This restaurant seems to be very popular with locals as when we were there it was packed. The food is tip-top although a bit pricy (but worth its price!). Will most definitely go again if in Lausanne. Book as on a Sunday night it was sold out.

We went for lunch on a Sunday to celebrate my husband's birthday. I had reserved a table for three and was very happy to see that they reserved a booth next to the window. When you see the photo on internet, the place looks pretty big but when you arrive it's much smaller - and very cozy with it's wooden... More

The food is OK with nothing outstanding. The service is poor and slow. The other day we had lunch there and the potatoes arrived well before the burger. Consequently, the potatoes were cold when we started eating. We pointed this out and the potatoes were taken away. Once we had finished eating the burger, the warm potatoes arrived again...Too late!... More

Excellent decoration and very attentive waiters. It's very pleasant to go eat there. We had the codfish with green curry sauce. The fish was delicious, a bit spicier than what I like but not unpleasant. The food is very good but a little bit expensive, not for the quality though but for the quantity.

We had a corner table, which are the cosiest! The food was outstanding and the wine list exquisite. The service was flawless. The crowd was somewhat young and gorgeous. A not missed in Lausanne!!!

Great food, nice atmosphere. Had lunch and dinner same day, perfect oysters and entrecote! Exceptionally nice service on 2nd floor this Wednesday night. The two waiters, one guy in his 40s and a younger woman in her late 20s gave us all their attention, direct advice and great service. We'll return!

Not very interesting food but a great "brasserie" atmosphere. Went back just to sit at the bar and drink a glass of wine with one of their little snacks, that was more worth the price than the full meal I had.

This brasserie has a nice menu with a modest selection of dishes. Waiter service is very good and the look and feel of the place a lot classier than some of the clientele! It's fairly pricey compared with say, London, but not out of kilter with Lausanne generally.
