    Great view of the cathedral from inside this restaurant/café. Simple lunch menu but everything absolutely fresh and well presented. You may need to book for lunch as this place is popular with locals.

    Perfect lunch light and healthy, fresh and tasty. So many vegan options. Seemed everything was organic too. Cafe-cum-lunch stop with gorgeous view of the cathedral. Loved the bowl of the day. Also the desert (vegan brownie) was amazing. Fresh made juice also was delicious. Recommend for a homemade & good-for-you meal. Food was prepared quickly also. Central location.

    Bright, friendly place with beautiful, flavoursome food. Each dish has a little more story to it, including beverages and the small businesses just starting out which they are seeking to support! Exceedingly kind and friendly - a perfect lunch spot.

    A real jewel in Lausanne: fantastic home-made vegetarian food. Small menu changing frequently. Only fresh ingredients. Combined with outstanding service and a personal note, this is by far my favorite place for lunch in Lausanne.

    Small restaurant with very friendly and attentive staff. The products are of highly quality and the presentation of the dishes is well taken care of. I have come here twice already and will definitely come again. This restaurant offers also vegan options and adapts well to its customers.

    My husband and I ordered the pea soup (du jour) which came with bread, and a bowl, all vegan and gluten-free. Very tasty and well spiced. We also ordered a chocolate mousse (vegetarian) and an apple pie. Not too sweet which is what we prefer as we usually don’t eat sweets. And a fresh ginger lemon drink which was fresh and well balanced. We did not have an English menu to order from but our waitress was very helpful (and friendly) and explained the menu options very well. I only wish we were staying in Lausanne so we could return. Definitely recommend.

    The food was good, although the service was not so friendly. We were two people having lunch, and afterwards I had to take a meeting call. They were rude and said that it’s not a place to work at and that having a call was not acceptable (even though my speaking volume was the same as the normal conversation I had just before). I tried to explain in a friendly way the importance of the call and that it was going to be short. I was even sitting furthest away from all other customers so no one could get bothered. The waitress then sent her male colleague to speak with me and even threatened to call the police. So I had to awkwardly explain the situation to the person I was on the call with and reschedule our meeting. This has never happened to me before at a cafe/ restaurant when I’ve had to take a call. I’m not going back here again, unfortunately.

    Everything was delicious!!! We had the 2 egg toast and the banana with peanut butter toast, a croissant, and an energy ball! Everything was really good! The oat matcha latte was perfect:)

    A green veggi juice and this place would be perfect for me. It is already special.

    Food is good, cozy and nice place, but the coffee needs improvement. Specialty coffee would be a great addition to this lovely new brunch venue.

    We didn’t realize October 1st is a World Vegetarian Day, it has existed since 1977. Coincidentally, we had lunch here on that day! We were pleasantly surprised by the food options (gluten free, vegan options), quality of the food, service, and atmosphere of this restaurant. We will gladly recommend L’Echo to anyone. We had a veggie burger, a boulgour plate with mushroom sauce, a sponge cake with orange blossom essence and orange salad. Every bits and every bites were delicious!

👍 I’ve visit this place a couple of times and I’ve enjoyed each one of it. I always choose the same burger though. 7/10. The employees could smile a bit more maybe? I know it’s a hard job but well… smiling is free! I’ll be back 😌
