    I guess we don’t really know how to appreciate cheese fondue? It really has a very strong cheese and alcohol taste. However we had the other fried Brie and bacon recommended by the waiter. It was good.

    The mushroom fondue was nice but not outstanding... we tried the dish of the day too which they recommended, they got us wrong order though we asked for " well done" many times they got us medium , we had to wait...and it was ok after all and also 3 different waiters were there and none asked us if we need anything or if everything was ok... in general it was ok

    I was told this is the best fondue place in town and it did not disappoint by one bit. Set in a very traditional space, you're guaranteed good food and a very friendly service.

    We saw the menu and chose fondue where the price on the menu was written as 27. When the bill came because we were two people the price was double which is not easily understood from the menu nor from the waiter's explanation. In no restaurant is the price of the person listed, but the price of the portion. In a plate with a variety of meats for 4 people, the total price is always indicated, not the price per person. It is food to share. Similarly, the salad you share is not listed per person. Make it clearer or explain it properly mentioning the final price as well in order to avoid any kind of confusion especially with no-french speaking people. Too expensive for what they offer. I wouldn’t recommend it.

    Straight up great!! We went there without reservation on Sunday and we got lucky as they filled up very fast. Amazing staff ! Carlos is well seasoned waiter that knows what he is doing..very funny , extremely professional and entertaining even though you can tell lads were exhausted after the weekend. We had truffle fondue and beer.. ..and it was DELICIOUS!! Then armagnac was beautiful ...After dinner staff gave us comp shot and Landi, barman, was a brilliant host chatting in multiple languages. He has artifacts from all countries...it was awesome. I cannot praise this establishment enough mostly because staff but food delicious and very decent portions for a reasonable price. It is NOT TO BE MISSED WHILE IN LAUSANNE!

    In our recent visit to Lausanne, my friends and I had a disappointing experience with this restaurant. We arrived there at 13:00 and it took 20 minutes for our orders to be taken. After almost one hour (at 14:15) and while we were still waiting for our drinks, we were informed that the kitchen closes at 14:00 and we can only have Fondue which I didn’t like and didn’t order in the first place. So, we decided to leave and find another place. Surprisingly there were people who arrived there after us, ordered and received the same dish as I ordered earlier! I understand that mistake happens, but the way they handled the situation was not professional. The waiter initially told us they are out of fish (the dish of the day) and when I wanted to order something else, he changed his narrative to the kitchen closes at 14:00. It seems they are busy and may forget about your order. So, if you are going to visit this place make sure that your order is well received.

    What’s not to like overviewing the magnificent cathédrale de Lausanne while eating some delicious 🧀. In my opinion, one of the best 🫕 moitié moitié in Lausanne and fantastic staff, big up to Carlos!

    Excellent place and with a good quality/price ratio! The fondue is so big that it can be barely finished by the double of people it has been ordered for. The waiters didn't talk english, only one of them did. Average price is 25/30 chf per person, so not super expensive

  • 2/5 Saji 7 months ago on Google
    To be honest was not that bad! But we paid around 35 CHF for dishes that it'd expected to be 15 - 20! Why did I pay 2 star total? - Waiters cannot talk English - There isn't any menu in English - Couldn't find any drinks in the menu

    Decent selection of fondue in this Lausanne restaurant near the cathedral. Differente fondues like moitié moitié, tomato and truffles are recommended. Servie personel was nice and the food came fast. Selection of wine is also good.

  • 5/5 Thiago Q. 8 months ago on Google
    We were looking for a traditional fondue and found this place with an amazing service and very very good fondue - the best - we have in our holidays in Switzerland. Simple and great, nice tables outside for drinks before dinner. They prepared half portion for the kids and it was very nice from them. Landi, has shown the best hospitality in town - thank you!

  • 4/5 Noe M. 8 months ago on Google
    Great selection of fondue in this Lausanne restaurant. Good location next to thé cathédrale. We had a fondue moitié moitié and a tomato fondue. However, the waiter was a bit rude. But I will come back if I’m in Lausanne because I’m never disappointed with the food despite the service.

  • 3/5 Pilar Aramayo P. 6 months ago on Google
    Nice traditional place near the cathedral. Decent fondue, but not special. Rather pricey considering the quality of food and service. Waiter could not answer basic questions about the menu and rushed us to choose the most popular option.

  • 5/5 Judi D. 7 months ago on Google
    Very popular place to have fondue. It was really tasty and filling. Place has a good atmosphere and people sitting outside to eat as well as inside. We had the four cheese fondue for 3 people, plus mini gherkins and little white onions, plus a bowl of new potatoes, which we also dipped in the fondue. Didn't need a sweet.

  • 5/5 Damien G. 1 year ago on Google
    The most renowned swiss cheese fondue restaurants in lausanne very old near the cathedral to have a garden and a Terrace. Very Good fondue with different styles. They even have one served in the bread that's definitly something to try if you're visiting here

    We managed to get a seat at this busy restaurant. Had fondue with bread, potatoes and pickles. Also tried the horse meat. Everything was good.

  • 1/5 Rawan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Unfortunately we got ripped off with the price! The menu had 27CHF for cheese fondue for 2 persons and we paid 82CHF and we were 3 persons! The fondue was basic! Does this mean per pot its 27CHF or per person? I dont recommend this place specially as a tourist! Such a bad experience!

  • 5/5 L S. 4 years ago on Google
    Had a lovely lunch on the patio with a view of the cathedral. Tried the traditional fondue fresh bread and pickles/onions. So yummy! Great location. Friendly service and tasty local wine!

  • 5/5 Daniel C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great classic Swiss restaurant, with amazing staff and even better fondue! Highly recommend if you're visiting the cathedral as it is right next door

  • 5/5 Kendra L. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is very busy and for good reason. We had the moitié moitié fondue we added potatoes and pickles plate. So good!! I highly recommend this place but do not be in a hurry they are extremely busy but the staff is excellent very friendly and made sure we were enjoying our dinner. This will be a place we return to!!!

    Great food. Next door to the Cathedral. Staff was very helpful, he helped translating a Menun only in French to us in English.

  • 3/5 M G. 6 years ago on Google
    The food was good, and the service was great. There is nice outdoor seating. We had the fondue with tomato and potato, and it was good. The duck breast risotto was good, but the duck wasn't very tender.

  • 5/5 Andrea P. 4 years ago on Google
    I was aiming for a good place to eat a typical fondue and this place left me fully satisfied. As soon as you enter you can understand that you are in the right place from the great smell that fills the restaurant.

  • 5/5 Sam L. 6 years ago on Google
    Really excellent and delicious food. I was travelling alone and stopped in here for dinner. I wanted something tradition and tried their Fondue moitie moitie and it was excellent. My outstanding waitress, Sophie, explained everythi g and paired the meal with a lovely Nero D'Avolo. She also scrapped off the cheese crust from the fondue and did a great job. The atmosphere was cosy and the food was tasty and good value. Would recommend.

  • 5/5 王俊翔 6 years ago on Google
    Their food and wine are awesome. Lovely garden, great atmosphere, highly professional staff, and the most important, delicious but fair price cuisine!

  • 4/5 Evelyn C. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic location looking toward Lausanne Cathedral. Fondue was nice with both bread and potato and of several flavors (tomato, beer, classic, etc.) which were all good.

  • 5/5 Silvia M. 5 years ago on Google
    Absolutely loved this place. We had fondue, which is the house specialty, and it was excellent. I wenr for the classic version, but they offer several variations - which I'd be curious to try next time. I recommend getting potatoes (on top of bread) for the fondue.

  • 5/5 Christian C. 4 years ago on Google
    I'm not too fond of the fondue (no pun intended) but this one was really good. We accompanied it with a glass of white wine, a Chardonne recommended by the staff. The service was also good and quick. Price-wise, it's the standard for this type of dish in Switzerland 🇨🇭.

👍 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 😌
