Wonderful food and location, the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous and directly located at the lake Geneva promenade. Parking is nearby. We came here for Iranian cuisine and were not disappointed - divine dishes and friendly service! We will come again.

As a long-time patron, I can confidently say Palais Oriental stands among the finest restaurants in the Montreux region. This gem offers an extraordinary fusion of Persian and Moroccan cuisines in a setting that's simply breathtaking. The location is unbeatable - perfectly positioned on Lake Geneva, offering stunning waterfront views. But what truly sets this place apart is its remarkable interior. The restaurant is adorned with exquisite handcrafted oriental decorations, from walls to ceiling, creating an atmosphere that transports you to another world. The owner, an avid art collector, has transformed the upper floor into a private gallery housing a unique collection of artwork - do ask for permission to view this hidden treasure. The food is nothing short of exceptional - a solid 5-star culinary experience. While the prices reflect its fine dining status, the quality, ambiance, and overall experience fully justify the cost. Pro tip: If you're visiting Montreux and seeking a truly memorable dining experience, this is a must-visit destination. Make sure to request a table with a lake view!

Best spot to try Persian food with lac leman(lake Geneva) view. It is decorated beautifully which intensifies the experience of trying Persian food in an eastern designed restaurant. With kind staff and awesome manager? Merci Palais Oriental❤️

I reall loved the place, vibes, atmosphere, service everything there was amazing, but the special thing that the owner came around each table to ask them about their visit and their feedback, this was the highlight point ?? Many thanks for that. Anyway absolutely worth every single minute ??❤️?
