Les Amis - Bussigny-près-Lausanne

Our Cosmos tour group spent two nights at Novotel Bussigny Hotel Lausanne during the Grand Tour of Switzerland. The first dinner was included in the hotel. In our second night everyone was free to choose where to dinate. Bussigny is a very small, very charming village located 8 km from Lausanne. We had the choice to eat again at the hotel, or in one of only two restaurants in Bussigny. One has Chinese cuisine, the other offered local fare. We chose the local fare. The restaurant is located at Chemin de Villars 1, 1030 Bussigny p/Lausanne. Telephone: 021 612 85 84. It has no website. The village is just a 10-minute walk from Novotel. When my spouse and I found this restaurant, we couldn't see if it was open or not. Nevertheless, we arrived at 6:00 and found a man who placed the tables in a tiny dining room that could hold at most 15-20 people. Communication was difficult as he only spoke French; we only spoke English. After several experimental moments he finally showed us to a table and offered us a menu. From this French menu, my husband ordered an Italian dish that we recognized: Pasta Carbonara (17,50 CHF); I chose the Pasta Primavera (17,00 CHF), both with Penne Pasta. Servings were very generous and excellent. I accompanied my meal with a small Carafe Merlot wine for 7.00 CHF. My spouse had found a Desperados beer from Belgium (6.50 CHF) with Tequila. He had not visited this beer since we visited friends in Sydney, Australia, who import the beer from a local liqueur every year. And we found this beer in Bussigny! Amazing! My husband was thrilled. The man who puts the table stood as owner, cook and only waiter (Azevedo Antonio). While we could not really communicate in a common language, he was delightful; and we warmed up after the first few unpleasant moments. Another couple of our tour group came after sitting and shaved around their meal. The woman jumped on Lachs-Penne Pasta; the man on grilled horse, a medallion from which he offered to my spouse. Both men declared the meat delicious. You never know.... At the end of our meal the children and grandchildren of the owner came to eat and fill the rest of the tables. It was great food and fun to eat here. We wouldn't have missed anything tonight!

The wife dined on salmon penne pasta; the husband on grilled horse, a medallion of which he offered to my spouse. Both men declared the meat delicious. One never knows.....Toward the end of our meal the owner's children and grandchildren came in to eat, totally filling the rest of the tables. It was superb food, and great fun eating here. We would not have missed this evening for anything!!!!

This is a small café-cum restaurant with limited seating and it is advisable to make a reservation. The owner, a Portuguese gentleman, serves as a kitchen and you have to be a bit patient. It is worth waiting because the food comes freshly cooked with good ingredients. The wine list is limited and it is best to go from the recommendation of the owner. We have an excellent Spanish wine. If you are looking for a quiet place away from the crowd, it is.

Unsere Gruppe Cosmos verbrachte zwei Nächte im Novotel Bussigny Hotel in Lausanne während der Grand Tour de Suisse. Das erste Abendessen war im Hotel inbegriffen. An unserem zweiten Abend konnte jeder frei wählen, wo er essen möchte. Bussigny ist ein sehr kleines, charmantes Dorf, das etwa 8 km von der Stadt Lausanne entfernt liegt. Wir hatten die Wahl, im Hotel zu essen oder in einem der beiden einzigen Restaurants in Bussigny. Ein Restaurant bot chinesische Küche an, das andere lokale Speisen. Wir entschieden uns für die lokalen Speisen. Das Restaurant befindet sich in der Chemin de Villars 1, 1030 Bussigny p / Lausanne. Telefon: 021 612 85 84. Es hat keine Website. Das Dorf ist nur 10 Gehminuten vom Novotel entfernt. Als meine Frau und ich dieses Restaurant fanden, konnten wir nicht sagen, ob es geöffnet war oder nicht. Trotzdem betraten wir es um sechs Uhr abends und fanden einen Mann, der die Tische in einem kleinen Esszimmer umkreiste, das 15 bis 20 Personen Platz bieten konnte. Die Kommunikation war schwierig, da er nur Französisch sprach; wir sprachen nur Englisch. Nach einigen Momenten des Versuchs zeigte er uns schließlich einen Tisch und bot uns eine Speisekarte an. Von dieser französischen Speisekarte bestellte mein Mann ein Gericht mit italienischer Pasta, das er erkannte: Carbonara (17 CHF); ich wählte Pasta Primavera (17.00 CHF), beide mit Penne-Nudeln. Die Portionen waren sehr großzügig und hervorragend. Ich begleitete mein Essen mit einem kleinen Krug Merlot für 7,00 CHF. Mein Mann hatte ein Desperados aus Belgien (6,50 CHF) mit Tequila infundiertes Bier. Er hatte dieses Bier schon einmal getrunken, als wir Freunde in Sydney, Australien, besucht hatten, die jedes Jahr importiertes Bier aus einem örtlichen Spirituosengeschäft tranken. Und wir fanden dieses Bier in Bussigny! Unglaublich! Mein Mann war begeistert. Der Mann am Tisch stellte sich als Besitzer, Koch und einziger Kellner heraus (Azevedo Antonio). Obwohl wir uns nicht in einer gemeinsamen Sprache verständigen konnten, war er charmant und erwärmte sich nach diesen ersten schwierigen Momenten für uns. Ein weiteres Paar aus unserer Gruppe kam, nachdem wir bereits saßen, und lobte ihr Essen. Die Dame aß Lachs-Penne, der Herr aß ihr gegrilltes Rindsfilet, ein Medaillon, das er meinem Ehepartner anbot. Beide Männer erklärten das Fleisch für köstlich. Man weiß nie... Gegen Ende unseres Essens kamen die Kinder und Enkel des Besitzers herein, um reichlich zu essen und den Rest des Tisches zu übernehmen. Es war ein ausgezeichnetes Essen und sehr unterhaltsam hier zu essen. Wir hätten diesen Abend auf keinen Fall verpassen wollen!

Die Nudelgerichte (mit Morcheln, mmmm!) und die Fleischgerichte auf Schieferplatten sind sehr lecker, obwohl ich die Pizzen weniger schätze, aber das ist Geschmackssache! Der Service ist gut, obwohl der Chef manchmal unwirsch ist. Ein kleines Restaurant in der Nähe, wo wir gerne zu Fuß hingehen und wissen, dass wir gut essen werden! Ich empfehle es!
