Eligo

Lausanne


With a name from the Latin meaning ‘to choose’, this glamorous establishment replete with chic concrete-and-wood interior and Chef Guillaume Raineix at the helm, keeps it simple with a judicious menu grounded in local, market-fresh ingredients and technical prowess. Raineix's reputation precedes him, having honed his craft in Paris' toughest kitchens, including Four Seasons at Hotel George V. Reservations recommended.
