😐 The location is excellent, the view is one of the best in Lausanne. The terrace is a great place for a coffee on a sunny day or an evening drink on a summer night. The food though, not so much. I've had brunch and lunch in the past, none of the two met my expectations: - the salmon tartar was simply... People often mention good, great, Lausanne, nice, terrace,

    Good food! Tastiest Fondue! Awesome decoration! Overall, a good combination of Swiss Culture with modern world. They also have some great dance floor. The dJ can perform a bit better I guess. But overall it's a good place to party and enjoy food! And they also have some nice collection of drinks!

    Nice ambient with lake views and good food. We had thanks giving dinner there, pumpkin soup with chestnuts was delicious. turkey was tasty and the side was really well elaborated. Pumpkin cake a bit on the average. The have a large wine selection and the service is reasonably fast. Nice place for lunch and dinner

    The location is excellent, the view is one of the best in Lausanne. The terrace is a great place for a coffee on a sunny day or an evening drink on a summer night. The food though, not so much. I've had brunch and lunch in the past, none of the two met my expectations: - the salmon tartar was simply not good -for the brunch they only brought 1 slice of bread per guest initially, which is not enough to try the jam and all the food, because as they said 'they want to minimize food waste'. They can bring you more if you ask them, but they should have told us from the beginning. Also this constant looking for the waiter to get one extra slice was very frustrating. Not a good practice. Kudos to the friendly stuff, very polite and patient :)

    Well priced for great food and local wines. The Chicken Cordon Bleu is the best in Lausanne and pretty good more broadly. Casual dining with amazing lake/mountain views and terrace. Can usually walk in but best to book. Highly recommended. Short walk to Lausanne Palace Hotel and easy to get to the Metro and into Flon.

    Nice menu with a variety of local dishes. Good quality of food. Would specially recommend if the weather is nice to enjoy the terrace and the view over the lake and mountains.

    Wonderful summer evening on the terrace. Lots of people, so it was good to book in advance. The cocktails and starters were delicious, and so were the main dishes. The staff were attentive and prompt, yet not intrusive. A wonderful way to spend time with friends and family!

    The Casino in Lausanne is a beautiful old building. The restaurant is accessible for disabled. The personnel was welcoming and friendly and showed us to our table. The food is really top class, you will not get much better in Lausanne. Tasty, fresh and nicely plated. I can much recommend the Casino for a long eating event. You won't regret that.

    Went there to see Imelda Gabs' release album. There was a bit of echo in the piece, but it was quite a big room. Seats were a bit unconfortable

    Excellent foot and atmosphere.

    On a clear day the views are spectacular. The brasserie is a touch expensive with average service.

    The events presented are really below aveage in therms of quality but the do have some good points and if you talk to the people, they're over all great

  • 4/5 Tony S. 4 years ago on Google
    Glorious building offering a range of facilities for conferences, concerts, live events and dining located a few minutes walk from Lausanne main railway station. Wonderful views of the city and Lac Leman from the terrace. A venue well worth visiting!

    10/10 Cinemteque suisse is simply amazing!

    Love this place. The food is good, the cocktails are great and the view is outstanding. It can be a bit too noisy inside but the place is still worth going!

  • 5/5 Leonard L. 2 years ago on Google
    Beer and drinks are good but prices are Zurich upper half level.

  • 1/5 Sean D. 3 years ago on Google
    Extremely disappointing. The food came suspiciously fast and it was as I feared. The cordon bleu was overfried as to be unchewable and lost all its juices somewhere - dry as the Sahara :( The risotto didn't come out better, a congealed mess. The seasoning was totally off, we had too add much more pepper to try and salvage anything but it didn't work. The place has a nice interior but in the end we left the food untouched and went to the vastly superior casino de Morges which is at the same price point but has edible food. If you want a nice view and passable food you are better off going to the canteen at unil or epfl, forget about this place unless you just want an aperol spritz. If you decide to eat here poor you. Broaden your culinary horizons, Lausanne and surroundings have a lot better to offer.
