You take a little escalator up, and the vibe is almost romantic, or as romantic as a cafeteria-like setting can be. I love the concept where you use a card, order anything you want, and pay at the end. I feel like I should have tried more dishes before confirming that this place is three stars. I had a salad with figs and goat cheese, and though it was good and plated adorably, it wasn't enough to make me come back. This place is apparently a chain all over Europe, and the prices are alright when it comes to Swiss restaurants.

I could tell they were very busy but even when we called for them, they told us to wait and never came back to us. The menu does not have any English, and the staff did not really help us with that.

I waited until arriving here to have French cuisine. I knew I could find better French food here because it is closer to France and I was right. I found this restaurant among all the French restaurants in town, I liked their menu and their reviews. We liked it so much that we went there twice and we only stayed in Lausanne for two nights. First night we have onion soup, escargot, beef tartare, green salad, dessert - crème brûlée and ice cream. Second night we have the Seafood tower and salad. Food: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Ambience: 5 starts I love their menu because they serve more traditional French cuisine instead of those nouveau cuisine (like eating foam)-. I want to mention the maître d' named Adrien. I just mentioned to him at the first night that we maybe come back the next day so he sent me an invite to remind me so we did. I would call that's service and thank you for doing that.

I've been here a couple times now, and I'm ambivalent-to-negative on this place. The food is ok,…read morenot great. I had an artichoke salad that was awful -- could barely chew most of it. The Entrecôte "Café de Paris" was a very poor quality piece of steak, with fat and tendons galore. The EB Burger (with a piece of foie gras on top of a patty) is different and delicious -- although the potato wedges that come with it are dry and should be substituted for regular fries. This place is pricey, and there other options that are better values (even in Lausanne, where prices are high in general) Service at the restaurant is hit or miss. For the most part it's professional, but there are definitely some wait staff who give the vibe of being arrogant. Given all that, the only reason this restaurant gets a second star is the ambiance is nice. It's somewhat of an awkward multi-level layout, but it has a charm to it. Classy and elegant. If only the food and service would match the surroundings, I'd be happy to go back.

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!

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.

As we were about to leave the waitress told us there was room downstairs. The luncheonette shares a space with a spa (!). We went down the stairs to find 3 tables and chairs arranged in one corner of the spa. There was a spa-like atmosphere with dimmed light. It felt very weird. The menu is mostly healthy meals, wraps, salads, soups, smoothies and fresh juices. We ordered a wraps and salads. The prices were fair but we were disappointed by the taste. It all tasted very dull. The salad leaves were enormous and not cut, which wasn't easy to eat. At all. On someone's napkin there was a tiny drop of blood and I found a hair in my salad. Most probably from the blond waitress who waited on us. Eh? I may give it another shot for a fresh juice or a smoothie but yesterday's experience set the deal with the food.
