"We were booked as a party of 16 and everything was absolutely amazing!! We sat upstairs next to another large party and the atmosphere was brilliant. The staff were funny, polite, efficient and even theatrical as one waiter spun another a full pint glass without spilling a drop! The fondue was the best I’ve ever had and the wine list is extensive, we were even given a round of limoncello on the house! It felt like a true Swiss dining experience and I really hope to return one day!"

The food, from starters to main courses, was incredibly delicious, and the desserts were simply delightful. Every bite was a burst of flavor that left us wanting more. What made the experience even more special was the breathtaking lake view from the restaurant. It added a sense of tranquility and beauty to our meal, creating a truly memorable atmosphere. Whether you're planning a family lunch or dinner, this restaurant is an excellent option that won't break the bank. They offer a variety of dishes that cater to different tastes, making it easy to find something for everyone. The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a family gathering. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that our needs were met throughout our visit. We left the restaurant with satisfied bellies and happy hearts. If you're looking for a place to enjoy delicious food, mouthwatering desserts, and a stunning lake view, all while staying within a reasonable budget, I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try.

"We had an excellent candlelight dinner at this cozy/intimate restaurant. The fondue with bread was delicious, but the highlight was the perch with a delicious, creamy lemon parsley sauce. It came with fries and mixed vegetables. Our waiter was busy but everything came out timely, and he was very attentive with our child and brought out a coloring mat with markers to help keep her entertained. When we first walked in, we had to wait several minutes to be greeted but we were warmly welcomed despite not having a reservation. There was a party that came in and had a similar experience but left before anyone could greet them. I noticed this on some of the reviews but I am glad this did not deter us from trying Vieil Ouchy, as it was an excellent meal and experience! We are even planning to return again during our stay, as they had several dishes we wanted to try but didn’t get the chance to"

"I absolutely loved Vieil Ouchy. Charming restaurant, full of atmosphere. Local diners; delicious Swiss / French cuisine and polite, gracious service. I started with the escargot, followed by an absolutely superb dish of fresh grilled perch, caught that day in Lake Geneva. I finished the meal with a delicious apple tart. All in all, Vieil Ouchy was a complete delight…."

"We went there for dinner and ordered fondue. We got the classic one and the mustard one, both of them very tasty, especially the latter. The place is nice and cozy inside with typical decotarions. It also offers few tables outside and it's very close to the lake. Overall nice experience and for sure one of the best fondue we had in Lausanne. Special mention to the fact that they treated my celiac disease with care: fondue was served only with potatoes and they payed attention to cross contamination. Moreover, we managed to get also a gluten free dessert."

"We had a great dining experience at this restaurant. Especially cheese fondue is simply amazing. It’s a must try definitely. There was rain when we got there so we went inside. The interior is cosy but a bit dark. But at the end, I recommend this restaurant"
