A little corner of Bavaria in Lausanne! Pretzels, sausages and sauerkraut are served in this establishment dating back to 1881. With more than 50 beers, the menu includes seasonal dishes and a few vegetarian offerings.
That little extra from the food insider "Cuisine Helvetica": From the Lausanne train station, it takes about 10 minutes to walk up to the brasserie. When you get there, spot the “H” on the left side of the façade, a memento of its first owner, Jean-Wilhelm Hirt.
Favourite dish: The saucisse à rôtir (roast sausage)
One of the à la carte dishes, sauerkraut, has maintained its reputation as the restaurant’s signature dish. The talented young Chefs also confer a gastronomic touch to their brasserie dishes. The skilfully restored setting has kept its “Belle-Epoque” charm but now also offers a pleasant terrace that is highly appreciated during the summer.This establishment has been awarded the “ Café historique de Lausanne ” label established by the city of Lausanne in 2021. The most beautiful Belle Epoque brasserie in Lausanne. The historical views show that all the elements of its décor are still present today. This brasserie embodies a city that is opening to cosmopolitanism at the end of the 19th century. Recently renovated, la Bavaria has been awarded the ICOMOS title of “Historical Restaurant” for the year 2021.
