In the kitchen, chef Laura Vaissade highlights seasonal vegetables, crisps up dried fruit and invites us to rediscover spices. On arrival, we enter a large sunny terrace, where parasols offer shade to those who want it. The vegetation resembles a vegetable garden, giving you the impression of being in a friend&#8217;s backyard. The service is welcoming and kind, and the staff come to meet us with infectious good humor.    <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16081\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16081\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16081\" src=\"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/250516_La-Replique_Assiette-vege-1-2.jpg\" alt=\"250516 la r\u00e9plique plate veg 1 2\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/250516_La-Replique_Assiette-vege-1-2.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/250516_La-Replique_Assiette-vege-1-2-400x500.jpg 400w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/250516_La-Replique_Assiette-vege-1-2-300x375.jpg 300w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/250516_La-Replique_Assiette-vege-1-2-600x750.jpg 600w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/250516_La-Replique_Assiette-vege-1-2-900x1125.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16081\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The vegetarian proposal at La R\u00e9plique \u00a9Edouard Amoiel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soup of the day<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the menu, only one starter: the vegan soup of the day, with fennel, dill and orange. A bold, unusual trio, very interesting to discover. The fennel adds a nice roundness, the dill gives a singular aromatic touch and the orange is there to add a touch of acidity. An original and successful appetizer.   <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then comes the vegetarian plate &#8220;la r\u00e9plique&#8221;, featuring several delicious preparations. First, a rosemary-fermented socca, a thick chickpea-flour pancake, nicely toasted on the edges and soft on the inside. Next, creamy labne topped with sunflower seeds toasted with tamari, and braised fennel and leeks. All served with a salad of white beans, olives, celery and parsley.   <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16080\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16080\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16080\" src=\"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/250516_La-Replique_Ambiance4-2.jpg\" alt=\"250516 la r\u00e9plique ambiance4 2\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/250516_La-Replique_Ambiance4-2.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/250516_La-Replique_Ambiance4-2-400x500.jpg 400w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/250516_La-Replique_Ambiance4-2-300x375.jpg 300w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/250516_La-Replique_Ambiance4-2-600x750.jpg 600w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/250516_La-Replique_Ambiance4-2-900x1125.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16080\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">On the terrace of La R\u00e9plique \u00a9Edouard Amoiel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Braised vegetables<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A balance between the depth of the braised vegetables, the crunch of the toasted seeds and the freshness of the salad. Put it all together on the socca to enjoy a harmony of flavors and textures to die for. Each ingredient is enhanced by spices, aromatic herbs and a preparation method that allows it to deliver its full potential. A plate that perfectly illustrates the gourmet creativity of plant-based cuisine.
