Personal comments:
One place definitely not to be missed is La Barbare near the cathedral, which serves the best hot chocolate anywhere!! The central refectory, known affectionately as 'la banane' is very tasty and healthy and very good value for money. In town, Manora's great for good and healthy food when you're on a budget and the Bleu Lézard and Les Brasseurs are good bars. The city's beautiful so the view from virtually anywhere's great and in Ouchy you've got both a lake and mountains to look at!!
