    The “moules” are all dirty. The restaurant has many waiters for the 7 tables with people, so they are not stressed. The fish and vegetables not fresh at all. Pizza so hard that my father can not slice it. And fondue is fron supermarket? It came in three minutes and it tastes like veeery artificial.

    It’s not gourmet for sure, but it’s outdoors, efficient, and offers a varied menu at a decent price point. Certainly more appealing than what else is immediately available in the area.

    Authentic Swiss food serving in this place. They offer wonderful Swiss special food. The preparation also nice and clean. Spacious restaurant with some delightful deco. Brightly lid restaurant. Beautiful view too. Facing Lake Geneva and very central. Within walking distance there are many other shops to explore. The owner very kind and helpful too. It’s a nice place for all ages. Highly recommended to have meals in this restaurant. Will surely recommend others to eat here.

    On the main lake front road, handy for everywhere, views over to marina, catches sun outside until 7/8, nice feel, it’s a great place to hang and also good people watching place. Understated but don’t be fooled, the food is great and really nice people who work there. I went 2 nights in a row. Going home tomorrow or I d go back! Try the Swiss red wine. V moreish.

    They served us when the kitchen was about to close, which is really appreciated. Even so, they prepared us a delicious salad and a vitel toné that were delicious. Recomendable place, and a very nice waitress.

    What can I say? It is nice to have a warm place to eat when the weather is poor but… the food in kinda underwhelming. Not bad per se but you could find better elsewhere

    It was fine a restaurant in tge middle of downtown. The wait staff were bilingual Frnch and English, polite and friendly. Local eat here. No complaints but not memorable. Because of the friendly staff I made my star from 3 to 4.

    We came in a group on Sunday 10 Sept for dinner. Soup was tepid temperature. Nevermind that. We were served beef steak on a hot stone. Beef was chewy! Even tho I tried doing it rare, medium rare, medium and well-done. The selection of beef was just not suitable. Also, nevermind that. And then my friend was served chicken thigh, looked good on the outside, but raw pink on the inside. Shocking!!! Location is great and that's about it.

    They tricked us into asking for the fondue. They had the options into taking the fondue with ham and eggs and withou. As a person who wants to be satisfied after eating, I asked for the one with ham and eggs. In the end of story, they served us the fondue without the ham and eggs and didn't even warned they was without it

  • 3/5 I am a p. 8 months ago on Google
    Food was 3.5 stars. Fish n chips - fish was good. Chips weren’t serve hot. Risotto was too salty. Inside the restaurant pretty old. Service was great though. Overall 4 stars because of good service.

    Hard to get a chèvre chair salad wrong! But alas they did. Bagged lettuce that was off. American style toast with cheese on top. Always suss when a dressings when asked for on the side comes out pink!!! Good location though and pleasant staff.

    Very well situated, next to the subway stop and to the lake but thats the only good thing about it. 1- The staff is deaf and rude, you need to tell them what you want 5 times and they still dont get it. Not to talk about the awful waiting time, 15 minutes to seat when it was empty and another 50 just for the food. 2- Food quality is awful, 2/3 pizzas were burnt and had hair on it. Not good. 3- The prices are awfully expensive, never again my son almost tripped over and died

    Casual dining great for just drinks but I had the most amazing simple lunch of "moules and frites"! So good I came back two days in a row. First day I had the mussles in a curry sauce, second day a classic white wine garlic French style sauce. Both equally delicious!

    Pizza was really oily and burned and the stuffing was cheapest quality. I've eat better frozen pizza (and 5x cheaper...). There were problems to pay with Visa card, waiter had a hard time operating the card machine. Scenery was nice but it's really noisy and restless place to eat.

    Yummy eats and friendly staff and takes Apple Pay/Visa. Right off the Ouchy train station in Lausanne.

    The food was delicious but the service was terrible. I would go back just because the food would make it worth the wait.

    Good food and not that expensive compared to other restaurants around the area. Interior is like brought you to Italy. Pretty nice. Limited servers so expect divided attention for service.

  • 4/5 Steve G. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely food and good atmosphere. Really nice place to sit outside with a coffee or a beer and admire the views of the lake and mountains. We will be back 😁

    Nice beers and nice salads. Good quality food. Staff is attentive.

    A Carbonara disappointment. First time I have tasted this kind of carbonara. The oil at the bottom is too much. My friend's pesto was so oily more than my carbonara. The Waiter is a bit grumpy. Maybe because it is nearly closing time and tiredness got on him. I will not be there again. Sorry.

    We stopped in for lunch before taking the ferry to Evian. We were seated immediately and the waitress helped us read the menu and she was fluent in multiple languages. We picked some local fish, pasta and pizza along with a recommended local wine. The food had great portions and was very, very good!! The location is also right by the tram stop and across the street from the ferry, so it is an excellent location! We would definitely come again!

👍 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 😌
