Restaurant de l'Hôtel de Ville
Crissier, Switzerland
Today's kitchen brigade at this Swiss culinary destination is led by Franck Giovannini, who follows in the footsteps of a long line of illustrious chefs, taking over the restaurant in 2016. Showing enormous respect for the ingredients, Giovannini proves having fewer elements on the plate can yield a more intense experience. The Gastronomic Menu is no fewer than 11 courses - or go a la carte. Either way, expect scrupulous sourcing and immaculate execution. Vegetables are local, game is bought directly from hunters and the cheese cart carries 40 varieties. It is for multi-textured masterpieces such as powdered duck foie gras bites with Cornalin wine; frogs fricassee with chanterelles and candied eggplant; and crepes flambéed with local strawberries and caramelised pistachios, that the historied Crissier establishment has retained its three Michelin stars. At lunchtime, from Tuesday to Friday, you can opt for the 'quick menu' which can be finished within two hours.
