Nice authentic Malaysian home cooked food. My favourite is the laksa. Female chef from JB. However the boss is a bit eccentric, not friendly to non French speaking customers. He asked me if I speak French. I said no & he said too bad. When I didn’t pass my plate to him, he said this is not a palace. Food is good but owner’s attitude is bad so I won’t go back

In Malay, rumah means house/home and it's easy to understand why the owners have given their restaurant this name; you immediately feel at home when you enter the place and are met with a smile and an invitation to sit down. The roles are inverse compared to most restaurants, the wife is in the kitchen, the husband is serving and entertaining, while the little dog is barking each time another dog passes in the street, like a good watch dog should do. The menu is interesting, featuring both vegetarian and vegan dishes and everything that you are served is cooked while you are waiting, using local products and spiced to your taste. There is a rather good choice of quality wines with a small proportion of Swiss compared to French reds. They are rather pricey. Fine wines with hot food is maybe not such a good combination, so we prefer beer or tea to wine to accompany our food. Highly recommended for the adventurous gourmet.

It's a really lovely place where you can have the real Malaysian food. It's really good and the chef is really nice. She can explain and adapt the dish according to your taste. I've been there two days in a row! It's not like a Chinese restaurant, it's a real new food experience!

Had the pleasure to be treated to an exquisite experience. Unbeknownst to us we visited during the chef special japanese night which they organize twice a year. Delicate food made with a authentic passion and care. It was an absolute pleasure to chat with the owners and chef about, sharing good vibes and discussing about their exquisite fish and how they source it, the sushi rice and prune wine I’ll be back for the Malay experience :)

Delicious food! We had been looking for good Malaysian food for some time and finally found it - it is so fresh and not at all greasy. We also enjoyed the homemade chilli sauce. Good choice for vegetarians too. Very friendly owners. We look forward to coming back next time we are in Lausanne.

We were vacationing in the city and stumbled upon this Malaysian restaurant while researching Google map. We made our way there with excitement only to be met by disappointment. When we arrived at approximately 6:15 pm on Dec 20, the restaurant was empty, but we were told by the staff that it was actually closed for a private event despite the fact that we informed them that we will be done eating within 30 minutes. There was no signage indication at the restaurant and Google map was not even updated to reflect the closure that evening.

Authentic homemade food with very nice service! Reasonable prices as well, 5/5 ✨

As a Malaysian myself, words cannot describe how happy I am to have found this restaurant that feels like home or 'rumah.' 🥰 The food is fresh, authentic, and scrumptious! You will be seeing me every week! 😁

Very nice food, tasted just like in Malaysia. Moderately spicy, but served with homemade spicy sauce to adjust. Large choice of vegetarian options and very friendly atmosphere. We will certainly come back.

Delicious Malaysian cuisine in a cosy and warm restaurant setting. Food are fresh, tasty and made from local ingredients. Service was pleasant and friendly.

The food is delicious and they are very welcoming. I've tried various dishes and all were quite tasty.

I had a great time during my visit. The laksa is very delicious.

Lausanne has a number of very good restaurants - Rumah is a phenomenal restaurant. Quite frankly, it would be at home in any of the culinary capitals of the world... but we are very grateful that it is here. As well as amazing food for omnivores, there are also excellent vegetarian and vegan options... and the hospitality of Audrey and Olivier is first class. Highly recommended.

Very good food and funny service, will go again for sure

Intimate restaurant where there is a passion for excellent local products and for making the customer feel at home. The owners are the chef and the waiter and they care about making every detail meaningful and good. We came with our baby who was treated as a welcome guest, the waiter took the time to explain each dish in tantalizing detail and the food was delicious and fresh. We will be coming back.
