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 decor 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.
In the kitchen, chef Anne-Sophie Pic offers a menu reflecting her gastronomic identity while paying homage to local produce. Each dish is an ode to the Swiss terroir, sublimated by the creativity of the chef and the expertise of chef Jordan Theurillat, who has worked alongside her for over 10 years. Together, they create a unique menu, the fruit of meetings with local producers and confidential tastings.
When it comes to drinks, the experience is astonishing. Paz Levinson has designed a bold and inspired menu of ‘creative drinks’, combining cocktails (with or without alcohol), wines, teas and coffees. Sommelier Dominique Peretti orchestrates a dizzying selection of wines, which he shares with passion on a daily basis.
In the dining room, Diane Blanch, the restaurant’s director since 2021, is the figurehead of Pic hospitality, ensuring an unforgettable customer experience in this exceptional setting.
The careful curation of art, the poya created for the restaurant and the personalised notebooks all invite you to immerse yourself in this unique world. But to capture all the magic, nothing beats a visit in person.
