Restaurant in Lausanne, Switzerland
Lausanne Vietnamese Counter
Chez Quang on Avenue du Grey sits in a residential Lausanne neighbourhood well away from the lakefront dining circuit — low booking friction, accessible price point, and suited to travellers who want to eat where locals eat rather than where hotels point them. Specific menu, pricing, and hours data are limited; confirm details directly before visiting.
Chez Quang on Avenue du Grey is an easy booking — no weeks-long wait, no reservation system to wrestle with. If you are weighing whether the effort is worth it, the answer is yes for one specific reason: this is a neighbourhood-rooted spot in a part of Lausanne that does not serve the tourist circuit, which means the crowd is local and the experience is grounded in that. For food explorers who want context alongside their meal, that matters.
The venue sits at Av. du Grey 58, in the Grey district of Lausanne — a residential stretch well away from the lakefront hotel dining of Ouchy. That location signals something: this is not a venue positioning itself for the expense-account crowd or the convention delegate. It is the kind of address where regulars return because the food is reliable and the room feels familiar. For visitors, that is either the draw or the dealbreaker depending on what you are after.
Data on cuisine type, pricing, and chef are not confirmed in Pearl's records for Chez Quang, which limits how precisely we can position it. What the address and name suggest , and what the Grey neighbourhood context supports , is a Vietnamese or pan-Asian kitchen at an accessible price point. Lausanne's Grey district has historically supported casual, affordable dining that punches above its price tier on freshness and flavour. Whether Chez Quang fits that pattern precisely, the name and neighbourhood together point toward it.
This is where Chez Quang becomes a practical consideration for a specific type of visitor. Asian cooking in the broth-and-herb tradition , pho, noodle soups, rice dishes , travels reasonably well if the venue packs components separately: broth sealed apart from noodles, herbs bagged on the side. Whether Chez Quang operates this way is not confirmed in our data, but if you are staying in the Grey area or nearby, a takeout run here makes more logistical sense than ordering from a lakefront restaurant that will charge a premium for delivery distance. For explorers who want to eat well without committing to a sit-down service, this is a venue worth scoping on arrival.
For comparison: at the leading end of Lausanne dining, La Table du Lausanne Palace and Pic Beau-Rivage Palace are not takeout venues , those are commitment dinners requiring advance booking and a serious budget. Chez Quang sits at the other end of that spectrum: low friction, accessible, and suited to the kind of meal you do not plan three weeks ahead.
Reservations: Easy , no significant lead time required based on available data. Walk-in should be viable for most services. Dress: Casual; the Grey neighbourhood and venue profile suggest no dress expectations beyond smart-casual at most. Budget: Price range not confirmed in Pearl's records, but neighbourhood context points toward an accessible mid-range or below. Getting there: Av. du Grey 58 is reachable by public transport from central Lausanne; the Grey district is a short bus or tram ride from the city centre. Contact: Phone and website not currently listed in Pearl's records , check Google Maps for current hours before visiting.
Lausanne's restaurant scene splits clearly between the lake-facing luxury tier and the neighbourhood-driven everyday tier. Chez Quang belongs to the latter. For explorers building a multi-day itinerary, that split is useful: save the bigger spend for venues like Anne-Sophie Pic or 57° Grill, and use Chez Quang for the meal where you want to eat like a resident rather than a guest.

If your Switzerland trip extends beyond the city, Hotel de Ville Crissier just outside Lausanne represents the region's most serious fine dining address, and further afield, Schloss Schauenstein in Fürstenau and Memories in Bad Ragaz are worth the detour for committed food travellers.
