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.

Aujourd’hui, on voulait vous présenter nos délicieux cocktails… Mais la météo en a visiblement décidé autrement 🌧 En effet, on est plutôt sur un thé, un cappuccino et un bon plaid. Ça tombe bien, à la Riviera, on a tout ça, et même des bons desserts, comme un moelleux au chocolat, une tarte aux pommes ou une crème brûlée, pour vous réchauffer le cœur!

Au milieu des années 1980, un ambassadeur suisse glissait un petit message à Emile Vuistiner après son repas à la Riviera ✒️. Il y listait précisément les 8 raisons qui, selon lui, faisaient de la brasserie un lieu tout à fait agréable. Parmi elles, comme on peut le lire dans cet article de journal 🗞️:

✔️ ⁠On mange bien et des plats suisses
✔️ ⁠⁠On peut fumer
✔️ Le personnel est sympathique
✔️ ⁠⁠Les prix sont honnêtes
✔️ Le sucre n’est pas en portions

Aujourd’hui, les tenanciers ont changé de génération, le sucre est en portion, les pratiques évoluent avec leur temps, et ... fort heureusement, on ne fume plus. Mais on vous accueille toujours avec le sourire pour vous proposer de bons plats et menus à prix doux 🥘😍 💐.

Et vous, pourquoi vous aimez la Riviera ❤️?
