About TOM Café – Restaurant du Musée Olympique

TOM Café occupies the upper floor of the Olympic Museum at 1 Quai d’Ouchy. What sets it apart from a passing coffee stop is the terrace facing Lake Geneva and the Alps; indoors, the decor refers to the Games. You can enter after a museum visit or through the north entrance without crossing the exhibition rooms, according to Switzerland Tourism. That also makes it an option for someone accompanying a museum visitor without buying an exhibition ticket.

Vaud’s tourism office advertises a varied menu and a Saturday and Sunday brunch from 11:00 to 14:30 for which reservations are required. Guests often praise the view, buffet and breadth of choice; some find that service or value does not always match the setting. Outdoor seating depends on weather and should not be promised simply because a table is booked. Nor should the weekend brunch format be confused with an ordinary weekday lunch.

The museum stands above the Ouchy promenade, and the restaurant normally opens Tuesday to Sunday, closing on Monday according to the 2026 tourism listing. For a museum day and a short break, staying in the same building saves a return trip up and down the slope. If you prefer regional Swiss dishes and a longer service window, Vieil Ouchy is below by the port. Check availability and terms through the official booking link, particularly before travelling specifically for brunch.
