Great other Swiss food items such as Röstis, saucisson or fondue vigneronne (red wine based broth in which you dip your meat slices, comes with fries and a variety of sauces).

Full of locals with one table remaining that didn't have a reserved sign! Luck, pure luck. We were the only English speaking people in the place...the rest locals which in our estimation is a great sign. The inside is charming and full of warmth. We ordered a Plat du Jour which consisted of a small green salad, pan fried veal cutlets and fries & a grilled pork chop served with Rosti and a side salad. The salads and bread appeared. While the salads were simple they were beautiful. A delicious vinaigrette that made one want to just keep eating lettuce! I saved a bit of mine so that I could dip my veal in if need be. Didn't need it but it was good on it. The veal was cooked to perfection. The fries were addictive. We both tried but both had to leaves some fries. Portions were very nice size. Le Mazot is not a large restaurant. It probably seats about 30 inside and has an outdoor area that can accommodate about the same. On our visit both areas were full. One lady, possibly the owner, worked the whole area. She was great. Highly recommend making a reservation for lunch or dinner. It is fantastic.

Cozy restaurant tucked away within little town of Vevey, but if you're wanting to tuck into a…read moreclassic fondue, there's no place cosier! (And a charming hostess to boot.) Cheval - or horse meat - is a specialty of the house, so having never tried it, my colleagues and I opted to share an entree of cheval tartare as an appetizer. It came generously proportioned, a mound of finely chopped meat which was very tender and smooth. But it was hard to determine the true taste of the meat as it was heavily spiced and seasoned. It wasn't bad but it wasn't really memorable either. I'll probably stick with a beef tartare moving forward. On the other hand, their cheese fondue was memorable! A big pot of molten and winy cheese, long-handled forks, plenty of good crusty bread, and a couple of bottles of the local red made this a fully satisfying and convivial treat on a frosty December evening in Switzerland. The place filled quickly with locals and became a very cheery and festive night. Great fun!

One the lake, beautiful weather, people, and of courses my stunning date. We went here on August 2nd, to eat. I wanted to check this out just because of the location. The bruschetta was great. I love tomatoes and bread with some olive oil and balsamic. How do you say no to this? It is delicious. We split a pizza, and it was delightful. Nothing overly filing because I mean we had some other places to try. The service was great, being tourists with backpacks, we felt like there was no judgement. We had a airol spritz like at the cafe du centre. Again, such an amazing drink and maybe we had a couple that day. It was pretty awesome. The lower reviews here, I mean, like for real, grow up homies.

The atmosphere, unquestionably, is fantastic namely on the count that you're on the shores of Lake Geneva with one of the best views one can have. That's the good. Now, the bad is that service is awful - full stop. Slow, grumpy, yadda yadda yadda. No Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? 22,00 CHF for a full English Breakfast isn't something I haven't seen before, but in those previous situations I received a feast to be sure. I initially thought this too was a feast, but it turned out to be a feast predominantly of beans. More on that later, but for Lausanne and the atmosphere the price point wasn't quite fully unreasonable. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? Looking at the picture, you might suspect I was initially quite excited for this - I was. It looked great, it looked complex, and it looked like a unique iteration of the full english in bowl form. Interesting! Unfortunately, it was in practice far less complicated, because underneath it was really all just beans with the rest sprinkled on top. So, so, so, so many beans, and they took over the entire dish not in the good way. Single Star. Star 5: Would you be excited to go back? I would not. No Star.

And the side of potatoes could have fed a whole table full of people, and that just came with our meal! The restaurant was recommended by our hotel, and they were dead-on. Just great.

Besides mussels (which I rarely eat), they're probably most known for the mitraillette, kind of like a sub sandwich stuffed with burger patty or chicken, cheese, fries, and sauce.
