A Hidden Gem with Authentic Swiss Delights!We stumbled upon The Lavaux by chance while heading to Pastis, and what a fantastic discovery it turned out to be! The service was impeccable—warm, attentive, and welcoming. The food and wine transported us straight to Switzerland, with flavors that were both authentic and exquisite. As frequent travelers to Switzerland, we can confidently say that The Lavaux captures the essence of Swiss cuisine perfectly. From the fondue to the wine selection, everything was spot on. This place is a true gem, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a genuine Swiss dining experience!

It’s really all about the experience - this cozy little place really knows how to create a wonderful atmosphere. Tuesday night IS the night to go, who knew it’s all been happening for years now??? Secret message party! It’s not a little secret anymore 😉 well, unless you snag a 7 pm reservation on a Tuesday and join in the fun of talking to a stranger about … well, just about anything your little heart desires! A reservation IS a must because the place gets packed and you’ll miss out on all the fun. The wine selection is wonderful and I very much enjoyed a nice, crisp, delicious glass (or two haha) of one of their several Chasselas. The fondue was not as wonderful (hence loss of a star) and perhaps next time well stick to the cheese board and just the wine and the game 😋 and for that I have to say the price tag was a biiiiiiit too high but I guess you’re really paying for the experience (so be aware). The staff are very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend a visit but make sure it’s a Tuesday and make certain you’re making a reservation!

Hands down, one of the most charming spots in NYC, especially on a Tuesday night. The secret note party is a must-experience! I decided to go solo and ended up having one of the most enjoyable nights of the year here. Each guest receives a notepad and pen to write a secret, anonymous note that gets discreetly passed to its intended recipient by the hosts. The concept adds a unique touch to the already incredible food and service. Booking well ahead (1.5-2 months) is essential, but its absolutely worth the wait! I highly recommend trying it solo—its surprisingly fun.

This place is amazing!!! Dined here on Valentines Day, everything was delicious. We had the cheese fondue, chocolate fondue and also the charcuterie board!! Its a date night must!!

Go-to place for great fondue. Cheese fondue for main and chocolate for desert. Some very nice and interesting wines on the menu as well. Highly recommended.

Open the doors to The Lavaux and you experience a blend of rustic charm with urban elegance. It began with three visionaries who left the picturesque vineyards of Lavaux, Switzerland, to bring a piece of Switzerland to the West Village. All wines come from Switzerland and you get to taste the wine before committing to a whole bottle. Every Tuesday, they have a secret message party. You get to comment, ask questions, or basically write whatever you want anonymously. It gives you a lot of new ideas you never thought of with so much fun. It makes the dinner much more interactive, exciting, and most importantly more fun. Enjoy their appetizers, entrees, and cheese fondue while replying secret messages. The chocolate fondue at the end is just the perfect way to top off your stomach after a fantastic meal.Saint-Saphorin “Pierre Noirse” 2022$24 per glassPlan-Joyeux Rouge (2021)$22 per glassLavaux Blend “La Vigne a Paul” (2020)$22 per glassThe Mixed BoardThree different cheeses & charcuteries$24 for two ; $42 for fourChalet’s Pasta$27Truffle Fondue$49 ppChocolate Fondue$20 pp

Fun spot for fondue! Wish they had more of a cocktail list outside of vermouth spritzes. A bit pricey but good quality. Nice outdoor seating area too

Super cute Swiss restaurant serving raclette and fondue. Cheese was excellent, wine was great and chocolate was yummy. Great for big groups or intimate meals.

A little bit of Switzerland in NYC! The quintessential Swiss Fondue dish was delicious! The steak tartare was yummy! This wine bar has wonderful wine options! Service was great! Around the corner from the meat packing! Close to the blue and red subway line (14th street station). Definitely recommend this wine bar and you have to order the fondue!!

Review 11 (2024-10-05 - Rating: 4)
The server was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a classic fondue and their house wine. The server was right, their house wine paired very well with the fondue. The fondue came with fingerling potatoes, pickles, and some radishes. The cheese was flavorful but also not too salty nor too overpowering. The potatoes were cooked perfectly, combined with the natural sweetness, it was perfect for the fondue. The sourdough bread was quite nice, too. The only imperfection was that they forgot the beef tartare I ordered, but it also didn’t showed on my check anyway. Overall, I had a good time here.

Review 12 (2022-11-06 - Rating: 5)
The food here is great and very authentic Swiss. I am from Switzerland originally and the fondue is just like what my grandma makes. The decor makes you feel like you are in a chalet and the wait staff are all super friendly and speak French. I would definitely recommend that everyone should give The Lavaux a try. You will not be disappointed.

Absolutely love this spot! Dropped for some wine and some appetizers - will definitely return for the Fondue!Food was authentically Swiss and just incredible, wine was fantastic (apparently the restaurant makes the wine themselves in Switzerland!!!) and the interior of the restaurant was stunning! Highly recommend this restaurant!

Loved everything about this place. Came here before night but I will definitely coming back for dinner with friends! (If you love wine and you think you tried most of the wines, there are more wines you would meet)

Authentic Swiss🇨🇭 restaurant in the heart of the Village. Come for the fondue 🫕 and stay for the wine 🍷The Lavaux, Swiss wine & fondue bar has a lovely selection of Swiss wines from the Lavaux region of course. I’ve also had their delicious Salade Fribourgeoise, a salad with small cornichons, radish, and of course cheese.The ski ⛷️ cabin is a must for a date night and the chalet 🏡 is a wonderful option for large parties.Oh and by the way, I am Swiss so I know what I am talking about.

Review 19 (2022-06-09 - Rating: 5)
If you come here on a weekday, you have pretty good chance to get a gondola, even without the reservation.Definitely order cheese fondue.The prices can seem pretty high, but food is delicious so its worth it.

Best restaurant in the west village! Highly recommend the cheese fondue, they have delicious salads, and their chocolate mousse is to die for (I never leave this place without eating one!). The waiters are super friendly. Very professional service and THEY PRODUCE THEIR OWN WINE!!!

This place is an incredible fondue spot! 🫕 The Lavaux serves an unbelievable selection of delicious 🤤 charcuterie boards and fondue pots! 🍲 Definitely get the Cheese 🧀 Board served with cornichons 🥒, radish, salt 🧂, fig jam, and the Excellence (Moitié-Moitié) Fondue with Gruyere AOP and Vacherin AOP cheese served with cornichons, potatoes 🥔, radish, and a refillable basket 🧺 of bread! 🍞 Service is exceptional and quick ⏲️, staff 👨‍🍳 is super friendly and professional, the place is beautifully decorated 🛋️, and the ambience 🎶 is fantastic. They have lots of indoor and outdoor seating. 🪑 Boards are half off 🏷️ during happy hour. 🕓 I wish I came here sooner and more often!

Such a divine delectable experience. A friend recommended and did not disappoint. Two of us had the fondue and a mixed board. Was plenty. We almost got the raclette side as well but would have been ridiculous haha. Swiss wine selection was great. Christian was a fantastic friendly server. Will def be back!

Review 23 (2022-11-12 - Rating: 4)
Came on a Weds evening. Cozy place with wood beamed ceilings and the smell of warm delicious cheese. Got the Duck Saucisson, Wild boar Saucisson, and Duck Prosciutto to start, followed by the boletes fondue, which was incredible. Didn’t love the pickles to dip in and wish they provided one other thing aside from that, bread, and potatoes to dip, but whatever. The fondue was DELICIOUS and very filling.

Review 24 (2022-10-12 - Rating: 5)
What a delight! My Swiss wine background was limited, to say the least, but the servers were engaging and knowledgeable. I had a cheese and charcuterie board and the steak tartare - superb (though it was large enough that it was too much for me alone! I could t resist).

Review 25 (2024-08-17 - Rating: 5)
Had a fantastic start to our anniversary here! We had the cutest time sitting in the little gondola at the front! Our server, Taylor, was incredibly kind and let us taste a couple of their chasselas before selecting a bottle! We got one of each of the boards and were stuffed by the time we left! Authentic service, and we really enjoyed how welcoming they were of all the walkins! We highly recommend for anyone looking for good cheese and charcuterie, and maybe trying to new wine.

Review 26 (2024-04-20 - Rating: 4)
The charcuterie and cheeses were amazing. We mainly went for the fondue but it tasted like they dumped an entire jar of minced garlic in there. If you’re a garlic lover I wouldn’t even get the garlic add-in, it’s way too overpowering and far too salty. Disappointing because that’s the main reason we went, but the service was fantastic.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Lavaux Wine Bar in the heart of NYC, and it was truly an exquisite experience. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the stage for a delightful evening. The selection of wines at Lavaux is nothing short of impressive. Whether youre a seasoned wine connoisseur or a casual wine enthusiast, their extensive menu caters to all palates. The knowledgeable and friendly staff, specifically Jasmine, are more than happy to guide you through the options, ensuring you find the perfect pairing for your preferences. The attention to detail in the presentation of both the wines and the accompanying charcuterie board was exceptional. Each sip and bite felt like a journey through flavors, highlighting the thoughtfulness that goes into curating the menu. The cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere, complete with dim lighting and comfortable seating, created the perfect setting for an intimate gathering or a celebratory night out. What truly stood out at Lavaux was the impeccable service. The staffs passion for wine and dedication to customer satisfaction added an extra layer of enjoyment to the evening. Their recommendations were spot-on, and it was evident that they genuinely cared about creating a memorable experience for every guest. Don’t miss out on the secret message party they do on certain nights too! Cheers to Lavaux for an unforgettable evening of great company and even better wine!

Amazing minimalist wine and fondue bar in the West Village. Great design and delicious!

Review 32 (2023-09-22 - Rating: 5)
My partner and I are fondue people, and were very loyal to La Lavaux. Staff is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the menu, which ranges from no-frills Alpine classics to inventive revisions (Szechuan fondue is very good). The dining room is gorgeous, with lots of little traditional design details, but booking the gondola table for 2 is definitely the way to go.

Review 33 (2024-06-01 - Rating: 5)
If youre a fan of sweet wines and find yourself craving a sip in a cozy setting, youve got to check out The Lavaux. I popped in recently just for their wine tasting and, let me tell you, it was a real treat. Theyve got a pretty impressive selection of wines, and the sweet ones especially stood out—they were fantastic!The vibe at The Lavaux is exactly what youd hope for in a cheese and wine bar: intimate, relaxed, and just upscale enough to feel special without being stuffy. I didn’t dive into the cheese this time around, but you can bet it’s on my list for the next visit.So, if youre looking to explore some delightful Swiss wines, The Lavaux is your spot. Whether it’s a date night, catching up with friends, or just a chill evening out, this place has got the goods. Cheers to a great find!

Cute secret message party every tuesday. came here before valentine’s day and was the perfect spot for good wine and cheese with friends. the messages start coming around 7pm. choose a table. write a question on a note pad. give the question to the server to secretly deliver to your target table of choice. repeat and answer questions that come your way. such a fun concept and great night.

This wine bar is excellent. The staff are absolutely lovely and very knowledgeable. Each time we go it is better than the last.Their wine list is exclusively Swiss wines and they offer a flight, which is a really fun way to try a bunch of different wine. We always get the chefs selection meat and cheese plate and each item that is included is really very high quality. Delicious!

We had an amazing time at Le Lavaux! Fondue was espectacular! Great balance of the wine and the sides. They even went to the liquor store next door to get our special request of licquor. Needless to say service was with Suisse class! We had the chocolate fondue too! Out of this World! The ambiance was like a true Suisse challet, with imported furniture and of course ingredients! Highly reccomend!

Special place – a (French) Swiss wine bar!Great selection of Swiss wine, and fun fondue to go with it.Fun space too, including outdoor seating (great for COVID times, or just winter vibes) and a gondola (date spot)!That said, it’s poor value (as with many Swiss things – expensive for good, but not great, quality): $38 for a flight?? (Admittedly 4 wines and generous pours, but Corkbuzz in Chelsea market is better wine at half the price.)The service is also lacking: not bringing a fresh glass is fine at a casual wine bar, but not at $38. ... and wait staff didn’t bother to clear the table of used glasses. This is just lazy.Overall mixed: special, but flawed.

We were a group of four who had a wonderful meal at The Lavaux.We started with a charcuterie board and a citrus kale salad. We then split a three cheese fondue and a bolets fondue. We paired everything with a delicious chasselas wine. Finally, we shared a chocolate fondue.All the food and wine was delicious and we can’t wait to try the other fondue flavors.The wait staff was so friendly and helpful, answering many questions and creating a lovely atmosphere.We highly recommend and will definitely return.

Review 47 (2023-03-28 - Rating: 5)
Incredible experience! This is a wonderful restaurant. The staff was so knowledgeable and attentive. And the food was beyond incredible. The fondue itself was perfect, a nice portion and so delicious. The charcuterie is unique with meats and flavors I’ve never seen anywhere else. The Swiss wines were light and airy providing the perfect accompaniment to the fondue itself. Definitely get the chocolate fondue it’s very good with fruit and waffles, the perfect end to a lovely meal. Wishing this place many years of success. I’m so impressed!

If you like very good quality of cheese and wine and you are use to French and Switzerland cheese and wine, just go!The staff is very nice, the services is excellent, the Mousse au chocolat is excellent like if I could put 6/5 I would do it eyes closed!🤍

It was an amazing experience. We felt like we’re in a Swiss Chalet. Cheese are incredibly delicious. Wine is perfectly matched with cheese and fondue. Pickles were unnecessary but potato and tomatoes go perfect with fondue cheese. Highly recommend place 💯

Review 50 (2021-09-11 - Rating: 5)
I am in love. Admittedly, Im no fondue expert—this was my first real experience (excluding chocolate fountains at corporate events)—but everything I had was simply mind-blowing.You have a choice of a number of fondue types from classical gruyere to more the more exotic porcini mushroom-infused. We were feeling spicy and decided to get the Poivre du Vignoble which has Sichuan peppercorns. Holy smokes, this was the best decision ever.Each fondue comes with bread and a small platter of vegetables including potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and pickles. We were a little skeptical about the pickles, but they ended up being delicious dipped in cheese. I do wish they had given us some more variety or choices of what to dip, but it was plenty for 3 people.The wine list is extensive, but we went with rose because summer. Service was lovely. And the space is warm and cozy, evoking a Swiss chalet. You can see them making the fondue at the back of the restaurant, and you can book the little ski gondola at the front for a romantic date.

Came here around 10pm on a Saturday and was able to get seated right away. The place was at about 75% capacity. The music wasn’t too loud, so it’s a good spot to talk. We got the classic fondue and it was good, it came with bread, potatoes and pickles. The overall vibe of the place is on the chill side.

My husband and I were happy to celebrate the first of August, the Swiss National Day at le Lavaux, an authentic Swiss restaurant known for its Swiss specialties from a distinct region around lake Geneva( le lac Leman).We started our celebration with a small plateau de charcuterie and then enjoyed a delicious cheese fondue( we chose the Assemblage, a creamy fondue made with three cheeses from the region.)paired of course with a nice bottle of Chasselas, a white wine also from the region. Many diners were wearing their red t-shirts in a celebratory fashion.We thoroughly enjoyed being at Le Lavaux and were pleased to see that the restaurant is a success !

Nice and crispy but not overly toasted.The waiter was very delightful and recommended us a good wine to go with the meal.

Wonderful little alpine bistro and wine bar in the heart of NYC. We came for the raclette brunch and it was an amazing experience, reminiscent of being slopeside in Chamonix. Some of the staff are from Switzerland, and show great care and passion for the wine and food of the region. If you are looking for something a little different than the typical pancake and waffle brunch, this is your spot.

I hosted a surprise birthday party for my husband here last night! 7 of us in the chalet. I booked about two months in advance because I have no chill (probably not necessary to book that early but it was for a December party so I wanted to make sure) and from the very beginning the customer service was wonderful! My original guest list changed a bit and they were very accommodating (from 11 to 7) and they also let me come a little early to set up some table decorations. Nathaniel was our host and also our server and truly made the night a success, from helping to choose the right fondue to coming up with a fake storyline to get my husband to go inside the restaurant and ask for my work partys reservation. The food, wine and service was lovely as was the chalet. It was quite warm inside for a mid-December evening and so cozy and adorable. They have a Bluetooth speaker inside and we designated a DJ and enjoyed lots of fun music. People were walking by us outside on the street telling us how fun and cute we looked! Just be careful of the bike lane as you enter and exit! ;) My guests had a blast. The entire night will be something my husband and I never forget. I probably wont plan another surprise party for a while (too much stress keeping secrets!) but this couldnt have gone any better and Lavaux (and Nathaniel!!) made it happen. I will recommend this place to anyone.

Delicious and great service.

Review 104 (2024-04-06 - Rating: 5)
Okay, so last year I went to Geneva and fell in love with Chasselas wine. I knew that Switzerland exports a small percentage of their wine so I brought a few bottles back to last me for a few months. Low and behold, my SO found The Lavaux and surprised me for my birthday! I was finally reunited with Chassealas wine! The wine list was just to my liking and actually exceeded my expectations. The ambiance is romantic, cozy, and dimly lit. Our waiter was phenomenal and was very pleasant! We ended up ordering the truffle fondue and it was sO delicious! After a while the truffle did become overpowering, but the fondue def filled us up that we never made it to the chocolate fondue for dessert. I highly recommend visiting The Lavaux for a cute date night, dinner night, birthday, or just catching up with friends.

Went here with 2 friends and loved it. Got a fondue for 3 and enjoyed it. It was better than any fondue Ive ever had and was presented well. The whole restaurant made it feel like I was in Switzerland and had such a cool vibe. Loved this place even though it was a little bit pricey (but hey what isnt in NYC)

Review 125 (2023-04-23 - Rating: 4)
Fondue was excellent, though the bread was very fresh (vs slightly stale - which is how the bread is meant to come with fondue). We had the traditional and mushroom.Salads were also well done - we had both.Duck saucisson was a lovely touch!!Only feedback is that there was 1 server for indoors and outdoors - and several tables seated for dinner. He was doing his best running between tables, but there needed to be 1 more person helping him (we waited quite awhile).

Review 130 (2022-05-30 - Rating: 4)
I give a 4 star because less just doesn’t feel right, but buyer beware for what they offer it is overpriced by 2x.Now - the experience was great, live music was a plus. Everything we had was very well prepared and Swiss apparent. Obviously wine was great, mostly all from Switzerland - a unique experience to say the least. The fondue was created and prepared well with a unique Swiss flair.Overall I’d recommend it.

Review 133 (2022-08-28 - Rating: 4)
We had the fondue here, which was good....I just wish they had more options to go with the fondue, especially meat items. We got some bread, pickles, radishes, and potatoes to dip into our fondue. I am not a fan of pickles and they were placed on top of the potatoes. They very graciously brought more potatoes that had not been tainted by the pickles. I did also wish the potatoes had been seasoned a bit.Our server was attentive and the experience itself was great!!

Review 134 (2021-05-28 - Rating: 5)
Weve been looking for really good fondue in NYC, and now weve found it. Very cute, attractive comfortable place with exposed beams and friendly efficient service. The Swiss wines were good and interesting. We had an excellent salad with hard boiled egg and cubes of cheese and roast potato and walnuts. The salad was well thought out, excellent ingredients, and a generous portion -- we split it for two and it was nearly too much. Then we had the Assemblage fondue and it was very tasty and perfectly prepared. Served with little tomatoes, radishes, gherkins, pickles, potatoes and scallions. And excellent crusty bread. This will be our go-to fondue restaurant from now on, so glad that we found it.

The service was great too! Must try.

A wonderful Swiss dining experience here in NYC. The service is impeccable. Everyone at the Lavaux takes the time to introduce you to the food and wine, which is quite special given that everything comes from Switzerland. Its an immersive and intimate experience dining here. The wine is honestly the best wine Ive ever had - so smooth and silky. Im normally a fan of red wine but their chasselas are hard to beat! The fondue too is just amazing. They know what theyre doing here. Good vibes all around from the friendly staff and the upbeat music playing. You are treated like a special guest every time you enter the Lavaux. Will definitely be coming back!

They have awesome Swiss wines (try the flight and find your favorite), great fondue (the basic fribourgeois is all you need) and raclette. The tartines or the boards are cant-miss lighter fare or starters. The tartare and salad are great as well. I think thats pretty much the whole menu. The service is consistently amazing. Yes, I go too often. Yes, Ill go again.

WOW! This place is absolutely incredible! Having visited Switzerland several times I can honestly say this is a 100% authentic Swiss dining experience! Our group of 5 spent almost 6 hours dining and drinking (in classic Swiss fashion we took our time). The owners have their own vineyard in the Lavaux region of Switzerland and import their own wines of which we sampled several of the Chasselas (including the Dezaley Grand Pertuis which was out of this world!). The mixed charcuterie board was fantastic, the Raclette was amazing, the Creation fondue (classic gruyere and vacherin) was as authentic as any fondue Ive had in Switzerland, and the chocolate mousse dessert was ridiculously good. The service was incredible and the staff are all extremely knowledgeable and kind. We will definitely be coming back to sample the other fondue options and, of course, more of the incredible Swiss wines!
