We split the deer carpaccio as a starter, which was wonderful - tender thin slices of meat with arugula, walnuts, and walnut oil. Two of us had the rib steak, which was a thin boneless ribeye and cooked to order, medium rare in my case. Served with three sauces: black olive, basil, and spicy red pepper. Tender and flavorful. Lovely bottle of local red wine, lighter in color but full flavored. Excellent service, highly recommended!

Full bar, lots of beer and espresso for after. They have live music sometimes, but right now Johnny Winter's "Stone Cold Boogie" is playing on the sound system. I am from Austin Texas and this bar could be located on South Congress....except folks speak French.

The single waiter, Ayman, gave us the menu and recited the appropriate options for all levels of "hungry." We ordered Fatoosh, falafel, kebbe, hummus and grilled halloumi for appetizers and mixed grill (kafka, tawouq and shawarma) for main dish (to share). I think it was called "the trio." Fatoush's was ok. Nothing out of the ordinary. So was the hummus. The falafel and kebbe were better; both are strong on taste. Lastly, the grilled halloumi was excellent. All portions were a bit small though. Good thing we weren't too hungry. As for our main dish, it also came with (yummy) garlic-lemon potatoes, muhammara (nut-paprika) and three sauces. The meats were a little over cooked but very good overall, especially the shawarma which was perhaps the best thing in the restaurant. We were both very satisfied and might come back tomorrow night to try something else!

After seeing glowing reviews on numerous sites, I decided to stop by to try some fondue while I was…read morein town. Although the service was fine, the dining experience turned out to be all around pretty lackluster. The restaurant is on the smaller side and felt a bit claustrophobic with the low-rounded ceiling and few windows. The lighting was also really bright, in contrast to other restaurants which use dim/warm lighting for dinner service. I was seated at the corner of a long table and felt a bit pressed against the wall, as the bench on which I sat was fairly thin and there was only about a foot of space between the table and the wall (to my back). I don't know about the other menu items, but the price point was a bit high for fondue. Standard fondue is 24 CHF and fondue with morel mushrooms (morrilles) is a few CHF more. Curious, I decided to try the fondue with morels and paired it with a glass of white wine. The wine was good and the fondue tasted fine, but turns out there were barely any discernible morel crumbs in the fondue, far from being worth the upcharge. On top of that, the portion was very small and the bread was not fresh. I felt like I was caught in a tourist trap. I've dined at some other places in Lausanne that felt more comfortable and had better fondue. I'd probably stick with those next time I'm in town.

Great ambiance. Menu limited. We didn't try the fondue because you had to order it for two people, it looked like a lot of cheese and smelled really strong and was expensive (50 bucks for a pot of cheese and some bread), but I guess that is just Switzerland in general, expensive. Service was pretty good, waitress spoke no English. Salad was decent and the cabbage that came with the very chewy meat was good. The meat itself, well, it wasn't so great. Bad cut I'm guessing, I mean the flavor was good but it was so chewy I wound up spitting most of it out. And I really chewed a long time! Glad I went to at least get the experience of old school Switzerland, but would not go back. Ok maybe for a beer and a side of the cabbage! Beer was good!
