Les Ripps - Vrai Dimsum, Great Deal

Les Ripps has gone through many different facades through its time at the corner of Place de la Riponne. Now it is a chinese restaurant with a different twist on the normal asian fare in Lausanne. At les Ripps you can eat dimsum. Small dumplings and other dishes which you check off a menu and are brought piping hot to your table. Each dish is priced at 6 CHF and you can get a solid meal for a 20. From the standard Har Gao (shrimp dumplings) and Char siu Bao (pork rolls) you can also get more exotic items like chicken feet. Service is fast and there is always room as the restaurant is huge. It is open on Sunday

Average Spend Per Head 25 CHF

Chicken Feet

Har Gow

Chez Xu (Don't Judge a Book by its Cover)

Easily missable by even the Lausanne native, this inconspicuous joint in Tunnel (heineken beer sign is the only way to locate it) has won my heart for the best chinese restaurant in Lausanne. The added plus is that it is dirt cheap. Well not as dirt cheap as it used to be as now its becoming popular, but a group of four can still easily eat for as little as CHF 20 a person. 

Some of my favorite dishes include:

• Boeuf Croustillant
• Porc Aigre-Doux
• Boeuf Piquante - If you dare
• On Choy - Morning glory
• Prawns Sel et Poivre

Know what.. Fuck it... Its all good.  No matter what you order it will definitely be delicious. 

A reservation is definitely necessary in the evening. Usually full of chinese and Asian people, this is a good sign for a highly authentic experience. 

Delicious!
