Le Kotchi Traiteur - Excellent Quality, Excellent Price

Hidden away on avenue de L'Harpe, one of Ouchy's many side streets one can find Le Kotchi. Outside rather misleadingly it claims to be a shop specializing in arts de la table. This is partially true however it also provides the most phenomenal sushi, unadon, katsu and other japanese treats to go. Made fresh, bento box at 13 CHF is very popular for a business lunch. The Sushi Formule with 9 pieces of sushi + a salad at 22 francs is also a steal. Match your lunch with a japanese green tea and you have oriental happiness.

Le Pinocchio

Arguably competing with Mario's for Lausanne's best pizza, Le Pinocchio incorporates all the facets of a standard italian diner from aging charismatic waiters to a menu so vast that the first hour is spent just reading it! The restaurant is located on Avenue De L'harpe which leads to Ouchy and offers spectacular summer views. The ingredients used at Pinocchio are high quality and one of the best pasta dishes is the spaghetti with truffles and bolets. However, what clinches their position in our top 10 is their pizza. Sufficiently crispy, an easy thickness and perfectly cooked. I personally order the pizza bolognese however my colleagues are always satisfied with whatever pizza they take.

Average price per head: 35 CHF

Le Taiyo Sushi A Gogo

Le Taiyo like most Japanese restaurants in Switzerland is not actually run by anyone from Japan. As far as food is concerned, this restaurant is nothing special nor different from any other Swiss Japanese restaurant. However,  on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings the restaurant offers Sushi-a-go-go. For 48 francs, you can eat as much sushi as you want within two hours. This is value. No-where else in Lausanne can you eat sushi  this cheaply.

One golden rule. NEVER MAKE IT A COMPETITION.
