And they had gluten free bread, which was a surprise! I had said I was gluten free and dairy free and they were great! I also had some of the pork rillette, excellent. And the chicken dish, which I normally never get chicken, was fantastic. Juciest I've ever had. Excellent salmon tartare. And the side of potatoes could have fed a whole table full of people, and that just came with our meal! The restaurant was recommended by our hotel, and they were dead-on. Just great. Make reservations!

It's a rarity that restaurant sitting on a picturesque hill with unobstructed views would also be perfectly on-point concerning their cuisine.

This is my favorite restaurant in Lausanne! Anytime anyone asks me where to eat in Lausanne, and if…read morethey eat meat, that's the number one place I recommend! Outstanding meat! Great other Swiss food items such as Röstis, saucisson or fondue vigneronne (red wine based broth in which you dip your meat slices, comes with fries and a variety of sauces). My favorite dish is the Parisienne de Boeuf 250g, it costs CHF 30.- with salad/veggies and home made fries!)

In a town with plenty of Italians this place stands out, not only because it offers non Neapolitan…read morepizza, but also because they make their own beer. and they are quite good at both of these jobs. The pizza is unique, unfortunately I dont know enough to say which style of pizza it is closest to, but it is certainly lacks the characteristics of the Neapolitan style. The pizza is basically what Americans call "thin crust", but the dough is somewhere between "New York" style and Neapolitan. The quality and selection of toppings are very high. And given the nature of the cost of food in this town, this place is really quite reasonably priced. The beer was also very good. I had a "Belgian style" white, and they also had an excellent IPA. The food came out quickly and the staff were pleasant to interact with. I think that if I lived in Lausanne, I would return often. Im glad I tried this place out. FYI: There are two floors. The upstairs was closed when we came in at 3pm in the afternoon.

Great Pizza and Brewery located in the heart of Lausanne, minutes away from the Cathedral of…read moreLausanne. This place is mainly a student hang out but the beers are the best. Pizzas are also unique and might be a little bit greasy, but they taste good! Atmosphere 5/5: Nothing to say about the atmosphere. You're in Brewery restaurant so the place is casual and friendly. Usually busy during the evenings on the 2nd floor on Fridays and Saturdays. Food 4/5: Food is good. Yes the Pizzas are a little bit greasy but they surely taste good! Definitely a good place to try a Beer and a Pizza with friends. Price are between 10 CHF to 20 CHF for a Pizza. I had a 4 Cheese Pizza. Service 3/5: Service might be a little bit slow but I usually take my pizza to go as well. Just call 15-20 minutes before and you can go pick it up. Parking might be a little bit hard to find as well despite the number of street parking. Overall, I would say it's a good place to chill with friends on a Friday evening.

We arrived at Lausanne two days ago. This is the last stop of our Christmas Markets trip. First we…read morevisited Basel, second to Bern then here in Lausanne. I waited until arriving here to have French cuisine. I knew I could find better French food here because it is closer to France and I was right. I found this restaurant among all the French restaurants in town, I liked their menu and their reviews. We liked it so much that we went there twice and we only stayed in Lausanne for two nights. First night we have onion soup, escargot, beef tartare, green salad, dessert - crème brûlée and ice cream. Second night we have the Seafood tower and salad. Food: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Ambience: 5 starts I love their menu because they serve more traditional French cuisine instead of those nouveau cuisine (like eating foam)-. I want to mention the maître d' named Adrien. I just mentioned to him at the first night that we maybe come back the next day so he sent me an invite to remind me so we did. I would call that's service and thank you for doing that.

I've been here a couple times now, and I'm ambivalent-to-negative on this place. The food is ok,…read morenot great. I had an artichoke salad that was awful -- could barely chew most of it. The Entrecôte "Café de Paris" was a very poor quality piece of steak, with fat and tendons galore. The EB Burger (with a piece of foie gras on top of a patty) is different and delicious -- although the potato wedges that come with it are dry and should be substituted for regular fries. This place is pricey, and there other options that are better values (even in Lausanne, where prices are high in general) Service at the restaurant is hit or miss. For the most part it's professional, but there are definitely some wait staff who give the vibe of being arrogant. Given all that, the only reason this restaurant gets a second star is the ambiance is nice. It's somewhat of an awkward multi-level layout, but it has a charm to it. Classy and elegant. If only the food and service would match the surroundings, I'd be happy to go back.

Friday nights: I've come here quite often with friends and a group of children and they have always been very accommodating and welcoming. There's a seating area with couches and coffee tables for the children to relax in after the dinner is over and while the adults linger over their wine... Not too long ago, there was a football table for kids and adults alike but some bad mannered children killed the fun for all when they tried to score extra balls by stuffing the exit hole with paper. It was a sad night indeed because it seems that the cafe owners have decided not to repair the table. Weekend brunch: Be sure to call in advance to reserve a table for sat or sun brunch because Cafe des Avenues buzzes with activity during the weekends. THe brunches are popular for families. Serving american pancakes, crepes, eggs, bacon, omelets....this place is as close to home (gastronomically speaking) as I'm gonna get. Weekday: With the exception of lunchtime, the cafe is quiet and the perfect place to get some work done. During the week, you will find the cafe scattered with people working on their laptops, sipping their cafe or tea and nibbling on a croissant or one of their excellent goufres.

I had the tartare de boeuf avec crostinis. I had the beef a bit spicy, which is exactly how I wanted it, not overpowered with spice, but just enough heat to feel each bite. both of us were happy with our choices, and hope to come back soon. I will add that the kitchen will not open up until 6:30, as with most cafe's and restaurants here in Lausanne , but you can have a few drinks and talk while you wait.
