Pic at Beau-Rivage Palace reopened its doors after the major refurbishment
September 5th 2024, Anne-Sophie Pic and David Sinapian unveiled the new setting for their Swiss restaurant, nestled in the heart of the prestigious Beau-Rivage Palace in Lausanne.
The collaboration between Pic and Beau-Rivage, which has now been flourishing for 15 years, is based on a shared vision of luxury that is both sober and refined. This aesthetic is perfectly embodied in the design of the new space, by architect Tristan Auer. Guests will discover a world of elegance, with different atmospheres: dining room, bar, lounge, veranda, terrace and garden. The décor is based around authentic materials such as wood, quartzite and stone in warm tones, meticulously crafted by exceptional artisans. The tables, meanwhile, are adorned with leather and walnut marquetry, adding a contemporary touch.
Tribute to Michel Guérard
Michel Guérard, legendary French chef and Founding Father of Nouvelle Cuisine, passed away at 91, leaving behind an immeasurable culinary legacy.
The son of butchers, Michel Guérard began his career as an apprentice pastry chef at 14. Quickly recognized for his exceptional talent, he became “Meilleur Ouvrier de France” in 1958. His passion for cooking matched his dynamism and ability to celebrate life.
It is surely this fire that has always driven him that made him join the kitchens of the Lido, Maxim’s, and La Pérouse and then encouraged him to accompany the famous Régine in the opening of her Russian cabaret. There, he met Christine, and together, they wrote the first chapter of what is today a gastronomic and thermal saga, a story of family and happiness.
