My daughter and I wanted to try fondue in Switzerland so she found this restaurant on trip advisor. I also checked out reviews on Yelp. The restaurant is by the wharf with gorgeous views of the mountains. No one was dining inside but it was so windy outside several times that glasses blew off tables and shattered. Kind of scary. There were a few language problems with our server Pablo, but he did a good job. We ordered green and mixed salads for appetizers. They were great. Then we ordered cheese fondue with bread and potatoes. I liked the potatoes much better. It was getting cool after dark so we didn't stay for dessert. They had pie and ice cream on the menu. I didn't see chocolate. Oh, well. read more

We were so hopeful about this restaurant because of all the great reviews. We had the house cordon Bleu and it was pretty bland. Also had one of roastis that was just mediocre as well. Not accommodating manager as we asked for a better table that we're readily available. Hope your experience is better than ours. I will post pics. read more

Tourists coming through. I decided to take my mom and aunt here due to the proximity to our hotel and rainy evening. We did not have rsvp and the restaurant was packed. They were able to accommodate us. My aunt has a little difficulty walking but able to go up their tiny stairs to second floor. One of the waiters speaks English fairly well. There's an English language menu available. Food were all delicious. They were busy so we waited a bit for our check after we were done with our meal. Overall we were all happy with dinner. I think this is a thing as we waited at other restaurants in Lausanne as well. Must try if you're by the water in ouchy! read more

Get there before sunset and claim outdoor seating. The beef tar tar is amazing and of course any fondue. I'd you are wondering if the quinoa salad is good- it's phenomenal read more

Aloha, we went here on our recent Paris / Switzerland trip. It's a very unique dinning experience! Food was very good and it's in a 500+ old building. We plan to visit again on our next trip!!! read more

Lovely evening in Lausanne. Inside is quite lovely although the weather was beautiful outside too. Food was wonderful and the service excellent ! read more

Café du Vieil Ouchy was our little introduction to Swiss dining near Lac Léman. I didn't plan on leaving Switzerland without experiencing fondue. What better way to do this than in a café across from the reflection of the Alps on beautiful Lake Geneva? (My review comes a year late. I didn't realize this had been sitting in my drafts for a while. But, here I am, finally completing it.) We started with a planchette valaisanne and some local wine. Then, we shared a fondue moitié-moitié that was divine. We spent hours enjoying our food and our conversation, nothing like we've ever done living back in the US. I'm so happy I got to experience this in Lausanne. Thank you for this, Le Vieil Ouchy! read more

If you're a tourist and do not speak French, I would NOT recommend this place. The food itself was mediocre (smoked salmon was fine, steak was horrible) but what really made this an overall terrible experience was our extremely rude waiter. Although he spoke English, at no point did he make us feel welcome and was clearly saying something negative about us to the locals sitting adjacent to our table. He was very unprofessional and the overall experience was generally sketchy and made my parents and I feel uneasy. For example, although he said all the right words when serving us, his demeanor was completely different with the other two tables he served; something I noticed several times throughout the dinner despite not understanding French. That being said, I'd imagine this overall type of negative experience is not uncommon and doesn't typically prompt me to write a review. However, the beef served to my father gave him food poisoning and to me, that's crossing the line. read more

Great food & service. The waiter explained clearly the menu (already with a smile on his face); even the manager came to us.

This was a gem. First the service was incredible. We wanted aSwiss food experience so we took all the suggestions from our server and Wow, delicious. We had the original cheese fondue and hand made cordon blue!!!a bonus was how incredible this building was , 400 years old and they kept it perfectly. read more

We are staying at Chateau de Ouchy and this restaurant is right across the street. We showed up around 7:45pm without reservations and waited only 15 min for a table. The service was prompt and very friendly. We ordered the cheese fondue (moitié moitié) and it was really delicious. You can also order wine by the glass for reasonable prices. This place is worth a visit for sure! read more
