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.

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.

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

By far one the best brunch places in Lausanne. There are few choices on the brunch menu, but the quality is very high. I did enjoy my cappuccino, with a super nice presentation, and my sweet pancakes. I've also tried bacon and eggs and the bacon was just delicious. They serve mainly local products which make this place an A+ site. The view from the Hermitage over Lausanne is breathtaking.

Very good experience. Beautifully located just by the musee de l'hérmitage, the place has a pleasant climate to it, especially in the evening. When seated outside, you can see the mountains from afar. The food was quite pricey, 19 chf for a starter, but it was absolutely delicious. Definitely, we will come back and try other positions in the menu.

Delicious food! The brunch menu is brilliant. I loved the hot chocolate as well as the eggs Benedict. The atmosphere is surreal, a quiet garden and a view of the lake. I would have given it a 5 stars if the waiter didn’t put me on a corner table near the bushes and had he been slightly more friendly.
