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.

We had our first authentic fondue here and it was very delicious and memorable. Luckily we were…read morewith two locals who schooled us in all things fondue.

They bring the cheese out and a grill were the cheese is warmed. The cheese comes with potatoes, bread, pickles and pearl onions. It is a pretty big portion. I loved it except how long it takes to melt in between servings. I started off with a Pinot noir, but then our waiter recommended a white wine, Chasselas, that paired well with the raclette. Our waiter, Alex, was amazing. He anticipated our needs and was very friendly.

Our waitress was playful and helpful, she spoke English and seemed to be a seasoned professional. Lovely vibe. The wine was delicious, a Swiss white. I will post a photo. I recommend this spot highly.

Atmosphere 5/5: Try to come eat during Summer time and reserve your table in advance because they're booked every night when the weather is good. Eat a dinner right in front of the Leman Lake and the Alps? Priceless to be honest specially when the food is good. Food 5/5: I had the Filets de Perche the first time and the Filets de Boeuf the second time. Both are excellent and were nicely presented. Taste was excellent and everything was fresh. Service 3/5: Service fell short a little bit specially for a restaurant of that standing. You will see a lot of apprentice doing internships here and they might not speak French nor English. So be aware that you might have some difficulty of communication but beside that, everything was excellent. A easy 4+ out of 5 for this restaurant.

The interesting thing that I've never experienced before is that your order is split into half portions. After you finish your first serving they bring you the exact same plate. I'm not sure what to think of this... I mean the 1st serving seemed like enough for most of the table, my friend who go a huge lamb shank declined his second offering, I don't know who can eat all that!! But besides that, I felt accomplished eating my first plate, a second serving of the exact same thing made me feel like the second helping was more of a task than enjoyment lol. Fortunately, i decided to swap my snapper for my friend's veal. I favored the snapper over the veal, ir was light and fresh. I would recommend making sure you have worked up a good appetite if you decide to visit here. Also it gets so loud in there we found ourselves yelling for conversation. Be sure to warm your vocal pipes too!
