THE TRADITION EVOLVES: BEAU-RIVAGE PALACE OPENS SUSHI RESTAURANT

Sushi at the venerable Beau-Rivage Palace? That’s right…Le Miyako Lausanne, under the direction of Chef Hayato Sugimoto, recently Beau-Rivage Palace opened at the legendary Beau-Rivage Palace. “As our belle époque hotel marks its 150th anniversary this summer,” says François Dussart, General Manager, “the opening of this innovative attraction underscores that this is a hotel that is 150 years young, rather than 150 years old.”

All summer, Chef Sugimoto has been preparing for the restaurant’s opening by serving platters of sushi to lunch guests and to those relaxing by the pool…to tremendous accolades. Sugimoto, a native of Kochi, is adept and accomplished: he can prepare 700 pieces of sushi in one hour and has worked with sushi for 14 years.
