    Quite enjoyable for a night with friends. Lively vibe. A place liked by both tourists and locals. Good food, good wine. Besides the regular menu, the chef is preparing some daily specials. Average prices. Indoor and outdoor sitting. The terrace has a great view over the lake. Make sure you book a table in advance. Ok service.

    Brasserie Montbenon, whether you live in Lausanne or you're just visiting, Montbenon is a must visit. The food is great, the service is smooth and welcoming and you'll get a very nice view on top of all that. Just make sure to book a table because I'm not the only one who likes this place 😀

    Disrespectful staff. Lack of professionalism. We ended up being rushed from the standard table to the corner to high chairs (with a toddler) only because we wanted dessert drinks and tapas at 11.20am on weekend while the staff ate lunch at the comfortable table. While we were eating many tables including the one we left were still empty. We stayed only because the child needed a meal.

    Came here for an aperitif at the end of the day to watch the sunset (very nice views from the terrace). Unfortunately we were ignored for at least 30 minutes, until we eventually found an empty seat outside. The waiting staff continued to walk past us for ages, and when we eventually ordered it took a long time to come. It wasn't overly busy when we arrived, so maybe they just don't like tourists visiting? The staff weren't the nicest either.

    Was in Lausanne for a meeting and promised the most beautiful terrace of the city. Was not disappointed - of course the weather also played it's part. The menu had a wide range of local wines wnd dishes, the food was excellent (ate too much, totally worth it). Staff was very nice and helpful, despite my terrible French.

    Trendy place with great classical food! Place is a bit too nosy but we were upstairs in a corner so we were not too bothered by it.

    Never ever go back again!!! Bad service and no transparency in table arrangement. I booked the table for 3 and asked for outside table. I received the confirmation and notification that it was crowded and it might be difficult to have a table outside, first come first served. I totally agreed. When we arrived, there are still table for 3 (with reserve), they still tried to put us inside with the extra table. 30mins after when we still tried to wait and asked for outside table, the group of 3 arrived, and just went directly to that three table, even without noticing at the front desk. Oh…they are friend of one of the waitress there. What is the hell is that? It was my partner birthday, we went with his mum who came along way from Austria. But it ended up really bad with no drinks, no foods, and the disappointment.

    Cocktails and food were excellent. If you can, get a table on the terrace when it’s warm.

  • 4/5 Paul M. 10 months ago on Google
    This is a wonderful space. I haven’t been here for food since before the pandemic as the noise would get unbearable from the interior acoustics, and I thought the food was not great for the asking price. We came for a dinner of 5 and i was very positively surprised. While I think the menu is too large - it makes a bad impression- the waitress gave us as a group very good recommendations, and the dishes were really great. I had the lake fish on the bed of risotto with asparagus. I appreciated that the butter was on the side as I’m lactose intolerant. I followed it with meringue with double cream, which was tasty enough. I’d like a larger variety of non alcoholic ‘homemade’ drinks, with some that are not all lemon based. The prices are not low here but compared to other places in Lausanne that have been recently going down in quality this is a safe choice.

    Great food, great service! This restaurant is not only suited for business lunches and dinners, but also for couples and groups of friends. They have an amazing terrace overlooking the lake. They are also gluten-free friendly! I look forward to returning!

    Food and drinks were awesome. Service a tad slow so be prepared to wait.

  • 5/5 Nicoletta D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great menu, high quality food, accommodating and efficient service in a very pleasant ambience. Certainly a must when in Lausanne.

  • 5/5 Marco 2 years ago on Google
    Best reastaurant in Lausanne so far! The food quality is really high and the prices are affordable, even though it's a bit more expensive than the usual, but all worth the quality. The terrace is really nice with the lake view! Even when it's raining the tables are properly covered. Will come back for sure!

  • 3/5 Enrico S. 1 year ago on Google
    Been there roughly 10 times. Not bad at all, particularly their famous "cordon bleu" and the view on lake and alps. Nevertheless I don't think they justify the excessive hype around this restaurant, leading to the almost-impossibility to find a place on Saturdays and holidays, and the well above average prices. Overall, it's okay. Service is fine, a bit too informal with customers, but polite. Will return here, partiularly to impress friends and colleagues with the beautiful view and location, with reasonably good food.

    Beautiful views of the lake and the garden. Good service despite being very busy. Fair prices given the quality. Recommended for business and family dinners alike but it is not a small/ intimate location for a romantic dinner

  • 5/5 Karen C. 1 year ago on Google
    The 5 star service and the fresh orange juice and rosé are very good. Food is also highly recommended. Stunning view is priceless. Must come again.❤️❤️❤️

    Absolutely delicious meal - went classic with roasted marrow and the cordon Bleu. Both executed very well. Staff was very friendly, and kind enough to switch to English for me.

👍 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 😌
