La Table du Beau-Rivage Palace, Croisière Gourmande
Each summer, we set off with the goal of discovering that perfect terrace – the one with the wide open view, uninterrupted by noise, and ideally positioned to glimpse the best of the sunset. Undoubtedly there are lots of great places in the area to eat, drink, and enjoy life al fresco, but this year

Hoi An BBQ
You know that feeling when you find a little gem hiding in plain sight? That simultaneous how lucky! and but, of course! One Friday nearly six weeks ago, we were moseying along the quais of Ouchy as one does on those optimistic May evenings when daylight stretches into night and the soaring temperatures inspire hours
Bamee Bistrot
Hidden in the St Francois Galleries, there’s a new little spot that seems to be on just about everyone’s radar. We arrived almost exactly at noon and the place was exploding with people waiting patiently to get their hands on this highly sought after lunch. All fresh, all made-to-order, and all packed with authentic Vietnamese flavors. If
Street Style – Margaux
Don’t get us wrong, we love Lausanne. But there is one thing we often don’t realize we are missing until we visit Paris or London or New York: being inspired by daily street fashion. We think it’s even more rare to have those moments of inspiration at the office or workplace because work clothes=boring. But

Let’s Fiesta: TLG x Eat Cinco de Mayo Party
CALLING ALL FLAVOR ADDICTS! It’s time to spice up apéro–and we’ve just the occasion. Scroll down for details! We’ve now been living in Switzerland for nearly a decade (what?!) and while we have come to love so many traditions of our adopted alpine country, there are always a few traditions that we miss about being

Lausanne, It’s Time to Eat! Lausanne à Table Events 2018
Just last night, while walking along the Ouchy waterfront, we overheard a man moaning to his friends – “Lausanne is just SO SMALL.” It’s true. Lausanne’s 140,000 residents can drive across our town in a mere 15 minutes. And if you’re looking for a party (or even a baguette for that matter) on a Sunday

Mexicana
When it comes to tacos, Lausanne is such a tease. After years of mediocre Mexican food, Amigo Taco arrived. It was an adorable family operation with tortillas so good they brought tears to our eyes. Our hearts were broken a year later when it shut down. But then a couple weeks ago, we got word
Street Kitchen Café
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.

Chez Tof
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:
Watch Gab Eat Burgers: ZooBurger
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
