My friends took me here to enjoy a goodbye lunch before I leave Switzerland in the next coming days for a new adventure in the US. I was not expecting such a nice restaurant on the outskirts of Nyon amidst the apartment jungle. It was nice to enjoy the last few moments of today's sunshine in their leafy outdoor terrace area.
To our surprise they were celebrating their 10 yr anniversary with a prize drawing. Of course, my husband drew a winning paper, and received a large magnum size wine bottle! No worries, my review is based purely on the quality food, friendly service, and great atmosphere.
The men of our group took the roasted lamb plat du jour plate, and the girls opted for salads and smoked salmon and toast. The food was fresh and tasty. I especially loved the salmon. It is the best I have had in Switzerland. The salmon slices were thick, juicy, and full of flavor..very refreshing on a hot day. Only one improvement could have been reducing the quantity of sliced onions on top. No worries though, that is easy to remove. The boys enjoyed their meat, which came nicely topped with a yummy mushroom sauce. My husband even watched them while they roasted the meat. We topped the meal off by sharing a house made citron tarte, which was good, but missing the extra "citron kick" that I prefer. The café to finish the meal was just a lovely note to end the experience.
My friends have come here a couple of times before, and they mentioned that one thing they love about the place is that the menu offers a bit of something for everyone, and they haven't found anything bad. They have an eclectic menu which offers pizza, pasta, and even fondue. read more
