Sehr schön innen, man kann draussen sitzen
sehr nettes Bistro gleich bei l‘Hermitage Gelegen; gute Küche mit kreativen Angebot; sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter
Freundliche Bedienung, gute Küche, in einem herrlichen Park gelegen
Magnifique endroit vraiment très accueillant et cadre du lieu très agréable et calme!
Nous y avons bruncher et tout les plats que l'on a commandé étaient délicieux, tout comme les boissons, nous n'avons pas été déçu!
Cependant difficile d'accès en voiture le parking à côté de l'esquisse est privé pour le personnel, nous avons donc dû aller jusqu'au parking du signal un bon bout plus haut
Délicieux brunch à découvrir
Je me suis vraiment régalé merci
l’équipe super sympathique jeune
endroit très agréable en amis au en famille ????
Beautiful place with a contemporary menu of fusion dishes and brunch. What a fund!
The service is not consistently good. A bit of the usual arrogance we see in Switzerland from service and politeness from some staff. If you’re used to this, as you will be if you live here, then it’s nothing to write home about and it’s worth the effort to come here for the incredible food, nice view and proximity to the lovely hermitage art gallery
The desserts are extremely tasty and unique, however the drinks are not spectacular. The atmosphere is relaxed but since it was raining, part of the restaurant/cafe was smelling like wet dog. The table was a little sticky and no napkins were served. The staff is kind but wanted us to pay directly after the order which gave off a distrusting impression.
All in all agreeable after visiting the Foundation de l'Hermitage Exhibition but I wouldn't come here just for the restaurant.
Small restaurant associated with the Hermitage art museum, They serve simple but honest food with brunch on Saturdays and Sundays when the art loving BoBo's from Lausanne and its region visit the museum. Usually brunches permit the participants to chose freely from a buffet, here you pay for each dish and this may add up to a considerable amount of money, in particular for a family. The terrace is lovely when the weather is nice and you have a view over the cathedral, the lake and the alps. The children can use a nearby playground. Not particularly good value for money.
