10/10Third time this week for dinner at Le Vieil Ouchy. I wish we had a fourth night on this trip. Everything is wonderful and we are so happy to have found them.

8.5/10It was good, just pricey for the overall experience. Great scenery right on the water

6.5/10The manager could not find my reservation. After showing him my confirmation, he still placed us right in front of the door when there were many empty tables in the restaurant.

10/10Merci for a lovely, relaxed lunch in your cosy restaurant. The fondue was delicious. We appreciated being offered an English menu, the server was prepared for everything. Friday lunchtime was busy, I recommend reserving your table

4/10It used to be good but no longer is. Good just seems to be thrown together with no care.

5.5/10A very unpleasant person took care of us (2 people) on Saturday night. Insisted that we sit outside even though we had a booking and wanted to sit indoors. He replied that we should consider ourselves lucky enough to get a table. When we asked for advice on what to eat we got a dismissive reply. We started to feel unwelcome, ordered a bottle of wine and the same man came back and said 'we have a problem' and that the wine was not available. We felt we should have dinner somewhere else and informed him, he then kind of ousted us out. Very unpleasant experience, could not rate the food since we did not eat there. That is really too bad because we wanted to have dinner there and the setting looked very nice (indoor, many insects outside).

10/10We were very excited to find this little restaurant and try their fondue. The food and wine were terrific and the ambiance was charming. Multiple staff took care of us and we’re very kind and attentive. It’s proximity to the lake is an added bonus. Would recommend!

6/10Touristic place but the food is ok. Service is very long especially when you need to pay. I would not recommend but if you really wants to eat a fondue when you visit Lausanne you can consider it

9/10We ordered 4 different fondues, the quinoa salad and a few additional dishes. The food was incredible. The server forgot our two bruschetta orders but he was very nice to us so we weren’t that upset. Great location and amazing food!

9.5/10We had seating outside. Good authentic and delicious. Sizes large so ideal for sharing. Service surprisingly excellent as restaurant was full and only 2 servers.

5.5/10It was obviously busy and staff were stressed but tried to be as attentive as possible. Atmosphere was good. Fondue was good but the "Filets de Perches" were awful. Fish was hard and tasteless and the French fries were soggy and cold. I would have sent them back had we not been invited to the restaurant by our friend. Overall disappointing and won't return.

6.5/10Food was ok and atmosphere was ok until the very end. We asked for the check and wanted to pay by card, they owner said their machine didn’t work and ask for cash. The table next to us just paid with card a few minutes before. I told them I don’t have cash and after a back and forth he brought the machine and worked perfectly. He also wanted to be paid in Euro and it was going to be 15 extra Euros. Didn’t like that trick at all! Very disappointing

8.5/10Very nice historic place by the lake; classic fondue and some variations are the signature dishes. Great atmosphere, maybe a little loud but not disturbing. Wine prices are excessive….but this is Switzerland.

10/10The food was authentic and amazing and served by local folks. Rick Steve's was right / it's small, traditional and cozy and out of place with the touristy spots next door. A hidden gem and good price point

10/10Very nice and cozy. Excellent food and the staff is very friendly and competent. The location is also very good, in an old rustic building, nice music. Reserve in advance.

5.5/10This little restaurant had a very nice Swiss ambiance. The food was very tasty. However the service wasn’t very friendly. I was speaking in French and I let him know that my French is not the best. If I wouldn’t understand something and I’d ask for him to repeat he would make a bad face and be rude. He was not very friendly with us throughout the whole evening. Which was very unpleasant.
