L'esquisse - Lausanne

Here we had one of the best steak in Lausanne. Definitely we will go again

We enjoyed the brunch, an incredible setting Just the coffee was average But we recommend without hesitation! That was delicious

Small restaurant associated with the Hermitage art museum, They serve simple but honest food with brunch on Saturdays and Sundays when the art loving BoBo's from Lausanne and its region visit the museum. Usually brunches permit the participants to chose freely from a buffet, here you pay for each dish and this may add up to a considerable amount of money, in particular for a family. The terrace is lovely when the weather is nice and you have a view over the cathedral, the lake and the alps. The children can use a nearby playground. Not particularly good value for money.

The vibe and park around are nice. The waiters are attentive. On the downside, the brunches are over around 12:00 (when we arrived), and only cold dishes and raw meats were served. Had one ceviche and beef tartare both of which tastes very average. Everything was served beautifully but you could tell they are all coming from the fridge to reduce serving time. Nothing was freshly made! The chairs were not super comfortable. The prices considering the cold serving of the dishes and their tastes were too expensive. I would think two times before going there if I don’t mind the expense.

By far one the best brunch places in Lausanne. There are few choices on the brunch menu, but the quality is very high. I did enjoy my cappuccino, with a super nice presentation, and my sweet pancakes. I've also tried bacon and eggs and the bacon was just delicious. They serve mainly local products which make this place an A+ site. The view from the Hermitage over Lausanne is breathtaking.
