Restaurant de l'Hôtel de ville de Crissier in Crissier

Absolutely perfect in every way. Each dish transports you with happiness. It's difficult to single out one because they all deserve praise, but the duck in red wine in homage to Freddy Girardet is worth the trip alone. Perfect service under the (magic) wand of Monsieur Reguin. Just the welcome from Madame Giovannini, all charm and smile, promises you a great moment of happiness. Fabulous wine list encouraging you to forget all moderation. Extremely competent and efficient sommelier. In fact, a perfect score thanks to an exceptional conductor and a team worthy of him.

What can we say except that everything was perfect. By far the best meal of my life. Every taste accentuated, every detail incredible. I will definitely come back, and quickly. Thank you very much for this spectacular achievement, I highly recommend the discovery menu.

One of the best 3 stars Michelin restaurants! Many options a la cart or set discovery menu!

Unforgettable experience. Chef Giovanni's cuisine is simple and very readable while being very complex and elaborate. Each bite is an explosion of flavor in the mouth. We loved the tasting from start to finish. Thank you for this wonderful moment.

Yes, a renowned address, which serves faultless cuisine. Precise and delicious. We play here in the big leagues. This has a price that must be earned. After all, it's all about taste and color. But there precision of the dishes, their execution approaches perfection.

Very kind service and very good price quality

Too bad there are only 5 stars, Chief, you and your magicians are worth much more! Well done, I had a very good evening, exceptional. It's a unique experience, you appeal to all our senses. I will come back very soon, enjoy a suspended moment, a fabulous journey for epicureans. Well done for honoring this profession as you do. Congratulations to your team and yourself for your work 👏👏👏👏

So much praise when we talk about this temple of gastronomy, personally, I have never eaten such a delicious Valentine's Day menu, it was a real treat, and served at the top by a staff to match, well done and congratulations without fail. forget madame and the chef, we will come back to that.

Wow, that’s the first expression that comes to mind. A mixture of flavors, textures and scents to delight your taste buds. We were dazzled by the training and the quality of the service. We would like to try other experiences like this but when we started with the first restaurant in the world, it's hard to find better! 🤤

Exceptional dinner. Dishes that are both fine, subtle and generous. Perfect service, present and attentive without being burdensome. A humble chef who comes by at the end of the meal. Which house !

Excellent restaurant! A sequence of several tasty and well-prepared dishes. The portions are small but remember that you are in a gourmet restaurant. The service is worth the price.

One of the best restaurants in Europe, given the ratings... we suspect, keep it up

Great food, beautifully, carefully prepared with an enormous level of detail. Franck Giovannini is also very likeable and the team does a great job.

Amazing dining experience. The mixture of colors, textures and variations of flavors will make you experience a very high quality moment. Excellent service, attentive, very friendly staff, friendly and attentive to customers. We were even able to visit the kitchen and take a photo with Franck Giovannini. The discovery menu is perfect and the prices are fair given the quality of what is offered. To do absolutely. We will return!

An exceptional experience! I had the pleasure of having lunch with friends in this magnificent restaurant and I must say that it was an unforgettable moment. Everything was perfect, from the refined cuisine which amazed my taste buds to the warm and professional welcome from the staff. The chef's visit was a real honor. Each dish was a work of taste art, an exquisite marriage of flavors and textures. A culinary experience that will remain engraved in my memory. Congratulations to the entire team for this level of excellence.

Having received a voucher from my family for my 60th birthday in January 2013, I noticed that it is impossible to have a table for 2. When you book and specify that you have a voucher, the message tells you that it is full . Several attempts at dates but never a free table. The good one will go into the wastebasket. The money collected from the purchase of the voucher is safely stored in the restaurant's account. Do you have the same problem? Let it be known. For my part, certain daily newspapers will be contacted.

Superb evening, top cuisine and service, thank you Franck

On vacation in Chamonix we made a short excursion to Switzerland to dine in this excellent restaurant which was highly recommended to us, quite simply the pinnacle of restaurants

The best restaurant of the world. The food is amazing, the service is perfect, the chef is very friendly.

Magnificent experience to end a year 2023 full of changes. Impeccable service, very well guided at the start of the meal about the different dishes, perfect synchronization between each dish, magnificent cheese platter at the end of the meal. Really nothing to complain about the menu and service. Plus, the gourmet menu was really, really extensive. A very small downside concerning the price of a dl of wine (20.- to 25.- per glass of wine) and spending 10.- for a verbena… Otherwise, very nice experience.

I ate here a couple of times (amazing restaurant!), but in this review I will be talking about my cooking class experience. I took the cooking class (in French) and it was an amazing experience! The teacher was friendly, patient, and explained every step, and technique in an interesting and easy way. The food was obviously delicious. I highly recommend their cooking classes!

A fantastic and above all unforgettable experience!!! The proximity to the staff really adds something to this sublime evening! Awesome 🤩

Restaurant that deserves its stars and reputation. It was excellent.

Magnificent, everything is excellent, a real treat

Unforgettable evening with succulent and fine dishes, subtle aromas and impeccable service.

I am a driver for clients. Not invited for a meal. This is fashionable, the driver is at their service.

We expected a lot from this restaurant and they certainly did not disappoint. Not only did they meet our high expectations, they absolutely exceeded them. We were very well taken cared of.. from A to Z! The staff was very attentive and paid attention to details. The service was well synchronised and the plates were beautifully presented. We ordered the surprise menu. The dishes were flavourful and delish. The scallops and uni were divine and the lobster was cooked to perfection. I told the wait staff that I didn't have any room for cheese anymore and I very much appreciated that she suggested to bring me sorbet instead, so as not to leave my husband eating the plate of cheese alone. Overall, we had a lovely dinner and a wonderful experience and we will definitely be returning.

Amazing hunting menu. We ate in the kitchen. It was fabulous 🤩🤩🤩

It was with some anticipation that we visited this renowned and highly rated 3 Michelin star restaurant. We express a somewhat mixed opinion, perhaps harsh, but justified for an establishment of this caliber. A minor incident occurred when one of our espresso martinis spilled on the table, following a collision with the tablecloth. Despite our apologies, the incident was handled in a very courteous manner, but the intervention was limited to a simple towel on the stain, without any offer to change the tablecloth or reposition us, which seemed disappointing to us given the standing of the establishment and the price of the menu which amounted to more than 500.- per person. (That said, sorry again for the tablecloth!) The service began with the gourmet menu. The first dishes were divine, but the rest didn't really follow. The fish were overcooked, the dishes lacked boldness and creativity. The pace of service was irregular, with notable delays between courses. This service (certainly not reflective of their usual quality standard) did not really live up to our (very high) expectations, whether in terms of ambience, service, dining experience or value for money. price. The high cost seemed unjustified to us given the service. The evening, although pleasant, ended on a somewhat disappointing note. Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to the entire team who took the time to read this review, as well as to the manager with whom we were able to discuss various points. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Exceptional!! Reception, impeccable kitchen service, small downside needing help to access in a wheelchair, which was my case...but here I'm quibbling 😀

A house steeped in history where tradition is perpetuated through time and generations, a temple of world gastronomy whose chef Franck Giovannini ensures that excellence is always required!!! Well done and thank you for that.

A disaster (I note that I came in September and that I took the gourmet menu for 410 CHF)! I had to create an account to report my experience. Being used to star ratings (+10 3 stars), this one is very far in my opinion from deserving 3 stars, even 2 stars we are far from the mark. Incomparable with Pic, Blanc, Marcon, Passedat…. We'll start with the positives: - Good welcome - The dishes are magnificent Now the negative points: - A 3 star really?! No petit fours (if 4 small madeleines that I can buy at Picard without exaggeration) no appetizers, no pre-dessert - WAY TOO DIRTY. All the dishes are too salty, the lobster millefeuille style Caesar salad was inedible because there was too much salt and the other dishes were the same, even the signature dish. - No notable dishes, tomatoes, mussel mariniere, red mullet, BBQ lamb... nothing at the level of a 3 star but more than a 1 star and then again. - The scandalous dessert!!!! On the menu we have 2 desserts, the first in a cocktail glass, a sort of mix of citrus fruits and without exaggeration it is at Picard level. - 2 rooms for dinner, we were in the 2nd, room without decorations, small, we had the impression of being punished

After long months of waiting we were finally able to taste high quality dishes. Everything is perfect. The welcome is very warm, the service without any false notes. Wine advice and little touches that really deserve to be highlighted. It’s a taste pleasure in every bite. I highly recommend !

Everything was perfect !! Succulent meal. Impeccable service and very friendly staff!!

Extraordinary discovery menu as much for our taste buds as our eyes. Very friendly but very professional waiters.

A real pleasure, a treat, also for the eyes. What talents!

From the moment you arrive, everything is perfect, a warm welcome without being stuffy, a relaxed atmosphere with professional service. And what can we say about Franck Giovannini's dishes, simply exquisite, delicious, refined, even the eyes are amazed. A big thank you and a big congratulations to the whole brigade.

A very beautiful experience, dishes of incredible finesse, very nice wine list, the plates are sublime one after the other... a pure moment of happiness!! The east restaurant room is also very pretty.

Excellent experience, absolutely recommended. We will return.

Just magnificent, a unique and extraordinary experience

We have been there several times, everything is perfect from start to finish of the meal.

Good, solid French food, no question. But no wow effect or plates to remember. Would not be surprised if a star is taken away one day. Service is not attentive, we sat in front of empty glasses and would have liked to see the sommelier again for another bottle, but nobody took note of us having run out of wine. Prices are ok for the quality provided and the venue continues to be perfectly maintained.

New excellent summer menu, exemplary service, incredible presentation of dishes! How lucky to be able to taste the fruit of the work of a master in his field.

Simply sublime from start to finish. A truly exceptional culinary journey. Thank you to the whole team for this magical moment.

Restaurant living up to its stars. Fresh, quality products with a perfect balance of flavors. attentive and caring staff. I recommend living this unique experience.

We recently visited the Hotel de Ville in Crissier and loved it. The food was first class, with excellent ingredients and lovingly prepared. Every bite was a treat for the senses. The impressive cheese buffet and the perfectly coordinated wine selection rounded off the culinary experience. The service was sometimes spotty, but chef Franck Giovannini made the evening perfect with his hospitality. Not only one of the world's best chefs but also a host. We'll definitely come back.

Magnificent culinary moment, gustatory thank you very much.

Simply the best food I have ever had!

I had the chance to have an extraordinary gastronomic experience at the Hôtel de Ville de Crissier. Each dish was a true masterpiece, from the exquisite perch-based amuse-bouche to the refreshing cold starter of glazed tomato and willow mousse. The fricassee and tempura frog legs were a real delight, accompanied by a sauce to die for. The main courses, lobster and langoustine, were prepared with incredible skill and the accompanying sauces were perfectly balanced. Finally, the raspberry soufflé, a great classic, closed this feast brilliantly. Each bite was an explosion of flavors and an unforgettable sensory experience. I highly recommend this exceptional establishment for all food lovers looking for an unparalleled culinary experience. Congratulations to the chef and the whole team for this enchanting moment!

One of the best restaurants in the world. Thank you Franck for these wonders and this warm welcome!

Amazing place.very friendly staff

Everything was perfect and I have never eaten so good. Congratulations to all

Unrivaled! For me it remains the best restaurant in the world! My most beautiful gastronomic emotions, I experienced them here.

Great experience thank you for everything

Quite simply the best restaurant in the world. A caring staff, a cuisine that will amaze you and a friendly and available chef. A fabulous evening

Very pleasant moment, feast for the eyes and the palate

It has a quaint feel as it is the former restaurant of French cuisine master Freddy Girardet.

We are big fans of the cuisine of the Crissier Town Hall. After tasting countless menus there, I came to the conclusion that it is quite possibly the best restaurant in the world still to this day. Far from the great revolutionary era of molecular cuisine, this cuisine is neat, clean, artistic and simply delicious. Perfect from every angle, this restaurant reflects the very spirit of a 3 Michelin star experience. From the welcome to the treats, including the menu, the service, the chef and the kitchen, everything is there to make you experience a unique moment. A great friend of the chef, we had the opportunity to dine there in the kitchen and felt like we were living a dream. The best culinary experience for having discovered more than twenty starred establishments of all kinds. To do again, again and again.

Great experience, recommended once or several times in your life.

Faithful to the tradition of great restaurants with a more than efficient service, young and knowing how to adapt to the customer's style. Very inventive sommelier who makes you discover the wine adapted to the dishes) a wine treat. Gastronomic menu which is suitable for good hunger without excess. Perfect cuisine in the details with classics delicately treated and reinvented, superb, just a little too much salt in 2 dishes. The place is magnificent, the cellar in the basement is worth a visit. Thank you for this good time.

Incredible experience, I highly recommend it for the service, the dishes and wines offered, the little touches from arrival to departure from the place, simply perfect! There should be more establishments like this.

Excellence of cuisine in a cozy atmosphere with very attentive and discreet staff

Wonderful menu. Unforgettable evening with very attentive service.

Very good food. Creative and beautifully presented. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the staff is not trained according to the restaurant awards. We found the personal conversation with the star chef very nice and appreciative. Price rather very high even for a 3 Michelin and 19 Gault Millau restaurant.

We had a wonderful time on Saturday March 11th in the evening in the restaurant of the Crissier Town Hall. As we had the opportunity to tell Mr. Giovannini, he is a true culinary master. The dishes were presented like magnificent jewels in their boxes. Without losing sight of the fact that it is about cooking, we were able to recognize the different tastes and all the exquisite flavors of our dishes. We will also never forget the feeling - we were "blown away" and truly impressed - when we had the chance to enter the kitchen, with all these cooks (more than twenty) busy at work. their respective tasks and responsibilities. There was a certain form of serenity and undeniable control, despite all these active staff. What a beautiful and unforgettable surprise it was to have the privilege of entering the world of the chef, who was, moreover, very available when we spoke with him. No arrogance or self-importance (like with certain French chefs...) on his part. His primary concern is that customers have a pleasant time. As far as we are concerned, the objective has been largely exceeded. We were even treated to a little attention upon departure: the menu we tasted was given to us, printed on beautiful watermarked paper. The service was perfect, each person maintaining their personality. Nothing is worse, in our eyes, than being served by soulless, robotic staff. Which is not the case in the restaurant at the Hôtel de Ville in Crissier. Special mention for the sommelier who took care of us and who admirably advised us. As you will have understood from reading these lines, we are not part of the jaded clientele who frequent this type of establishment, which is why we were really touched by the fact that everything was done to ensure that we had a wonderful moment, even though we had a certain budget to respect. Yes, we can point it out, because we have experienced it, everyone is treated the same way in Mr. Frank Giovannini's restaurant, with kindness and all the professionalism that one has the right to expect in an establishment of this level. We had the chance to eat, on a few rare occasions, in certain restaurants that sublimate gastronomy (Ms. Anne-Sophie Pic in Valence, Mr. Paul Bocuse in Lyon, Mr. Philippe Chevrier in Geneva and Mr. Bernard Ravet near Morges) , we keep very good memories of each of these meals, but that of last Saturday, at Mr. Frank Giovanni's, will occupy a special place. A true kitchen goldsmith. A big congratulations! Thank you for this magical moment.

A unique moment..world class just THANK YOU

A superb experience!!! Very pleasant staff and an excellent meal!!! 😋

Refined, very delicious dishes, friendly team. Restaurant to recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Superb from start to finish, thanks to the Salade team for their welcome and efficiency and to the entire kitchen brigade for their talents. We will come back with pleasure. Thanks to chef Giovanninii

The food requires a brigade of calm, talented chefs to make it to this quality. Never eaten better food. Anywhere. No airs and graces, treat everyone like rock stars and they love food. Save up and go.

A real explosion of flavors, the dishes were incredible, a real treat. The whole team was as kind and professional as you rarely see. A BIG THANK YOU to Chef Franck GIOVANNINI for taking the time to share his passion with us. We had an unforgettable day and we can't wait to go back.

Excellent vibrations of the senses and ecstasy of the palate best restaurant in Switzerland

I want to write pages, but I'm speechless. An unforgettable evening. The food was outstanding, the service was perfect, everyone was so nice... I and my friends will remember the visit for a long time, the smells, the aromas. In short, a unique experience! You have to make Crissier once in your life. What Giovanni and his team do there is crazy and foregoes any fashionable frills.

Very warm and friendly atmosphere. We were served succulent dishes for the mouth and also for the eyes.

I recommend with my eyes closed! We have gone several times and have never been disappointed! A real treat, magnificent dishes well presented, and always a pleasure to share with Franc at the end of the meal! Many thanks and see you soon!

The best gourmet restaurant in Switzerland. All the dishes are delicious, you can see and smell what you eat. Each plate has a different taste and the visual with the colors is magnificent.

What a treat and joy to taste Franck Giovanini’s dishes Everything is on top Thank you to your entire team ;)

No complaints. An incredible taste experience and impeccable service.

The cream of Swiss and French gastronomy.

The best restaurant in the world. Every time a new emotion. Thank you.

The kitchen table is a magnificent experience

We cannot describe the perfection and beauty of the dishes as living up to the reputation of this legendary place. It's not a meal, it's a gastronomic experience, very friendly, and very professional. You feel welcomed and well received down to the smallest detail. Some would say that the prices are high, I would say that for the number of dishes, the quality of the products and above all the originality which borders on perfection as well as the gourmet side of each dish, it is well worth it. Especially since it is possible not to have a glass of wine per dish, so as not to come out full. I recommend and I am preparing to return as soon as possible

During a group meal, we had the pleasure of eating at the Crissier Town Hall. Overall I enjoyed the evening...unfortunately for a 3 star restaurant not everything was executed to perfection. Aperitif: we ran out of wine, champagne, water and above all seats - the room was not ready to accommodate the exact number of people and the staff did not come by to see if we were missing anything ( and suffice to say that we lacked everything...at the same time 2 one liter bottles for 20 people, you didn't have to invent powder to guess that there was going to be a shortage of water).... Meals: there were excellent dishes, there were very good dishes and good dishes. Generally speaking, I expected more madness and creativity in the combination of tastes, but nothing particularly surprised me - we stick with classic cuisine (excellent foie gras but I have eaten some like that more than a thousand times, royal hare very good but I didn't jump to the ceiling, etc.). Presentation of the dishes, however, is always superb! Service: absolutely NOT worthy of this restaurant and its reputation. We had to ask for water several times as well as white wine...I asked for the umpteenth time for water with my coffee which I never received, being on medication this particularly bothered me ...We did not receive any sugar or cream on the table with the coffee and no more staff to ask for it. The description of the dishes was not very clear. There were several of us at the table who didn't really understand what it was about. Damage. (No printed menus at the table either). Wines: personally, I did not appreciate the Valais red. I had the impression of a wine that was much too young and "acidic" for dishes like chamois or hare. I would have appreciated it being the sommelier who presented it to us and explained his choice. Decoration: the atmosphere of the place does as much work as the visual appearance on the plates. And for my part, I find the places a little kitsch....soulless...not clear-cut...lacking modernity. Bonus: visiting the kitchens is a great idea for a passionate person like me!

One of the most beautiful experiences of my life! The service and welcome are exceptional. Fabrizio and Jacques made this moment unforgettable and the icing on the cake, the warm exchange with the chef. Thank you for everything. I will come back.

A magical experience, everything is perfect, the meeting with the chef at the end of the meal adds to the charm of the place. I have only one regret: not being able to go back anytime soon.

Even though we arrived late, the reception was very friendly. The service was attentive, the food was really good and the atmosphere was homely. A very nice experience. For me, the cheese buffet was the secret highlight.

A perfect meal in a beautiful setting. Everything calls for dipping your bread in sauces. A perfect evening.

Very perfect...over everything...Madame and Mr. Giovannini...very nice...I'm going back..

One of the best restaurants in the world. To book at least once in your life!!!

It's not possible to define it as the best restaurant in the world because you would have to have done them all. Unique taste experience. Fine-tuned dishes, masterfully revisited. All cooking is done to perfection. I'm not going to list all the dishes, the photos speak for themselves. We had such a blast with the hare à la royale that we could have eaten the plate of it. The service is worthy of what one would expect from this type of establishment: just perfect. We could possibly criticize the framework but we do not touch the institutions or the heritage! In addition, the Chartreuse window is a feast for the eyes and brings that little bonus that makes you dream for eternity.

a disappointing note because the dishes follow one another, the setting is aging, the culinary experience is mediocre as is the food and wine pairing. The Chenin grape leaves us with a bitter taste... we remain very disappointed for a gastro accompanied by a salty note.. There are much better nearby, you just have to look!

I would almost say that this speaks for itself…

Incredible, I, who don't eat fish or other marine/lake products, enjoyed this. So preparation is important. Congratulations to the kitchen team and the servers who took care of us throughout the dinner. I have very good memories of it, thank you. Small downside, the long queue to reserve in the evening, you can't go there on a whim to stop by. This is a sign of success, congratulations.

Great experience, all plates were amazing, the staff are very kind.

An extraordinary culinary experience!

Exceptional restaurant. Gourmet dishes, more than perfect service, accessible chef. I recommend

Top class from A to Z super pleasant atmosphere top notch staff and the menu above all with incredible preparation and details extraordinary products very high level know-how congratulations to the undisputed master of world cuisine that we take the time, to speak with these remarkable customers...

I love this restaurant!!everything amazing - food, wine, and cheese!!super🤩

I was so impressed knew how they prepare every single things by details. Couldn't complaint about the taste!!Everything perfect

Very high quality dining experience. We had the honour to be invited at the chef's table in the kitchen, I will have these memories forever. The cuisine is beyond excellent, the wine selection and someliership is perfect, the chef is very nice and open to conversation, a true passionate place with a special vibe to it.
