This was truffle season and Lorenzini's specials that day were all focused on this famous fungus. So I started off with their carpaccio with truffle - deliciously thin, melt-in-your-mouth marbled beef, drizzled with fragrant and earthy truffle oil and the coup de grace: fresh truffle shaved onto it table-side by the waiter (don't stop, don't hold back, keep on shaving that 'shroom till it's gone!). Of course, that wasn't enough, so I followed this with a veal escallope in a rich smooth truffled cream sauce, again laden with fresh shaved truffle table-side. The dish came with a side of a simple risotto - which was a great way to sop up all that heavenly sauce. Service was excellent, attentive and unobtrusive - and really just a fine place for a satisfying meal!

The waiter was very friendly and was good with the recommendations. The food we got were part of a special menu they had and was simply delicious. The prociutto was fresh but didn't come with any thing to accompany it. The highlight was the pumpkin risotto with mozzarella -- super flavorful and filling. And as for the tiramisu.... It was the best tiramisu I have had (I've been to Italy and there are variations in tiramisu but this one was simply well portioned with really fresh ingredients). Overall we enjoyed this place as the food was much better than other alternatives around the area. Took a star off because service took a longer time due to popularity and also because the appetizers were not memorable.

Almost every table was taken outdoors, but I managed to squeeze in. While there is indoor seating, its slightly dark and smelly inside (due to the cheese being cooked!), so do what the Europeans do and enjoy the outdoors! For food, I opted to try the Rosti florentine (rosti with spinach) and the small portion of the raclette. The raclette came out first and was so yummy. I mean, who doesn't like a plate of melted cheese with potatoes and pickles?! When a dish is mainly cheese, the quality of the cheese is paramount. I'm happy to report that the cheese Le Mazot uses is top-notch. Beware, even if you order the small portion of the raclette, it might as well be a meal within itself. Because by the time I got my rosti, I was stuffed! The rosti was pretty tasty and I was glad to have gotten it with spinach, as otherwise it's pretty dense with the shredded potatoes as a base. It was a nice dish to try, but if I only had to order one, I'd opt for the raclette. Service was good and the food was brought out at a nice pace. Le Mazot is a solid choice to get some Swiss staples without having to search too far.

RAT + BAD SERVICE - my first time leaving a comment because food was nothing special but the woman…read morewaiter had a really bad attitude. We came into the restaurant around 9 pm and we were asked to be seated in the very end corner. I asked if we can move to the middle section but she declined without giving a reason and instead gave us a discriminating look. During our order the waiter kept deciding for us saying that we won't be able to finish our food when we ordered what we thought was reasonable. Basically the whole atmosphere made us felt uncomfortable. By the end of our meal which is around 10pm they started to clean up the restaurant, taking the trash bags out while the restaurant claims to close around 11:30pm and we saw a rat running around while we were eating. This is really unprofessional and kills the mood. Not recommended.

Dinner is downstairs, and then there's a really cool bar upstairs with couches and little balcony-style seating where you can hang out before or after dinner. Our waitress was great from the start and took such good care of us. We ordered the beef carpaccio and the duck to start, and both were incredible. The carpaccio was hands down one of the best I've had in Switzerland. The duck came with a slaw and sliced apples, which was such a perfect pairing (srsly so good. For mains, my boyfriend ordered the lamb duo and said it was amazing, especially with the wine risotto. I ordered the cordon bleu and... wow. Just wow. It came with fries and ketchup, but the cordon bleu itself was unreal. As soon as you cut into it, the cheese inside is just chef's kiss!!!! We didn't even make it to dessert because we were completely full (which says a lot). Between the food, the service, and the setting, this place is absolutely worth it. Such a special experience. Highly recommend.

After we walked in and requested a table for five, the host looked us up and down, then with a smack of his lips told us "about a fifty minute wait". Clearly not true as over 75% of the restaurant was empty. Immediately, I went outside and successfully made a reservation for 3 minutes later. Of course, I did not actually dine there after receiving that sort of welcome. Try not to judge your customers by looks or clothing. You just missed out on a large cheque. To those who like matches or need a light: I will give one star for having a big jar of matchbooks. Just go down and grab some! Pretty nice and compact.
