Inglewood Saint-Laurent — Restaurant in Lausanne

I don't understand why this place has so many good reviews. We arrived and had to wait in a kind of holding area like cattle.. which is okay, but the waiter gave us no indication how long we would have to wait. Then when our table was ready he gave it away because we hadn't ordered yet, so he finally gave us a menu and after letting two groups sit down we quickly chose something and ordered. Watching people who had arrived after us get seated before us we almost left, but by this point we were pretty hungry.. You're expected to order whilst in the holding area so that you sit down exactly when the food is ready.. They have managed to create quite a high stress eating environment. It's ok to have an unusual ordering system but you have to explain it to your customers, you can't just assume they know it. Then after being seated for a few minutes we had to flag down a waitress to order drinks, which eventually arrived when our burgers were almost finished. The burger itself was far too pink, dry and too cold. The bread they use is a strange stale and bland tasting bun. There was not enough sauce or cheese in my burger I couldn't taste them at all, there was a pathetic ring of raw onion under the beef which sat on a slippery wet tomato and just didn't work. Overall the burger was moist in all the wrong places and just not a good eating experience. The fries were good. Better off going...

Where to begin. The waiters were nice and helpful, they explained the options as the menu is only in French. And that’s all that goes for the positive part.

The fries were convenience store fries, hence extremely default, sauce was just a regular ketchup - don’t even remember when was the last time I got ketchup for fries sauce in restaurant. The bun was very dry, it looked and tasted sad and old. I chose medium patty, but received well done which I’d be fine with if it wasn’t dry. Based on waiter’s description there was supposed to be something crunchy from the meat - that was not present. Cheese and onion were fine.

Also the burger was pretty small compared to what...

Inglewood in the heart of Lausanne is above all an authentic and local burger, in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Far from the many tasteless fast food restaurants of the city, it uses fresh and quality products, promoting the trade of small producers in the region. Homemade poppy seed bread, old-fashioned crispy fries and a multitude of toppings that make burgers irresistible… And the choice is tough! The burger of the month comes to color the menu with new flavor combinations that every time! The atmosphere is relaxed, make sure you get there early, as the place quickly fills up with hungry people ready to devour...
