The Entrecôte de Boeuf was amazing! Awesome friendly staff who made us feel very much at home.

We had a fantastic meal at the restaurant. I emailed Stephane before and he had food prepared, vegetable Thai style curry, for those in our party who were Vegan. They stated it was the best vegan food all holiday with loads of flavour and not too spicy. The rest of the party had the fondue with mushrooms and steak which you could cook to your taste. Stephane was a great host and allowed us to taste a couple of wines before we decided which bottle to have. Would recommend.

A jewel in Lausanne city centre. Great spot for Apero with friends or quiet Sunday afternoon.

The atmosphere at this Swiss restaurant was underwhelming: rustic but lacking charm, with a chaotic and overcrowded bar and service area dominating the view from the central table. Half of our group enjoyed the fondue à la brisure de truffe noire, which was well-prepared but felt stingy on the truffle shavings. Additionally, the small bowl of potatoes was charged separately on top of the 34 CHF, which seemed excessive. The other half opted for the ravioli aux homard, where the lobster filling was fresh and flavorful, but the pasta dough felt industrial and bland, taking away from the overall enjoyment of the dish. At 53 CHF per person (excluding wine), the dining experience felt overpriced, especially given the disorganized and overcrowded surroundings. While the dishes had potential, the overall experience did not meet expectations for a special occasion.

Great local spot with delicious, well priced food. We had the steak (finished off at your table) and it was the best we had on our European travels thus far. The owner and his daughter were welcoming. We’d recommend including this spot in between your shopping and strolling.

Authentic Swiss dinner place. It seems very unassuming but it fills up so I recommend reservations. Great knowledge of gluten free items.
