    Good food. Small portion. A bit expensive even by Swiss standards. Friendly staff. The sunny terrace was a bliss.

    I think that it's better to order brunch so that you can choose 2 dishes at 24 Swiss franc. My friend ordered the normal tartar but it was kinda small and she was disappointed. For brunch menu, you can add sweet if you want to. The taste of tartar was okay for me.

    This is tucked away so don’t miss it. Very friendly service. Nice interior decoration. We ordered the grilled vegetables salad to start and share which was very fresh and tasting. Then we had some of the toasts. Two savory and one sweet. All were very well presented, lovely flavors, great bread, and very tasty. They have a terrace too. Overall we were very happy to eat there and we will visit again.

    Hiddem gem up the stairs on a terrace - probably better known for its coffee and brunch, but also recommend it for a low-key, casual and quiet outdoor dinner atmosphere where you can get a selection of appetizers/tapas style and a few mains, as well as good natural wines. The salmon tartare was delicious! They take reservations but you probably don't need one in the evening, just at brunch.

    Tasty and fresh food, each dish is creatively and careful prepared to give you the best flavour. Went there a few times already and tried the beef, salmon, burrata as well the desserts and I can say all are delicious. Atmosphere is very jazzy and calm, loved it!

    I found the place good looking with a nice atmosphere. The food looks and tastes quite well. Didn't like that it took over an hour for taking and preparing our order. The portions were quite small, making the place expensive if you are on the hungry side.

    We really enjoyed our visit Both the main course and the desert had an amazing taste. The fact that they're using locally sourced ingredients is a big plus. Do yourself a favor and get a coffee as well while you're there.

    Nice spot for a light dinner, plenty of seating inside and out. The portions are a little on the small side but everything was very tasty!

    Really nice and cozy place. The place is full of light, with a nice ambiance and atmosphere.

    Nice coffee which is great start! However, menu seems to be trying too hard. Maybe worth considering shortening it and focusing on a few dishes. It would be great to be able to eat some eggs to get at least an option to eat a normal brunch. There’s also very limited vegan options so if you are lactose intolerant, get ready to ask a lot of questions to see how to get a balanced dish without all the cheese that is everywhere in both savory and sweet dishes. The sourdough bread was stale and the mousse avocado was the tiniest portion I had ever seen served in a restaurant. Terrace lacks atmosphere, the interior is nicer. Ps: it’s a bit uncomfortable that some of the staff speaks no French at all. My mother asked for the bill and my sister had to jump in and translate to the waiter because he didn’t understand.

Our favorite place for all our events (family and corporate), providing friendly and great service, and amazing dishes. A must "go to" place when in Vaud.

    Had a wonderful dinner over HungryBear. Visiting Lausanne is always nice to find places where you get beyond the traditional menu. And you are served exactly with that at HungryBear: a varied but yet compact menu, with great choices not only in terms of the food combinations but the fresh ingredients. The team in the kitchen obviously does a great job. Owners were in the restaurant when I had dinner and truly amazing to see the passion. Andreea took great care of us and you could see that the place is not just another restaurant you will find around, but a place where amazing food meets amazing and passionate owners and stuff. Myself had a beef tartare and tasted two amazing desert, the panna cotta and the banana, Greek yogurt and pear. My friends had the Seafood Calamaratta, a pave de salmon and a salmon tartare. The fact that we were all quiet during dinner was all about tasting something that I would call "one of a kind". Understood they also serve brunch so am actually looking forward to see if I actually can find a spot this coming weekend. Here are couple of pictures of our food & deserts. A must go restaurant in Lausanne, and for sure I will come back. By the way, the owners also have the nearby coffee shop, SleepyBear! The best specialty coffee location in Lausanne. And now, for me, the best restaurant I found in Lausanne which delivers the perfect mixture of food, atmosphere and value. :)

👍 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 😌
