A very enjoyable evening at Vieux Lausanne. Three of us were passing through and found this place…read moreby chance. We split the deer carpaccio as a starter, which was wonderful - tender thin slices of meat with arugula, walnuts, and walnut oil. Two of us had the rib steak, which was a thin boneless ribeye and cooked to order, medium rare in my case. Served with three sauces: black olive, basil, and spicy red pepper. Tender and flavorful. Lovely bottle of local red wine, lighter in color but full flavored. Excellent service, highly recommended!

After seeing glowing reviews on numerous sites, I decided to stop by to try some fondue while I was…read morein town. Although the service was fine, the dining experience turned out to be all around pretty lackluster. The restaurant is on the smaller side and felt a bit claustrophobic with the low-rounded ceiling and few windows. The lighting was also really bright, in contrast to other restaurants which use dim/warm lighting for dinner service. I was seated at the corner of a long table and felt a bit pressed against the wall, as the bench on which I sat was fairly thin and there was only about a foot of space between the table and the wall (to my back). I don't know about the other menu items, but the price point was a bit high for fondue. Standard fondue is 24 CHF and fondue with morel mushrooms (morrilles) is a few CHF more. Curious, I decided to try the fondue with morels and paired it with a glass of white wine. The wine was good and the fondue tasted fine, but turns out there were barely any discernible morel crumbs in the fondue, far from being worth the upcharge. On top of that, the portion was very small and the bread was not fresh. I felt like I was caught in a tourist trap. I've dined at some other places in Lausanne that felt more comfortable and had better fondue. I'd probably stick with those next time I'm in town.

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.

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.
