    Love it ! I often go there on the weekends. They have salty or sweet pancakes. All are incredible. I particularly love the banana spéculos chantilly and chocolate/caramel pancake. Royal Pancake is also very good (with salmon). The owner is very very friendly. It’s always a pleasure to go there, and it’s on the todo list of all my friends ho come to visit lausanne

    They are known for their pancakes, which were pretty good. I’d give them a 4/5. They were pre-made when we arrived at the restaurant, so they just had to “dress them up” with whatever we ordered. The staff were friendly and could make anything that you wanted. Just keep in mind that most changes or requests that aren’t typical menu items will cost you extra. For example, one of our party was vegetarian and asked for the ham in the pancakes Benedict to be changed out for something like another egg or another pancake. She got an extra egg but it was added to the regular price of the pancakes Benedict. So she paid for the ham and the extra egg. It just wasn’t clearly explained so it was an unpleasant surprise. I deducted one star because of the maple syrup. You get a tiny little pot of maple syrup with your order and it’s not enough for all the pancakes. If you ask for more, you have to pay for it. In a pancake restaurant that serves pancakes exclusively, you’d think they would give you maple syrup when you need it. Or then just keep a little dispenser on each table like actual American restaurants do.

    The pancakes are delicious but lord the price for 1 pancake with some weep cream, fruits and maple syrup for 10 chf. I would understand if they give 2 or 3 pancakes but only 1 that's a bit of joke for the price...

    Very nice and cozy crêperie and pancake place! They have a large variety of both of them and all the one we ordered were generous and delicious 😋 Things for improvement: - if eating inside (not take away) putting the crêpes on a plate and not as a wrap. Goal: reducing waste. - making the choice of vegetarian dishes larger. I would have loved to have the Benedict dish with some tofu, cheese or some meat replacement instead of the ham!

    Fantastic selection of crepes and pancakes here. We had a savoury crepe and a sweet pancake stack and loved everything. The portions of the pancakes are huge so come with an empty stomach!

    I ordered the pancakes all american & the miniature pancakes, and It was so delicious that not a crumb was left on my plate. The service was fast ,& friendly service. I will definitely be returning.

    Nice a place to have a quick breakfast or lunch. We were a bit disappointed by the plastic cups and the carton plate. It is more a snack to go rather than a full table service. The pancakes are not made to order but are already made and neaten up

    I liked the pancakes banana spéculoos very much and I loved that they have some board games to play with. I will totally come back.

    I'm going to be honest, I might give this three stars if I didn't really like the name! The Dijon mustard in the raclette crepe was way too sour? It really deterred from the excellent potatoes and cheese inside. 😖 The cute paper sleeves they serve the crepes in did not work for the caramel crepe lol! Otherwise, it was a really cool way to serve the crepes. The crepe batter/flavor itself is really good. Really nice staff too! Out of all the ones we tried, lemon was the best, btw!

    Premade pancakes served nearly cold. Everything else is ok. Prices aren't too bad even from a non-Swiss perspective.

    Service is fine, but pancake is premade and decorated on the order - served lukewarm. Disappointing We also ordered a hot chocolate, which is a sachet of chocolate powder with hot milk from machine

  • 3/5 Zolboo N. 2 years ago on Google
    Usual pancakes with good topping options. The portions were way too small even for a breakfast😅 The personal couldn't speak English a bit.

    The staff was friendly, my pancake was good compared with those I have eaten in other countries. The price was reasonable

  • 5/5 Nathalie L. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Ritesh S. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious crepe wraps, both sweet and salty, walking distance from St. Francois. Take the menu so that you can enjoy different flavours.

    When looking at the picture on the website we do expect a slightly different service style of service. However, The crêpes & pancakes were actually Nice 😀.

    A decent place with good food and affordable price tag compared to the other places around. Would definitely recommend 👍🏼

    Savery crepes were pretty good but the sweet ones didn't seem to mixed too well. Still fairly good. A tad pricey for a crepe but overall not too bad if you're going here for lunch or dinner.

    I usually really like this place for the convenience. However today went in for a late snack since I wasn’t hungry enough for dinner. Asked for a sweet dessert crepe but when I got home I saw they gave me a salmon crepe (even though no one else was waiting?). Everything around me was closed when I got home. Called back and they only proposed a refund even though they do deliveries through an online service. Really a very irritating situation, especially after a long day where I was looking forward to a small little thing, and I think they could have had the courtesy to offer delivering one.

    It was very good! Extremely sweet and great portion. The shop is small and cozy, the waiters were very nice.

👍 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 😌
