The food was good, and the service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and efficient throughout the entire meal. The overall atmosphere had a very authentic Swiss feel, which made the experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a reliable spot with great service and a welcoming environment, Le Pointu is definitely worth a visit.

We were a group of 3 that came in around 11AM. The cafe was already pretty full by this time so it…read moremight be a good idea to make a reservation beforehand, especially for bigger groups. The place is trendy and laid back. There weren't a lot of menu items but enough for a small cafe. We came in on a Monday so no brunch options but we did get some pancakes and drinks. Pancakes were light, fluffy, and not too heavy or sweet. They looked pretty small but did fill us up quickly! I am curious to try their other brunch menus so maybe I will revisit if I'm in Lausanne again.

Cafe des Avenues is one of my favorite "go to" places. It's one of the few places I feel I can go…read morewith my children (or just my laptop) and feel welcome. Friday nights: I've come here quite often with friends and a group of children and they have always been very accommodating and welcoming. There's a seating area with couches and coffee tables for the children to relax in after the dinner is over and while the adults linger over their wine... Not too long ago, there was a football table for kids and adults alike but some bad mannered children killed the fun for all when they tried to score extra balls by stuffing the exit hole with paper. It was a sad night indeed because it seems that the cafe owners have decided not to repair the table. Weekend brunch: Be sure to call in advance to reserve a table for sat or sun brunch because Cafe des Avenues buzzes with activity during the weekends. THe brunches are popular for families. Serving american pancakes, crepes, eggs, bacon, omelets....this place is as close to home (gastronomically speaking) as I'm gonna get. Weekday: With the exception of lunchtime, the cafe is quiet and the perfect place to get some work done. During the week, you will find the cafe scattered with people working on their laptops, sipping their cafe or tea and nibbling on a croissant or one of their excellent goufres.

I had the tartare de boeuf avec crostinis. I had the beef a bit spicy, which is exactly how I wanted it, not overpowered with spice, but just enough heat to feel each bite. both of us were happy with our choices, and hope to come back soon. I will add that the kitchen will not open up until 6:30, as with most cafe's and restaurants here in Lausanne , but you can have a few drinks and talk while you wait.

We got here around noon, and it took awhile for the food to come out although there weren't many people but the staff was nice and helpful. The food was all pretty good and rich of flavor! We ordered some salmon and meat dishes. I enjoyed the food presentation, which was on point and detailed for each plate. I would come back again on a nice sunny day to sit outside and try new foods and also taste their Swiss wine!

The plates were gorgeous and everything was super fresh. Highlight for me was a true introduction to Swiss wines. My first try at Swiss wine in Montreux was less than stellar.
