Brasserie - Restaurant
since 1969
La Riviera
Welcome to La Riviera
In Ouchy and family-run since 1969

In 1969, Emile Vuistiner acquired this historic brasserie. Originally from St-Martin in Val d’Hérens, Emile passionately managed this establishment for over 40 years. After his passing in 2010, his daughter Nathalie and his son-in-law Stéphane Porchet took over the reins of La Riviera, perpetuating thus the family legacy.
Thus, more than half a century has passed, and the family establishment continues its mission to preserve the soul of this authentic Vaudois brasserie, honored in May 2022 with the title of "Historic Café of the City of Lausanne".
We are proud to count you among our customers for all these years and sincerely thank you for your loyalty.
We look forward to continuing to welcome you for a long time to come for a pleasant moment of relaxation in our beautiful Ouchy district.
