This is place is such a gem! The views are incredible and the food outperforms the views. The wait staff was very attentive and even offered to move us from our table when the sun started to set right into our eyes. I can’t recommend this place any more than I already have. Highly recommend!!!

Excellent views and the food was amazing. Don't be discouraged that it's technically at a rehabilitation hospital, it's totally worth it if you're in the area

Food was good but if youre not a patient this is a depressing place to eat...we also ate basically alone in a brightly lit room...not even the slightest bit romantic

We went there with my family for dinner. The place itself, is fantastic and the view is unbelievable. We were treated exceptionally well by our 2 hosts, Rui and Paolo which were able to guide us through the short but very well done menu. The dishes we discovered were all of a very high quality (bream, cerf, and specially the cray fish). We will come back for sure as both food and service were of a very high quality. Special thanks again to Rui and Paolo for treating us so well.

Excellent view of le Lac Leman, la Savoie with the French Alps and quiet surroundings, the whole crowned by a stupendous sunset.That aside, we didn't find reasons to be overly enthusiastic about the Côté Lac when we visited last Saturday.The Restaurant, part of a "Rehabilitation Clinic" building, is in Glion, on the heights of Montreux, out of the beaten path and kind of isolated.Evenings, particularly on w/ends, are deserted by customers who prefer visiting the place at lunchtime.We were part of 5 to 6 tables out of a total of about 12 to 15 available on the terrace and by 9 PM we were the only customers left.The service was on the slow side considering the few people present, but Yannick, the waiter, overcame that with his kindness & efficiency.The food quality was average. The Menu although interesting is very short. The Filet de Boeuf was the best choice; cooked Rare, as requested.Your wine selection is in line with the Menu, short.Apparently the Management is working on it.READ THE REST ON TRIPADVISOR...
