We were just too hungry after visiting the Museum next to this place on a Sunday. Firstly, it was not easy to find because the restaurant sits on a terrace which you reach after taking more than 50 stairs. Some serious effort with a stroller. This place is actually a sports bar where you can eat different type of burgers. We ate one LA and one CBO burger, which were quite delicious. The plate comes with sliced fried potatoes, mayonaise and ketchup. Indeed, they charge 2CHF per plate (guess some people steal them?!) and return you at check-out. It has a nice terrace as well which I am sure guests would enjoy on a sunny day.

Herbed potatoes and 3 Franc wine

One of my favorite bars in the world. Great beer and wine selection, and genuinely friendly bartenders. Lots of seating-really fun to come here with a large group of friends. There is a pleasant outdoor area too with twinkle lights and a nice view of the Lausanne cathedral. I personally come here for the 3 Franc wine and herbed potato appetizer. It's 8 francs, but ridiculously delicious, and large enough to share with 2 or 3 friends. Located right in the middle of the city center, next to the metro. If you are in Lausanne, you must come here.

See all

Nice selection of beers. Crowded and noisy - a fun place to go with a "great" group, but not for a quiet "escape".
