Great other Swiss food items such as Röstis, saucisson or fondue vigneronne (red wine based broth in which you dip your meat slices, comes with fries and a variety of sauces). My favorite dish is the Parisienne de Boeuf 250g, it costs CHF 30.- with salad/veggies and home made fries!)

Au Vieux-Navire is in the village of Buchillon, and I only heard about it because of a colleague's…read morerecommendation. I have come to like one of the regional specialties, filets de perche, and my colleague said that the best was at Vieux-Navire. Was she ever right! There are five preparations of the perche in two different serving sizes offered, as well as a larger serving with three different preparations. I had the classic with fries, and it was delicious! The fish tastes fresh and is cooked just right, with a nice buttery flavor. The accompanying tartar sauce is great. The fries are good, though perhaps not as crisp as I prefer. I ordered the larger serving, which is done in two services. This is an added value, as the second serving is nice and hot when you get it. With the perche dish comes a simple yet very tasty starter salad (the dressing is delicious). Even the bread and the olives served when you sit down are very good! While the perche is the specialty of the house, the restaurant also offers a variety of other dishes, including steaks, which looked very good. There are some very nice dessert options. I got a chocolate cake (there's a lot more to it than that, but the menu is only in French), while my friend got the profiteroles. Both were absolutely delicious and almost artistic in their presentation. Prices at the restaurant are quite reasonable for Switzerland. Yes it may seem pricey if you're crossing the border from France, but for a restaurant on the Swiss side of Lake Geneva, prices are very fair for the quality, quantity, and service you receive. Speaking of, service at the restaurant is fantastic. For non-French speakers, a couple of the staff speak English. Overall the staff was friendly and attentive. There was always someone walking by to check on you. Also for a restaurant in Switzerland (where dinner can easily exceed three hours), service was very fast. We sat, ordered, and finished our salad and two-service main course within 40 minutes. We stayed longer because we wanted to, but it's nice to have the flexibility of a shorter evening if you prefer. The ambiance of the restaurant is also a highlight. It's small and feels cozy, with a bit of a nautical theme. I can't wait to go back when the weather is better and the terrace overlooking the lake is open!

November 13, 2015 Paris shooting took place as we were having dinner here…read more We missed the unpretentious old Au Vieux Valais. The current owner did brighten up the place. Touristy is not necessarily a dirty word for a tourist region. There are now variations of Fondue on the menu that sound appealing. Croûte au fromage was served only in deluxe (ham, egg and tomatoes) version. It was decent. But Méringue with chocolate, seriously? An example of cultural difference. Waiting list for walk-ins is not a norm here. People take all the time they want to enjoy their food. The check is given only upon request. It is impossible to estimate waiting time for the next seating. A year ago, we came in and were told by a server that no seats available. So we moved on. But the owner ran after us outside and told us to come back in 15 minutes. He really wanted more business. When we were back, there were a few tables to choose. We walked in the other day for lunch. The owner said nothing available. One group (at least) was about to leave. And the kitchen was supposed to be open until 3pm. Strange that the owner didn't offer any other possibilities this time. They have apparently become popular. If you know what you want, a place a few steps away serves traditional dishes that are authentic and reasonably priced. Most restaurants in town don't have Raclette on a daily basis, though. Or you can ask a French speaking person to make a reservation for you. (Online reservation service is not an option yet. A cultural preference. Not due to the availability of technologies.) Foodwise, they are not a bad choice.
