La Grappe d’Or
This restaurant is more than its beautiful facade, it’s the setting for stories of romance and intrigue, a vessel of Lausanne history.
MIX studio
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
Chalet-des-Enfants
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.

Donutime
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
The Coffee Project
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

2018: A Year of (Non)Resolutions
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

Tallis
There’s often a great divide when it comes to the subject of fur. There are those who love it for it’s luxurious feel and added warmth, while others are opposed to it because of the obvious ethical reasons. While we absolutely love the look and feel of real fur, we have always been part of
Meet The Makers: Fabio Marco

Viu Eyewear
*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
Finding Balance in Winter – Shannon of Pilates et Moi
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

Un Arbre, Un Enfant
Un arbre, un enfant. On Saturday we planted some literal roots right here in our adopted city, and we made this video to share with you. If you read this site even irregularly, you’re probably aware that 2016 was a big year for us. Because everything is more fun if you do it with friends,

Watch Gab Eat Burgers: Inglewood
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

Mille & Une Fleurs
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,

Where to buy Bio products in Lausanne
We all know the benefits of eating organic (or ‘bio’) food–no synthetic pesticides, no GMOs, no antibiotics or hormones…and the list goes on. When you think about all the by-products that could potentially go into our food, it makes sense to be a bit more thoughtful about the items we buy. We luckily live in

These Five Things
This Freitag backpack. Because we spend every day together, come rain or shine. This colorful iPhone case. Because #summertime. This summery dress for the little, because it is under 10 euros and receives alllll the compliments. These handmade Greek leather sandals from Shopping Therapy, because they’re comfortable & feminine (and go with just about everything). This
The Great Lausanne Croissant Search
As many of you know, we asked last week on social media where you have found the best croissant in Lausanne. Over 80 people responded with suggestions all over Lausanne! It was impossible for us to visit every single suggestion, so we chose the top four artisanal bakeries (in terms of repeated suggestions): Romain C.,
