What a great place to enjoy Lunch with a friend in downtown Lausanne. This is by far one of the most healthiest place I found so far with L'Etoile Blanche as well in Lausanne. The difference here is that you pick the food you want first, you pay and then you go eat it. No waiter or waitress here. This reminds me the old Manora for the people who lived in Lausanne located in St-François but a classier version.
Atmosphere 5/5: I really like the atmosphere of the restaurant. Trendy and Urban, Philippe Gignard did a great job to create a great urban stop to pick up your lunch in of those Lunch Bag for 19 CHF or 23 CHF. The architecture of the Bar is also well done as well. Great colors and music as background.
Food 4/5: Food is definitely good! Fresh and healthy, the perfect mix. The first time I've been there, I had their Plat du Jour which consisted of a Sole Filet done in a "Meunière" kind of way. It was really good and I really enjoyed. It costed 18 CHF. Some of the Salad looks good as well! But you can't go out of this place without trying one of their fresh desserts. They have different kind of Mousse (Raspberry, Vanilla, Chocolate), Cream Puffs or Baba Rhum. All done fresh!
Service 3/5: Despite the fact the restaurant doesn't have any waiter or waitress, I would except fast service at the cashier and people here to advise you the different choice you have for lunch. You sometimes have to wait at the Cashier before somebody can cash you out after 2 / 3pm.
This is still a place I love to go for lunch. Everything here is over average. If you're in Lausanne, make sure to stop there for some desserts. read more
