Maybe I'm just not a fondue fan at all, but even if I were I'm not sure I would love Restaurant de l'Eveche on account of a very limited menu, uncertain execution, and frankly, the overpowering smell that I'm sure comes with all fondue restaurants. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? The service at Restaurant de l'Eveché was fine - the orders came out quickly, and everyone was very friendly. Having said that, the smell in Restaurant de l'Eveche is pretty overpowering, and it doesn't go away even if you're there for quite some time. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? Restaurant de l'Eveche is expensive. Full stop. We had tiny little side salads, some bread, and a pot of cheese and it ran a staggering 36,00 CHF. Maybe that's normal for high end fondue, but it seemed unreasonable. No Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? I was honestly just not a fan of any of this. The salad and bread were standard, and both types of cheese just weren't doing it for me full stop. No Stars. Star 5: Would you be excited to go back? Again, maybe I'm just not a fondue guy, but I've been to other spots that mix it up enough to hold my interest. Restaurant de l'Eveche didn't. No Star. read more

Our waiter, Carlos, was a hoot! When we sat down, he said he didn't speak English, but as we discussed the menu, he offered snippets in English with a wry grin. He helped us make choices, where we all switched to fondue, which was fantastic! Carlos would always be humming or singing songs, and was a joy in helping us in any way! We had two different fondues which were amazingly delicious! read more

Note: 2 stars on Yelp mean "Meh, I've experienced better" Food -- 3 stars Service, overall experience -- 2 stars Pros: - open on Sunday (not many restaurants are open during this time in this area) - good 4-cheese fondue - a lot of bread and mini potatoes come with the fondue - free wifi (just ask for the password) Cons: - hot chocolate. They literally give you a cup of warm milk and a pack of instant mix - fondue prices are per person, not per bowl - only 1 type of bread and potatoes are included with the fondue; no fun stuff :( - only 1 server on a rainy afternoon, so service was not very quick - prices are a bit high for the quality of the food :/ Bottom line: I do not recommend you go out of your way to eat here. If you're in the area and everything else is closed and it's currently pouring rain, this restaurant will suffice. read more

Slow service, but I think that is customary for this area. The fondu was very flavorful, but yes the price is per person so it was more expensive than we previously were hoping for. A plus was that the potatoes were cooked perfectly imo. For desert we had an ice cream that was very good too. read more

Restaurant de l'Evêché - Ice cream with a dehydrated sugared orange garnish. - Cafes Near Me - Lausanne, VD

Since they changed owner a few years ago, the service and the food felt off. I talk about the cheese fondue which is the main dish there. The portions are small and smaller than any other "fondue restaurant". The price is a little bit higher. The give bread, a few nice potatoes and that's it. If you want to have pickles you have to pay for it. Delicatessen plates are pretty big comparing it with the fondue. Now the service : it is better than last year, the boss is serving with other 3 waiters. That day we were about 25 in the restaurant, and that was really slow to get rid if our dishes on the table and to get coffees and the bill. But anyway, the fondue was nice and creamy, but I will avoid the place if I can. Open on Sunday, which is good to know...if everything else is closed. :) By the way, that's a nice place to have a drink summertime, they have a beautiful terrace at the back of the restaurant, and a few tables on the road at the entrance of the place. But terrace is wonderful and quiet. read more

We were on a walking tour of the area, and decided to give this a try. We were the second table to be seated in restaurant, just after noon. We took a while to figure out the menu, and finally 2 of our party ordered the Asian selection of the day (there were 3 daily specials). We waited a while and finally got a couple of small salads as part of the specials. Meanwhile, other people who arrived after us had received their food. We waited a bit longer and got our non-daily-special orders. Finally, the daily specials came, but were not the specials we had ordered. The waitress (different from who took our order) said "il n'ya plus" of what we said we ordered, which was odd. My salad with grilled chicken had good greens, with slightly dry chicken. The recommended white wine was light and flavorful. The pasta carbonara had a nice sauce and ok pasta. I give this place 3 stars because even with the miscommunication with the order-taker, and the resistance of the food delivered to make things right, and the ok-to-good food, the supervisor was very customer-friendly and tried to rectify things. I kind of wish I had tried Blackbird, just down the way, however. read more

l'Evêché was very accommodating, and their hours are good. For an established fondue place, to be able to get a decent salad, I was pleased, while my companions adored the spicy fondue. read more

I treated some friends to a fondue at this old Swiss institution of Lausanne next to the Charles Bessieres bridge. At first, everything was nice. We were very well received and had no problem with our orders - two portions of tomato sauce, a newly created sauce , and a portion of moitie-moitie, a classic sauce with two types of cheese. The food was excellent and there is no complaint from me about the quality of the dishes. I, however, have a problem with the waiter who was a bit unfriendly and not being very communicative. Even though he spoke French with a slight accent, he tried to avoid a conversation with us. He was cold and wearing a mask most of the evening thus made us very uneasy. He took away our fondue before we were finished with it, thus preventing us from tasting the best part of the fondue, the thick crust of the cheese at the bottom of the pan or la religieuse in French. All I can say is it felt a bit weird with the service at this old place, an institution in Lausanne dating back several decades. Other than that, the fondue was excellent and the wine list was ok. read more

Obviously their Fondue is better than other meals. My filet (ordered medium) was very well done and for 39.- SFR very small.
