Absolute Ripoff!! I paid over $700USD for two adults and two teenagers who are college age. We ordered one glass of French wine, one Tokkuru (vase) of Sake, and four plates from a fixed menu for New Year's eve. The service was pathetic aside from the fact that the server made a small change to one plate for my son who cannot eat shellfish. Aside from this we sat for long stretches with finished plates in front of us between courses, as if we were at a diner or chain restaurant with unsophisticated staff. We then waited again for things like water, drinks, and finally the check. Additionally the food was average to good, but certainly nothing to write home about or make me think it was worth more than $700. I am a custom culinary knife maker. I make high end chef knives for some of the most well known chefs today. I am currently working on a project for Chef José Andrés. I am also working on a Project for Chef Sean Brock who is building a new concept in Tennessee. I have traveled all over the globe, eating at some of the finest restaurants in the world. On my last visit to Spain I had the opportunity to eat at El Celler de Can Roca in Girona, voted best restaurant in the world more than once, founded and run by the three Roca brothers. My bill for the same four guests with a full bottle of reserve Spanish wine was less than at Miyako. Let me repeat, "voted the best restaurant in the world". In my opinion this is a pretentious and over inflated dining experience. It seems suited best for those who have no understanding of truly fine dining or have no concern how they spend their money. All I see in here are paid reviews, how typical. I feel deeply offended at the money I spent to have a less than average Japanese meal with my family in Switzerland on New Year's eve. I can find a better Japanese dinner right here in my own town of Charlottesville, VA by a world class chef. Miyako is an utter disappointment. -Zack Worrell Monolith Knives

If you like real Japanese food ! It’s really simple : Don t go there. Super expensive for cheap quality and tasteless food . Sorry but I am a Japanese food lover and this restaurant was a real “expensive” joke.

What a very disappointing experience. We had booked for my daughters birthday on Saturday at 7.30 pm. There was already no Angus beef available, we were only informed of this upon ordering. All the starters arrived separately from each other. So we all ate our starters whilst other family members looked on. The food overall was fair but the service was subpar. The restaurant looks shabby and cheap certainly not worthy of the 5* Beau-Rivage Palace, more like a 2 star. There was absolutely no performance made by the Teppanyaki chef so don’t bother sitting or booking the Teppanyaki tables which are bar stools facing the glum looking chefs. You leave smelling of fried food as the ventilation is totally inadequate. The Manager did his best by offering commercial favors but this does not substitute for a very disappointing overall experience. We will not be going back and do not recommend.

After lockdown, it feels very good to sit in a restaurant and share some delicious sushi paired with a Billecart-Salmon Rosé. You can always expect good food and great service there, Looking forward to my next venue. Cheers !

The good: very friendly staff, excellent sushi. The bad: the mains were just so so (like great seafood with blunt sauté veggies) and... prices. It's ok to charge crazy high if you serve totally amazing food, but this was not amazing. To sum up, if you want to feel rich and spend more money than you should (or if you are actually wealthy and do not care about how much you spend), this is the right place to go to eat fancy-poshy. If you want to get something unique when you pay a lot: not the right place (ha, and open kitchen: you'll smell like a frying pan when you leave).

I am in this amazing palace hotel. They have a 2 Star M Fine Dining and a 3 Star Chef. This location and the restaurant they have around should be regard as high end type. This JP restaurant on taste is perfect. Nicely decorated and presented Maki, Sushi was great, Tempura was also executed perfectly. The sauce comes with it is warm and not cold which is something that sparks me up compare to many other JP restaurant. Things I need to say is they should at least serve a green tea with their class of style and Provide reddish etc sometimes with set meal. I am sure this JP can be one of the Star restaurant if they change a bit on the internal process. Food is not an issue. Just software issue.

Expensive but very good Japanese restaurant

Best Japanese restaurant in Lausanne!! Food quality is perfect! Service is excellent!! A must go!!

Outstanding service and incredible food - the staff are ex Nobu and really understand how to make the most wonderful leisurely lunch an absolute joy. Crispy rice with tuna was superb. Welcoming and delightful. A must visit.

Great food, great ambiance and great customer experience. You can see into the kitchen as well. I recommend this Japanese restaurant in Lausanne. 👌🏾👍🏽💯😁

Most delicious food. Great place and fantastic people. High-quality fish and meat. Efficient and highly competent staff. We love the Beau Rivage, such a wonderful place and service. A negative comment is that this place closes at 9 / 9 pm, this really puts us off going there as my husband does not finish work till 7 pm. In addition, they close on Sundays!!! Do not understand why the early closure time of the restaurant and the non-opening on Sundays!! this is not a kid's restaurant, neither a bank nor an office!! why the early closures? and why Sunday closures?? They need to evolve... this is the entertainment industry...

We liked it previously but felt disappointed after our recent visit. Between reserving and dining they had increased prices by 10%, no mention so a bit of a shocker when you arrive. Menu Miyako had some good dishes (sushi, fish), but also some letdowns (no amuse bouche, Teppanyaki course was just 2 Gyoza, Tempura and dessert disappointing). Service mediocre, had booked for a very special occasion but no mention or consideration whatsoever. At this price point we are not sure we will come back.

While the food was good, the ambiance great, service great, the food is so very boring. There is no flashes or flair just generic Japanese restaurant, for the prices and the location that’s a big let down.

A decision Japanese restaurant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service and friendly staff 🙏 they provide me with a compliment sweet also 😍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ amazing view front of the lake 👍🏼 Thank you Miyako and special thanks for Mr. Mathew 🙏

The food quality is okay, but just okay. I think this place is over-priced, maybe because it's within a 5-star hotel. Our waiter is pretty nice though.

Great restaurant for special occasions. The food was delicious and the service impeccable.

Matthew, our server was amazing. Great place for Sushi in Lausanne, highly recommend.

Wonderful and delicious dinner at Miyako!! We arrived rather late in the evening and the restaurant was quite full, but the waiters made it possible for us to still find a spot. We had a menu with tuna tartar, miso soup, black cod and a dessert - all of those delicious were very nicely prepared and presented. Also, the service has been exceptional, responding very quickly to additional requests, always with a smile, and highly professional.
