Auberge de l'Onde - Menu

Great ingredients, wonderful wine list, a bit slow service

Wir wollten eigentlich in einen anderen Raum aber in der Brasserie ist es auch sehr schön, guter Service und gutes Essen.

From starter to dessert everything was perfect, quality service, a warm welcome in a tasteful setting. We will come back very soon!

A nice restaurant in a building with a long history. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was very tasty and regional. Jérôme is very friendly, open and warm. Unsurprisingly, we received very good wine recommendations from him.

The restaurant made some drastic changes and the great ranking was due to previous setup. But be aware that The soul of the restaurant was its star sommelier, best Swiss sommelier in 2015 that created the atmosphere and amazing wine pairing making it worth the trip. This person disappeared and, In my POV, so does the reason to go to this restaurant.

This restaurant was introduced on the Labo trekking course, so I stopped by and had a lunch course while trekking. It's the best. They say Switzerland is expensive, but this is an exception. In Korea, even a 100,000 won course wouldn't taste this good. The steak salad was a bit salty, but it was very good because it used fall seasonal ingredients (chestnuts, figs, and sweet pumpkin), and the tiramisu was the best taste of my life! Even though I went alone wearing sportswear, they prepared the food so kindly that I had a happy meal. The best restaurant ever!

On the positive side, the wine list is incredible and contains almost all our national gems. Most of the dishes are very good. But the cockerel is a bit dry and served without much sauce. The least: presentation is very minimalist. But above all the service is very inconsistent. We had to wait 30 minutes to be served with a drink. Knowing that there were only 2 other tables (of 2 people) occupied is something to be unhappy about, especially on the day of a birthday. The bottle of white arrives 2 minutes after the starters. Then not really time to enjoy until 15 minutes later the main course arrives. Absolutely nothing to enjoy the wines...

Auberge de l'Onde is located in the very pretty village of St. Saphorin, not far from Vevey. It offers very decent food in a brasserie and rotisserie. We had the lunch menu , very fairly priced at CHF 59 with a starter of marinated fera...du Léman, a main of daily catch from Lake Geneva, and a sabayon-type dessert. Our daughter had the 63.2° egg as starter and beef tartare as main. All every nice. The restaurant is best known for its sommelier, originally from the Ivory Coast, who is an expert in Swiss wines and especially chasselas from Lavaux. On the day of our visit, however, the wine list was very much reduced as the restaurant's cellar is under re-organization. Go in October or November...

I am a regular there , 4 5 times per year. Take your time is meant because the Auberge de l 'Onde has two restaurant. The proper first floor with 40 seatings) and the brasserie type lower level 40 settings as well and...somewhat simpler choice and less elaborate setting.. but excellent). Since most people come between7:30 and 08:00 pm it takes time for the kitchen to get into rhythm since all is prepared on the spot and fresh . So don 't be impatient. Once the service starts you will be delighted either by the suggested menus degustation) or by individual choices. Great wines try the local specialties, much to be enjoyed at good price vs imported famous French names. Ask Jérôme the Chef somm...
