A changed universe
A breath of fresh air has caught up with l’Hôtel de Ville restaurant. Chef Benoît Violier and his wife Brigitte, have invested a lot of time and energy into the refurbishment of the restaurant. First of all, the kitchens were completely rearranged to integrate technically high-performance, ergonomic and eco-friendly appliances.
A light, contemporary and cosy decor creates the perfect setting for your culinary experience, every detail in the dining room from the furniture and the lighting to the floral compositions and the works of art bring refinement and discretion.

A career in the firmament

In 1996, Benoît Violier joined the Hôtel de Ville restaurant in Crissier, first of all with Frédy Girardet “a cooking genius” then alongside Philippe Rochat. He became Chef de Cuisine in 1999, “Meilleur Ouvrier de France” in 2000 and after obtaining two master degrees, he finally takes over, at the age of 41, this 3 star Michelin restaurant.
