"Ich war schon lange nicht mehr so fasziniert von einem Restaurant.Die Location ist prima leicht zu erreichen! Die gute Verkehrsanbindung macht eine Spritztour dorthin fix möglich.Die Professionalität des Personals ist wahrlich großartig.Jawohl,... richtig um nach wie vor ein Dessert nachher verdrücken zu können."

"The place is great, the menu top, prices fair. On the other hand, the service was lousy. When people order trays and they PAY, the least they can do is give napkins and cutlery and not blow when asked, this message is especially aimed at the short black-haired English-speaking miss. We're here to have a good time, not teach you your job. It's good to hire pretty little girls, it would be even better if they know how to serve... of course this doesn't concern all the waitresses, some are adorable and professional."

"Beautiful restaurant with wonderful food! The location is perfect with a large terrace on the lake. I'm a celiac, and they haven't caused me any problems! What was nice, the staff was very on earth and friendly, which is not often the case in high-end restaurants!"

"I really like Ethiopian food and was looking forward to this visit as I had recently visited another Ethiopian/ Eritrean restaurant close by called the Red Sea. My first impression of Abyssinia from the outside was not really great. I think the entrance signboard and façade looked outdated and could definitely improve apparently the restaurant has been around for a decade). looks a bit like a Kebab take away shop. But this was ok and could be overlooked as the interiors were a different story altogether. As in really really great! Rustic, authentic decor from the ceiling to the seating to the menu card right up to the toilet entrance! Really loved it! I love authenticity and this place oozed of it! the servers were also nice and courteous. We ordered the menu dégustation which has a bit of everything and it even looked great when it was brought. Not too long a wait. So all great so far but that’s where the plot was lost. The food was cold !!!And of course the flavours don’t really come out with cold food. This was a real let down and up until this point we were really enjoying. I guess we should have sent the food back, but the damage had been done. So from then on the shine rubbed off and we finished and left with the same take- away feeling one would get from a mediocre dining experience. So Abyssinia really are close to getting it all right but simple execution mistakes such as cold food are not doing them any favours. As in if I had to make a choice of going for Ethiopian food In Lausanne, I would probably go back to The Red Sea which is just a 100 mts away. The ambience there is not comparable at all but the food was much better."

"Small seating area was very full when we arrived at 8pm without a reservation (a sign that the food would be good), and we were greeted in a friendly manner and asked to wait at the bar for 4-5 minutes as a table would be...open soon. Our orders were taken quickly after seating and the excellent pizza was served in less than 10 minutes. It has earned and deserves its good reputation and rating."

"This is an Ethiopian restaurant, so there are many gluten-free options thanks to the Teff grains that are naturally gluten-free. They serve large meals of vegetables and meat, and you can eat it with teff galettes instead of wheat. Basically, almost everything has saved a few things and the gallets are gluten-free. They also have gluten-free desserts and Ethiopian gluten-free beers (again thanks to teff). The waitress is really nice."

"One of my top meals in Switzerland! The tasting menu exceeded my expectations. The service did as well!! Thank you Maitre D Diane for choosing the perfect table for me (dining alone). This for me is so important!! Special thanks to Head Sommelier Dorianne who...introduced me to some amazing wines!!! I look forward to returning again and taking a tour of her wine cellar! Thank you also to Christian, Jules, and all the team for your world class service with excellence! And of course my biggest compliments to the Chef and her team of experts!!!! Unforgettable!!!"

"Very small place reservation essential and a bit elbow to elbow. Service was first class and the food was excellent. Very fresh, properly prepared, decent selection of fish (some of which was not on the menu, but available as a kind of “daily catch” . Was persuaded to try unfiltered sake, which I had never had before (despite having lived in Japan and I do NOT recommend it. Their standard cold dry sake was perfectly good, unfiltered was milky and sweet, not nice at all. But otherwise, nice restaurant, good food and service, will go again."

"I used my own recyclable shopping bag to carry shop products in the store and emptied it fully in front of the cashier to pay. (Minimizing contact in pandemic environment). To my shock, the cashier still asked to check the inside of my bag. She wanted to ensure I was not trying get away without paying for more products, basically she was suspicious that I would steal. A loyal customer's for the last 6 years in Lausanne, this felt very insulting! Living in Switzerland for more than 10 years, this is the first time my bag have been checked (and for no real reason). And I imagine they do this for every many customers using their own shopping bags, which is common in Switzerland. Like some other comments here, I think their customer attitude and orientation can be improved."

"I visited this place several times and I love it absolutely. The concept is great when you order what you want, and then your pizza is freshly cooked and bought over you. The choices are great and I would highly recommend this restaurant."

"My family and I spent a pleasant and quiet evening at this restaurant. The decoration and atmosphere were conducive to relaxation and tasting, giving the impression of being elsewhere. The service was also excellent. As a home cook, I have to admit to eating well. I chose the Lamb Tagine with Prunes, while my company opted for the Lamb Tagine with Artichokes with Couscous, and both dishes were excellent. I was even able to have my tea only with mint, because green tea disrupts my sleep. At other places, asking for just mint often gets strange looks, but here the lady even suggested it to me! This restaurant is highly recommended!"

"Obeirut is a very well known address in Lausanne but I never had the chance to go there until last Tuesday. The service was at first very slow, they didn't ask us for drinks and we had to call the waiter after 15min. They took our drink order, but not the food.. Had to wait again.. We took the menu, and it came pretty quickly. The food is ABSOLUTELY delicious! After the appetizers we were all almost full.. It has been impossible to finish the main dishes.. And then came the dessert . One of us didn't take the menu so had no dessert but the waiter generously offered him one. At the end, they offered the digestive.. Depsite we had to wait quite a bit at the beginning, the overall experience was Stunning and the staff super friendly."

"Grilled raviolis that are clearly homemade, delicious and perfectly cooked to have a crispy bottom. Chicken with cumin that is light, tender and subtly flavored (not overwhelming like when I make lamb with cumin at home). Even their hot chili oil was notable, having almost a chili paste with oil and tiny sessame seeds. Pleasant, considerate yet professional service. I plan to return, but with more people so we can enjoy a larger sampling of the menu."

"Very nice location but way too much downside. Owner/waiter is rude. Pasta is over priced for what it is. Pasta itself is fresh but the ingredients used with it are so poor. Honestly don't come here if you want good Pasta. If you want to spend a good amount of money on a disappointing meal come here. Side note: walked into restaurant and saw plate of tomato sandwiches near the servers desk (obviously removed after it wasn't finished from a different table) and that same plate was served to me with a small rearrangement."

"I liked the service here, which was friendly and efficient. They have rabbit and other interesting dishes prepared in a nice classic way. I enjoy the vibe in the old Cité, and this might be the best way to enjoy that vibe and eat European...food."

"Food is nicely plated and the service is friendly. Taste is dissappointing. Tried the veal, lamb and beef filet, was all okay, but the overall composition was bad, vegetables tasted fishy, sauce was sparse, potatoes were really bad. Scallops were bland and not prepped well. Salmon tartar looked horrendous. Fries were super nice though. Overall not worth going if you love food. If you dont care too much, you will have a good time."

"Went for a hiking whole day, so we were looking for an early dinner before heading back home. So we searched and reserved a table for two at 17h00 via TheFork. But when we announced our reservation, the service crews and the owner said they don't open for dinner before 18h00. The owner said she also didn't receive a notification from TheFork about our reservation. So it's not their fault that our reservation wasn't valid for them. She asked us to wait for another hour, if we still wanted to dine. With the tone and the way she talked to the customers, I don't think we won't even put our feet there again. Notes: I still have two-star because I'm a nice person."

"A perfect culinary experience combined with a very warm welcome. Being a South American myself, I randomly stopped in front of this little fast food restaurant and was able to taste a spicy marinated chicken burrito. The team prepares the burrito directly on site with only fresh food and original recipes from Latin America. I was expecting a fairly basic dish but surprisingly I was able to enjoy a good dish with Latin flavors. Plus the quantity is perfect, neither too much nor too little. I leave there more than satisfied with my culinary experience. I was also able to chat with the cook and you can feel the passion for cooking when he talks about recipes and knowledge. Making a detour to this little fast food is clearly worth it. Both in terms of price and in terms of quality."

"Tibits was founded from 3 brothers and the founder of Hiltl (oldest vegetarian restaurant) For sure on the same level as Hiltl maybe a bit more mainstream talking about the target customers. The food selection is huge from every region of the world. Well prepared for every meal which is very rare! Almost everything is also vegan. As a vegan you for sure will be happy and satisfied thinking about the very huge variety. Talking about the spot itsel it just beautifully integrated within the main station with huge sealings! Nice atmosphere therefore. Plates are paid by weight. Serving different food for breakfast till 10am. One of the best places across switzerland! Updated from previous review on 2024 04 04"
