Philippe Rochat CHEF, HOTEL DE VILLE, CRISSIER

Where does the chef at one of Switzerland's two Michelin three-starred restaurants go for a bite to eat? Here, a few of his favorites:
RESTAURANT LE PETIT 74 Rte. des Deux Villages, St.-Légier; 41-21/943-1185; dinner for two $160. "Chef André Minder cooks his fish with just a little olive oil and lemon."
RESTAURANT DU CHASSEUR La Rte. Suisse, Allaman; 41-21/807-3073; dinner for two $128. "Wild mushrooms are amazing here, and Marcelo Fernandez's fricassee of chanterelles is the best."
LA POMME DE PIN 11 Rue Cité Derrière, Lausanne; 41-21/323-4656; dinner for two $96. "This is the place for classic French cuisine, such as rabbit tournedos and warm chocolate soufflé."
RESTAURANT DU PORT 9 Rue du Port, Rolle; 41-21/825-1520; dinner for two $64. "We go to the restaurant's lakeside terrace for freshly caught perch cooked à la meunière and served only with a lemon wedge and french fries."
