This place is SO good that I wish there were places like it in Los Angeles! Everything is homemade, the menu changes every day, the ingredients are so fresh and everything I had was absolutely delicious!! I always ate the suggested meal on the menu, and ended up eating here for lunch every day I was at the festival (3 straight days). They also serve dinner. I highly recommend the noodle curry and the tofu bowl with peanut sauce - literally the best peanut sauce I've ever had in my life. The food is hearty, filling and so so good. They provide both a French and English menu. I highly recommend this spot for vegans and vegetarians or anyone who wants a healthy and creative meal that doesn't involve bread or cheese, which is sorta hard to find in France.

Most of what we ordered was pretty plain though, especially the Mélodie salad, which is surprisingly a bestseller. The only truly tasty dish was La Crazy salad--the guacamole was really rich and flavorful. The smoked tofu was also a good touch, though it's 50 cents extra on top of the vegan prices. Utensils-wise, the store uses all single-use, biodegradable products. It would be another plus if they transitioned to real bowls and glasses for dining in, or at least not use disposable bowl covers for eating in. Overall, a nice spot to get a quick healthy bite, but the dishes could use more flavor.

Our server was Sonia and she was so sweet and personable. We started with a cauliflower soup and snacks of thick cut fries with blue cheese & garlic sauce to dip fries , bread and fingers in .

I don't think the crips in the mousse was necessary as it took away from the smoothie cream texture ( my opinion) Wine list was great and overall ambiance was cozy and inviting.

Although we were there on the opening night, we had to wait only thirty minutes and the service was excellent. Located in the historic western wing of Lausanne train station, the location is in itself amazing, with restored frescoes covering the ceiling and the walls. Now, for the food. It is freaking fantastic. You two self-service bars - one for deserts and one for the entrees. All the food is vegetarian, a lot of it is as well vegan; I believe all the deserts are vegan as well. The entree bar has two levels - one for hot foods, one for cold ones and is organized as a ring. After you fill your dish on the ring, you can take a piece of bread for free (there are gluten-free bread options), and you need to go to the bar to weight your food as well as to get drinks. The selection includes several cocktails, wines, beers as well non-alcoholic fancy beverages and the hot stuff - coffee, chocolate, teas. For me, I have sampled the entire hot bar and took the cheapest glass of white wine they had. Not only I was not disappointed, but I was also amazed at the quality of the food - everything I tried was absolutely delicious, with a special mention for their stuffed peppers and vegetarian falafel-like balls as well as vegan tartar. I am a meat-eater myself, so quite often I tend to find vegan/vegetarian cuisine lackluster, but this was absolutely not the case. The wine, despite its low price, was quite good and paired well with the dishes. As soon as we were finished with the main dish, we went to grab some deserts with hot drinks. Whereas my friends opted for hot chocolate, I made a strategic error of opting for a cold one. The crucial difference is that cold chocolate is cold milk with powder, wheres the hot one is the hot milk with an actual lollipop of chocolate on a wooden mixing spoon. Fortunately, I was able to avenge myself by getting the last pieces of the cheesecake (I believe without any diary in it). The dates were heavenly as well, whereas all the other desserts had a bit too strong of a flavor of soja milk for me where I would have expected the normal milk. Overall, I tend to eat quite a lot, which is sometimes a problem in European restaurants. In this case, I was pretty well satiated, without overeating, for only 35 CHF, including everything. For a restaurant this quality in such a location and with such a great environment in Switzerland, it's a more than decent price! Overall - would absolutely recommend, you should definitely check it out if you are vegetarian/vegan or have friends.
