L'Echo — Restaurant in Lausanne

The food was good, although the service was not so friendly. We were two people having lunch, and afterwards I had to take a meeting call. They were rude and said that it’s not a place to work at and that having a call was not acceptable (even though my speaking volume was the same as the normal conversation I had just before). I tried to explain in a friendly way the importance of the call and that it was going to be short. I was even sitting furthest away from all other customers so no one could get bothered. The waitress then sent her male colleague to speak with me and even threatened to call the police. So I had to awkwardly explain the situation to the person I was on the call with and reschedule our meeting. This has never happened to me before at a cafe/ restaurant when I’ve had to take a call. I’m not going back here again,...

My husband and I ordered the pea soup (du jour) which came with bread, and a bowl, all vegan and gluten-free. Very tasty and well spiced. We also ordered a chocolate mousse (vegetarian) and an apple pie. Not too sweet which is what we prefer as we usually don’t eat sweets. And a fresh ginger lemon drink which was fresh and well balanced. We did not have an English menu to order from but our waitress was very helpful (and friendly) and explained the menu options very well. I only wish we were staying in Lausanne so we could return....

Came for a Friday lunch, definitely book ahead as it gets crowded. Such a lovely place, the staff is extremely nice and food delicious - a vegetarian’s heaven - and even more so for vegans, plenty of choices ! :) Fresh, local, sustainable and delicious. Can’t ask for more. Ambiance is super cozy as well. Entrance is a bit hidden, and it’s a bummer they’re only open for lunch (and Saturday brunch, which I’m looking forward to try soon). Will be a regular from now on for sure ! Thanks to this lovely and...
