"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."

Came here for lunch. A little hard to find as you have to go up from the open area near the museum. Food was good, service was at best okay and that might be generous.

The music is good, the atmosphere is good, the coffee is good, the staff are very friendly and I saw young people enjoying hamburgers which looked very good. In addition to this there is a beautiful terrace.

beautiful atmosphere and excellent burger. cozy place from the beaten tracks with a beautiful terrace opposite riponne market. only negative point, there are many more smokers on the terrace. burgers are excellent with fresh juicy meat and self-made kartoffeln scheibenfries instead of the usual hair...Fries they find students meeting families with high net worth single persons and rare tourist.

"Au Charbon is family managed restaurant, set in a pleasant and quiet part of Lausanne, easily reached on the bus, if like me, you are touring. The restaurant is ‘cosy’ and the owners have maximised the number of seats available, which sounds like me...spinning a cramped venue but it actually works out okay. We had sufficient room to relax and eat without imposing on our neighbouring tables, so the efficient spacing added to the atmosphere and the wine waiter added character. The restaurant has a traditional pizzeria menu with no surprises with the choice of pizza, steaks etc. All our choices were well presented, cooked exactly to request and delicious. Portion sizes were just right too On the down side, the table service was very slow, it took around an hour for the first course and one dish was wrong when it eventually arrived but we put that down to being busy. The lady serving was also a bit too presumptuous that the change from the bill would be her tip and she didn’t return the change, eventually coming back to confirm if this was so. In summary, I enjoyed my meal and time at Au Charbon, they seem to have earned their reputation from being consistent in serving nicely presented dishes that are cooked well. The higher end options are a bit on the pricey side if you are on holiday, especially when considering this is a pizzeria (a steak costing CHF). However most restaurants of this type in Lausanne are similarly priced and it is what it is."
