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.

Brasserie Restaurant La Riviera1 day ago

Qui dit 6 janvier, dit Epiphanie. Et qui dit Epiphanie, dit Galette des Rois! 👑

🌟 Cette Galette star de la nouvelle année – née sous l’impulsion des boulangers, inspirés par leurs voisins français – est une tradition plutôt récente en Suisse puisqu’elle n’a été introduite que dans les années 1950.

D’origine païenne, la Galette des Rois est aujourd'hui un bon prétexte pour passer un moment en famille ou entre ami-es – même si la dégustation peut rapidement dégénérer si ce n’est pas la bonne personne qui trouve la fève et se fait couronner, soyons honnêtes! 👀

Mais le plus important ici, c'est: team Galette à la frangipane ou Brioche aux fruits? 🥮
