Beau-Rivage Palace, Anne-Sophie Pic Lausanne: the last tables go on 31 December

Q: Can you eat at Pic without staying at Beau-Rivage Palace?

Yes. Tables are sold to anyone3, and a stay plays no part in the booking.

Q: Is the restaurant open on Sundays?

No. Sunday and Monday stay shut3 every week to the end, and Tuesday is open; a listing with a Sunday lunch has the wrong days.

Q: Why is Anne-Sophie Pic leaving?

The contract ends6 after 17 years, and the hotel wants a kitchen run by its own teams.

Anne-Sophie Pic leaves Lausanne on 31 December 2026: Beau-Rivage Palace sells no table after that Thursday. Until then 7 courses cost CHF 330, and Simon Quétineau takes the kitchen in spring 2027.
