"A Michelin star above Lake Geneva — Stéphane Décotterd's eco-Swiss cooking and Riviera views make a destination dinner near Montreux."
About Maison Décotterd
Maison Décotterd opened in 2021 in the former Bellevue Grand Hôtel at Glion, perched high above Montreux with sweeping views over Lake Geneva and the Vaud Riviera. It is the home of chef Stéphane Décotterd, who earned two Michelin stars at the nearby Pont de Brent before building this restaurant, now holding one Michelin star and 18 Gault&Millau points.
The cooking is eco-responsible fine dining: since 2018 Décotterd has set aside imported seafood and exotic produce to work almost entirely with Swiss terroir. The result is a sense of place — the lake, the Alps and the Vaud forests on the plate — in a Relais & Châteaux setting.
The Kitchen
The menu reads as a map of Swiss produce: pike from Lake Geneva, asparagus from Salquenen in the Valais, salmon from the Grisons and Swiss Angus beef, all worked through classical French technique. Décotterd presents it as a seasonal tasting menu rooted in the surrounding landscapes rather than a fixed list of signatures.
The tasting menus run roughly CHF 140 to CHF 230, with a shorter weekday business lunch around CHF 90 and an à la carte option. Le Bistro by Décotterd, the more relaxed sibling on the same site, holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand for those wanting the cooking at a gentler price.
The Room
The dining room makes the most of its perch — large windows framing Lake Geneva and the mountains, a calm, light register that lets the view and the produce lead. It is a special-occasion room rather than an everyday one, with the polish of a Relais & Châteaux address.
The Glion setting, reached by funicular or a short drive up from Montreux, is part of the experience. Booking well ahead is essential, particularly for a window table and for weekend evenings in the high season.
Best for an Anniversary
The lake views, the eco-Swiss tasting menus and the Relais & Châteaux polish make Maison Décotterd a memorable anniversary or a proposal above Montreux. The setting and the wine list also make it a confident table to impress clients.
Not for
Not for diners after a quick, casual meal or a city-centre table — Maison Décotterd is a destination tasting-menu dinner up in Glion that asks for time and an advance booking.
