Windows Restaurant
Hôtel d'Angleterre Cuisines: European, ContinentalAbout
This is one of the least-publicized restaurants along this edge of the lake, but we have always found it utterly charming. Flooded with sunlight from large panoramic windows, and permeated with an undeniably upscale but discreet and rather clubby sense of old-fashioned exclusivity, it attracts a clientele of French-Swiss politicians, film industry personnel, writers, and the merely rich. Menu items change with the seasons, but are likely to include orange-marinated chicken cutlets with a yogurt-flavored avocado sauce and Bulgar wheat; zucchini flowers stuffed with eggplant "caviar" and Provençal herbs; asparagus and Roquefort soup; roasted omble chevalier, a whitefish from the nearby lake, served with a reduction of carrot juice and a passionfruit-flavored butter sauce; and pan-fried veal cutlets served with a demi-glacé of veal drippings and green asparagus. And if you happen to be walking along the quais between 3 and 5pm, consider dropping into this place for high tea (29F/$24/£13 per person), which includes finger sandwiches and pastries.
