Continental
Continental breakfast: The local, high-quality breakfast buffet at the Hotel Continental is a real treat. In our hotel's own breakfast restaurant, you can enjoy a rich breakfast buffet of local and classic breakfast specialities every day. In our restaurant we serve a selection of fresh juices, various types of coffee, freshly baked rolls, bread and pastries, as well as Swiss meat and charcuterie specialities. In addition to the classic selection of cold meats and cheeses, our breakfast buffet also offers vegan alternatives such as lactose-free natural and fruit yoghurts, gluten-free muesli and freshly squeezed orange juice.
Away from our breakfast restaurant, Continental guests can enjoy an extended brunch, all-day snacks, lunch and coffee specialities throughout the day in a rustic and cosy atmosphere at Le Pain Quotidien - restaurant and organic bakery. The bistro is located on the ground floor with direct access from our hotel.
The best Italian specialities can be enjoyed à la carte or as half board in the Ristorante Bella Vita directly adjacent to our Hotel Continental. The traditional Italian restaurant offers original and authentic Italian cuisine, from antipasti and salads to homemade pasta, pizza and risotto, as well as meat and fish specialities.
Local Breakfast Partners
The Hotel Continental is proud to offer you a quality breakfast, produced under the best conditions, both ecologically and socially.
Baked goods
We source our wonderful baked goods from our local partner La Branche. The baked goods reach us via short distribution channels from the association's own farm. Most of the wholemeal flour comes from the farm itself: Buckwheat, spelt, wheat. The association uses a natural sourdough that it has been cultivating for thirty years. The raw materials are Bioverita/Demeter-certified.
Charcuterie
We obtain our breakfast charcuterie from the Swiss family business Suter Viandes. The company has been in family hands since its foundation in 1872 and is deeply rooted in French-speaking Switzerland. The meat and sausage specialities are multi-certified, regional and home-made. Suter Viandes pays particular attention to tradition and the regional origin of its product ingredients.
Cheese
The Hauser company is a quality cheese dairy and excels in its field. The company and its production are located in the Vallée de Joux, in the village of Le Lieu. The cheese dairy receives milk from six co-operative farmers and five producers from the Alps. The fresh milk is delivered directly from the producers twice a day.
Coffee
We source our delicious coffee from The Coffee Society. The Coffee Society is the story of a team of enthusiasts who founded the Lausanne-based company in 2016 and have been offering speciality coffees in pure origin or in home-made blends ever since. Roasting is controlled and artisanal.
Eggs
Colin Pittet founded the Ferme de la Grillière in 1994. Their farm is located in Vaux-sur-Morges, Vaud. The Pittet family works on the farm with their children. They keep free-range laying hens, suckler cows on pasture, pigs on straw, grazing geese and free-range chickens. Ferme de la Grillière is committed to the welfare and good care of its animals and the animals are very well looked after. Selected and local raw materials are used for a good and natural diet for the animals.

Le Pain Quotidien
Close your eyes and think of freshly baked bread and its delicious aroma. You can experience this aroma for yourself on the ground floor of the Hotel Continental, where the first Le Pain Quotidien in Lausanne is located. Continental guests who want to enjoy a snack between meals will find what they are looking for at Le Pain Quotidien - restaurant and organic bakery - on the ground floor of our hotel building.
Snacks, lunches and coffee specialities can be enjoyed here throughout the day. The rustic furnishings with wood and metal elements create a cosy atmosphere reminiscent of a country house.
