Bar Tabac is a very nice bar/café/bistrot located near the St. Francois cathedral. What I like: The staff is very friendly, and the owner never misses a chance to give you hints on their selection of international beers (I specially appreciate the Belgian ones) or just make you laugh:). They also have a good selection of Tees and tapas. The decor looks a little old but that adds to the charm of the place. The place can host big and small groups which is convenient when you want to meet before going out. The crowd type depends on the time of the day, it can range from families, afterwork people, partygoers or students. The "can do better" prices are a bit steep, specially for the Tees and the place can be sometimes be a bit messy

The patrons are a mix of tourists and locals. The staff speaks English...in fact one woman told me prefers to so she can practice. I have had a burger and chicken Tandoori salad, both excellent. 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.

Atmosphere 5/5: Located inside the Lausanne & Spa Palace, the LP's Bar is a great place to enjoy a drink or eat some snacks. The high ceiling gives a lot of volume and depth to the bar. In the back of the restaurant, a sort of library with bottles of expensive Champagne are aligned. The terrace is even more breathtaking with a direct view to the Alps and the Leman Lake. Food 5/5: I only tried the Burger and this is one of the best burger you'll find in Lausanne. Fresh patty served with Paprika French Fries! Exquisite food! Service 4/5: Service can be slow at times since some of the time, the LP Bar is a place where some students gets internship and start working in the food industry. To summarize, an experience worth 35 CHF! Yes, it might be one of the most expensive Burger you'll eat but come on, just let it go. You're in Switzerland. Enjoy your time there.

Horrible service! Avoid this place like the plague. Arrogant and cold ambiance. The management…read moreis especially rude (the manager even walked up to me and told me off in front of customers) because I left negative feedback on their feedback card. Food is mediocre and overpriced. (e.g. Lemonade falsely advertised as "fresh" was made from lemon juice from a bottle cost CHF 9, equivalent of USD 11! It was not even sweetened, we had to add our own sugar; Club sandwich was disgusting, egg and mayonnaise was overpowering).

Only been once but the salads my friend and I had were absolutely beautiful. I mean, really beautifully prepared. They tasted good too and were more than filling. Can't remember what the service was like but they were nice enough and pretty speedy. It's maybe not the most "chaleureux" of places (hence only 4 stars) but this vegetarian was pretty happy with the food. Also has a cellar concert venue, which I hear is worth checking out.
