"Really great fondue isn’t easy to find in NYC, but The Lavaux is good enough to make up for that fact. This traditional Swiss restaurant in the West Village has an array of cozy things, like a window table that’s inside of an enclosed ski lift car, a weathered wooden table with a built-in bread slicer, and enough copper bowls to make Julia Child jealous. You’ll want to get fondue here, obviously, but there are also some salads, cheese and charcuterie boards, and things like beef tartare. There’s also an impressive selection of Swiss wines." - bryan kim, neha talreja, will hartman, sonal shah
