    Very tasty food. We had the vegetables spring rolls and it was very tasty, we all enjoyed them…read more Then we had the Basil chicken and the Cashew chicken. Both were excellent. We had rice too. The servings of rice were really small, crazy small for what you pay for rice. Once again prices of things in Switzerland are crazy expensive. I forget how the rice was but it was something like 4sf for a tiny bit. But the food was good. Service was slow however.

    Of the two Thai restaurants that I've been to in Geneva, Sam-Lor is the better one. It's slightly…read moremore tricky to find than Restaurant Thai, but the food is a lot more traditional. Again, introduced to this restaurant by a local colleague and have been in 2-3 times over the years. If it was easier to find and I was a little braver, then I might have been back more. The slight downside is that it's on the other side of Lake Geneva to the main city centre, and thus puts me off slightly to walk across the bridge and find my way around if I'm by myself. The food is lovely - on my most recent visit, I had the spring rolls and the glass noodles (which come in this really cool pot over a candle!). If I had room for dessert, I would have devoured one! Again, it seems expensive, but I'm comparing to London prices - CHF26 for Pad Thai noodles, if I remember correctly! The staff are really nice here, but limited English if that's an important factor. The atmosphere and decor are pretty cool - there is a canoe boat that is used as a bar! Worth a visit when you're feeling like some alternative cuisines in Geneva.

    The four of us arrived at the Thai restaurant starving and ordered appetizers right away (Spicy…read moresoup with shrimps 13.50chf and 4 chicken skewers with Satay sauce 8.00chf). The bowl of soup was large enough for two as an appetizer. The chicken skewers were good but did not resemble the photo on the wall (which was what enticed us in the first place). The two of us who ordered the pad thai (described on the menu as "pan fried noodles with shrimp, chicken, or tofu") were very pleased: "Not too much sauce, not too greasy." The dish came with condiments on the side (chili pepper, lime...). The green curry with chicken and pumpkin and red curry with duck were flavorful and delicious. The portions are rather large but it was not possible to share family style because each dish arrived with the rice already on a large dinner plate. The waitress kindly packed up my friend's leftover pad thai in a take out box. A rarity outside the US! According to our friendly, chatty waitress, her mom was the one cooking in the kitchen which explained why all the dishes came out fresh. I can't wait to return to try the other items on the menu....for the first time, I'm tempted to order for take out to maximize my culinary experiences there! Pros: delicious, value for money, generous portions, friendly service, cleanest toilet in Lausanne Cons: small space (perhaps up to 25 people), not suitable for large groups as tables are limited, must share table with other diners, they need to get thai ice tea on their menu!

    We saw this place recommended on Trip Advisor as one of the few good inexpensive restaurants in…read moreLausanne. It didn't disappoint. The food was delicious (I ordered the 5 spice duck), and the price was very reasonable - especially for a tourist haven in Switzerland. The main downside is that they don't have many indoor tables, they're mainly a take-away joint. This didn't bother us much - we just took our food down to the lakeside to eat it. They also have menus in English, which was greatly appreciated since my French is terrible.
