Just 10 minutes from Morges, the Auberge communale de Colombier returns with generous bistro cuisine, Vaud spirit and classic tableside service.
The Auberge communale of Colombier (VD) – the return of a great Vaud inn.
Just 10 minutes from Morges, nestled in the heart of the village of Colombier, this Auberge communale is coming back to life.
Since its reopening in November 2025, this emblematic house has finally rediscovered what has always been its true strength: the soul of a real inn – warm, generous, and deeply human.
This revival is led by Mr. Laurent Hansen, a passionate professional of front-of-house service and human connection, and a true expert in hospitality and catering. Driven by a clear vision, he aims to restore the noble character of a traditional Vaud village inn and to definitively turn the page on the past.
Here, nothing has been left to chance: the welcome, the spirit, the cuisine and service, the décor, and even the music have all been reimagined to offer a sincere, coherent, and intentional experience.
Today, the establishment welcomes residents of the Morges region, local businesses and professionals, as well as tourists and visitors passing through in search of authenticity.
The Auberge thus becomes an intergenerational meeting place, where everyone immediately feels at home, around a “Bistro” cuisine that is both generous and indulgent.
The cuisine draws inspiration from traditional Vaud inns and Lyonnais bouchons. A brasserie and bistro-style cooking that is clear, honest, and deeply rooted in the local terroir. Products are carefully selected, recipes highlight traditional dishes and flavors from the past, along with an accessible bistronomic approach that respects seasons and true taste.
Here, cooking is about pleasure. Plating is about bringing people together. Serving is about sharing.
The Auberge communale of Colombier also marks the return of gesture, fire, and spectacle. It revives a rare art: tableside service at the guéridon. A deliberate return to the fundamentals of characterful dining, where the maître d’hôtel’s gestures become emotion and performance.
Guests rediscover the crackle of flambéing, the aromas rising through the dining room, and the joy of dishes prepared before their eyes. To enjoy, for example: kidneys flambéed with Cognac and old-style mustard sauce, or Crêpes Suzette flambéed with Grand Marnier – along with other timeless classics that awaken memories and delight the palate.
A lively, authentic, almost theatrical moment – and above all, unforgettable.
Open Tuesday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. non-stop, the Auberge adapts to everyone’s rhythm of life: efficient weekday lunches with daily specials and an Express menu, indulgent afternoon breaks, shared aperitifs, and warm, welcoming dinners.
Motorcyclists, cyclists, hikers, families, colleagues, retirees, and friends all come together in a relaxed atmosphere where time seems to slow down.
An obvious choice – just 10 minutes from Morges
Easily accessible from Morges, the Auberge offers an authentic escape from the bustle, without ever feeling remote. It stands out as a natural stop for those wishing to discover a charming Vaud village, enjoy sincere cuisine, and experience a genuine moment around a table that brings people together.
A reinvented inn, a generous table, a rediscovered spirit.
