Lino's is a little coffee chain I came about during my weekend stay in Montreux. Situated directly…read moreacross from the main train station, and within a fairly posh hotel lobby...it's in a prime spot to house hotel guests, weary (or excited) travelers, locals, etc. I stopped in on this particular day for a cappuccino and people watching. If you ever feel lost in life, just observe a train station for a few minutes. Everyone is lost in life for a little bit, so then...don't feel so bad :) I perched myself at an outside table (there is table service) and after waving the waiter down a few times finally received my cappuccino, complete with the dusting of cocoa powder that seems to coat almost every coffee-laden surface in Switzerland. Cost = 5 CHF. About standard, especially catering to tourists in this location. However, I've had many coffees in Switzerland and most are accompanied by a better assortment of treats. This one was not...minus a star, where's the chocolate Lino!? They also have a small menu of sandwiches/salads, so if you are waiting for a train, or just getting your bearings...just pop across the street and have a coffee or snack, it will be much more relaxing than the train station chaos!

Great lemon dessert crêpe, great prosciutto-Nüssli-goatcheese crêpe, mediocre…read morespinach-egg-mushroom-tomato crêpe, and pretty annoying service. (For those of you who know Chez Panisse in Berkeley, this place is named after the same book & movie character --- there's no close relationship between the restaurants). The lemon crêpe was exactly what you'd hope for --- some sugar (but not too much), plenty of lemon juice, and tender-but-not-soggy base. The aged ham and Nüssli / Lamb's salad crepe with chèvre (the "Mahlgin", perhaps?) was also great --- very fresh salad, savory ham, and creamy goat cheese. By contrast, the "Olive" crepe (after Popeye's girlfriend, not the oil source) seemed to include frozen chopped spinach, canned mushrooms, and far too much canned tomato sauce. The spinach and tomato soaked the crêpe, leaving it soggy. Finally, the service --- I know they're dealing with tourists (who either speak lousy French like us, or no French), but our server managed to be in our face & shouting much of the time, but mysteriously absent when we were trying to pay our bill (one of the kitchen staff tracked her down for us). Not a fan.

This place doesn't even deserve one star. Horrible coffee with even worse service. We repeatedly…read moreget the cold shoulder and have to chase up the lady that manages the place to take our order.
