"As a lover of good local local food, travel and Rick Stein, I look forward to the return of Rick Steins “Long Weekends”, whereby he travels to European cities exploring their culinary delights in the process. He has yet to visit Lausanne, but I will be urging him to do so. With regular flights from the UK and many European cities to Geneva, which is a short 60km east along beautiful Lake Geneva, under an hour by train. Lausanne feels much more Swiss than Geneva, nestled along the banks of the beautiful lake, often described as the Swiss Riviera, it is home to the IOC, International Olympic Committee, responsible for organising the summer and winter Olympic Games. The old city with its gothic cathedral and winding cobble streets is the perfect location to explore with its colourful buildings, shops and restaurants. Whist using the spa the the Royal Savoy Hotel, a perfect place to spoil yourself whilst in Lausanne, I spoke with a local who recommended his friends restaurant if I wanted to sample authentic Swiss cuisine. He even booked a table there for myself and my sons that evening. Cafe du Grütli is a charming, traditional Swiss restaurant, which would definitely feature in a Long Weekend programme if ever Rick Stein visited Lausanne. With its local charm, including characters, singing and a warm welcome from Willy the owner, alongside antique furniture and gondolas outside the setting in one of the oldest parts of the city is as inviting as the warm lights from the windows. Swiss food is heavily influenced by its alpine geography and its neighbouring counties. Fondue, Rosti and Sausage are all available alongside schnitzels, with local salad and a variety of local deserts. I chose the Wiener schnitzel with rice , followed by Swiss chocolate mouse with raspberries, while my sons chose veal with mushrooms and cream with fries, followed by apple tart. The meal was first class; tasty, shallow fried in peanut oil, with a crunchy batter with tender and flavourful meat. I could eat this every I would not be disappointed! Cafe du Grütli is a destination in itself when in Lausanne."

A little noisy, but nice. The price of the Grutli fondue is a little high but still very good.

It was Friday and I was scared that we would not find place, I called on 6:30 and they had a table. The staff was polite, we were served really quickly and it was delicious

Very nice coffee with local flavor. The fondue and the dried meat platter were just perfect. The atmosphere is very nice and the service very pleasant. We don't worry. In short, a place to enjoy Swiss food and wine. To discover

Meal with friends (9 people). Hunting menu at CHF 71/person, let's just say that we feel that we are in the center of Lausanne. High prices for minimum quantity. Top quality meat. Menu without dessert... rarely seen. Slate over CHF 1000, digestive or coffee not offered. The service is great, but managers not sales. Prices too high.

Excellent service. The place was packed and we'd missed the first round of seating, so we waited for a table to clear. The staff treated us like family they were so kind while we waited. We had an assortment of dishes, including fondue all were fantastic. Looked like there were a few large parties, so the place can obviously accommodate them even though it's not very big. Ambience is exactly like the photo warm and friendly.

Family meal, small noisy restaurant. Half and half fondue at 30chf per person a little expensive, meringue dessert with gruyere cream at 13chf it's excessive especially for a small pot of cream. Responsible by the whole trader because he makes a mistake on the bill and asks you for 10chf when you left a bill of 255 CHF for four people, he is offered a 10 euro note and he wants to apply the shameful change. No coffee offered even an egg at the end of the fondue is charged They gorge themselves on the backs of tourists I strongly advise against

"Il y a autant de variétés de pizza et de type locaux qu'il y a diversités culturelles en Italie.Ici elles sont fines, moyennes, au fond biscuité, probablement du type des Pouilles, je ne suis pas expert, demandez au patron. La pizza que j'ai mangé était bonne, le salami dessus délicieux. Personnellement je préfère les pizza très fine non huilée ou plus épaisse avec...., mais ça c'est qu'une question de goût.... ma che c.. vuoi?!!L'entrée au Gambas et avocat citron (ou lime?), coriandre.... est vraiment magnifique (attention toutefois à votre porte-monnaie!) et le tiramisu également.C'est une pizzeria du quartier, qui a gardé l'authenticité des pizzerie d'Italie très présentes dans les années 80 à Lausanne, ceci malgré la crise et aujourd'hui la concurrence d'une surpopulation de nouveaux restaurants qui se greffent à 10 mètres de vous et ne durent pas longtemps, juste l'histoire de bousculer ceux qui sont déjà en place,sans que la police du commerce ne daigne intervenir! La multiplicité entraîne la baisse de qualité!Revenons au CharbonEn résumé, la cuisine est bonne voir excellente, le personnel est très sympathique, le service rapide et très bien coordonné, le patron a de l'humour. Des restaurants authentique et vintage de ce style sont de plus en plus rares. Ah j'oubliais! La terrasse, au soleil jusqu'à 6h30 depuis début avril pour le café et le soir quand la circulation diminue est un vrai régal avec vue sur la quartier."
