Fodor's Expert Review La Haut

This elegant, intimate restaurant is in a restored home in the wine village of Chardonne. Perched high on a hill, it offers a view of the lake (from part of the dining room) that is worthy of a Champagne toast. Traditional French and Swiss cuisines are combined in a small menu that changes weekly. A well-composed wine list of Swiss and international selections offers breadth to match. Those who like a stroll before or after dinner can take the mostly flat five-minute walk to the funicular, an easy way to access these upper reaches.
