“ Lovely space near the Lausanne gate station. There is indoor and outdoor dining. Best to make a reservation-yet note once the reservation has been made you have only an hour and a half at your table. Coffee was good but the food was inadequate as I got the eggplant toast and requested twice that no ham be placed on it. However, when it arrived there was ham! It was quickly removed but I was left with one thin slice of eggplant, on toast and nothing else. There are little to no vegan options on the menu. The service was slow and the food too expensive for what we paid. Would not go back again - ”
“ Tasty and fresh food, each dish is creatively and careful prepared to give you the best flavour. Went there a few times already and tried the beef, salmon, burrata as well the desserts and I can say all are delicious. Atmosphere is very jazzy and calm, loved it! ”
“ Very good Brunch on the terrace ! The menu is unique and creative. It's also great for vegetarians! We had the option of calling to book a table. You can also do so on the TheFork app. If you're a hungry bear, you can go for the three-plate option. If you're a pooh, the two-plate option works well too! ”
“ Great place for a brunch in Lausanne. Very conveniently located close to the railway station. Very tasty food and excellent service. The butternut stracciatella, tartare and mousse de cèpes are definitely worth tasting! ”
“ This place is super good for brunch with friends. It has space inside and also have a nice terrace and for sunny days it is perfect. There is nice coffee place nearby which is named sleepy bear where you get the best speciality coffees. The service is great, there is slight waiting time between taking orders, but if you are there to have relaxed brunch time, this is not an issue. Highly recommended!! In addition, I really enjoyed the sweet options as shown in the pictures. ”
“ Delicious food where you discover tastes that you did not even know it existed. Local food with a lot of flavors. The service is very friendly and caring. It feels like home and the ambiente is very coasy with the opportunity to sit also outside. ”
“ Underrated spot in Lausanne for brunch or lunch. Their food is original and very tasty with innovative combinations. It’s also perfect if you want to share with friends. The terrace is cute and quiet. Tastes are well balanced. The bean and dried tomato hummus is a big hit! Tartare is good too but could have more of a kick imo. Maybe some more herbs or a more acidic note. ”
“ A fantastic brunch spot in Lausanne! We stopped by after visiting the Olympic Museum (just a 10–15 minute walk away) and were glad to find it open on a Sunday when most other places were closed—a definite plus. It’s also easily accessible from Lausanne’s main station. The lively atmosphere, the hum of conversations, and the sounds of coffee machines make it a great place to enjoy brunch. The local concept of various ingredients on toast was new to us, and we tried the beef tartare, salmon, and a sweet meringue-based option—all of which were delicious and satisfying. Unlike many brunch spots, the portions here felt just right. If you’re in Lausanne, this place is definitely worth a visit! ”
