The setting is fun - little chalet crunched up against a building, quite unexpected. The waitresses and cooks are all first generation vietnamese, so I was really looking forward to authentic vietnamese cuisine. However, I was pretty disappointed. The pho had too strong a cinnamon taste, my pork chops were unremarkable, my daughter's beef satay had paper thin shreds of... More

One of the best Asian restaurants in Lausanne. Family style. Great portions. Smiling service. But if you go during peak times, be prepared to wait - a lot - for everything from the menu, to being served! Still, highly recommended. 4 stars instead of 5 because they could really hire an extra person to take care of the delayed service... More

Frankly I wonder why people choose this restaurant. I’ m living in Lausanne and decided to give it a try again, after I read some good critics on Trip Advisor. My first visit some years ago was disappointing and so was my second! The starter, green Papaya salad for 17 francs, was far too expensive. Little Papaya and lots of... More

We read some good reviews, and were hoping to find somewhat reasonable prices, though this is a tall order in Lausanne. The food was very good- authentic Vietnamese, freshly prepared, with great flavours. Prices were higher than we expected- We payed 35 CHF/person, without alcohol. In an interesting location north of the old town, actually felt a bit like Vietnam!

The Dalat is a rather small restaurant hidden away in the former industrial area in the north of Place du Nord. Approaching it, one might easily mistake it for a swiss equivalent of a corner pub, frequented by locals, but the appearance is misleading. The interior clearly shows a rather swiss history, but it has been decorated nicely with vietnamese... More

One of the best restaurant I know. The place is a bit small so if you want to go in the evening it's better to reserve your table, but during lunchtime no probleme with place. The owner is really funny and atmosphere is nice to, so you will enjoy your stay. I had a beff with citrolella sauce, had to... More

The best and most authentic Vietnamese restaurant in the area. Also pretty reasonably priced. Located in the highs of Lausanne, in a wood chalet, the setting is not extraordinary, the waiter has a distinctive strange sense of humour, but the food is just delicious! We keep going back there to enjoy this authentic place. Take-away also. You will need to... More

This is absolutely unique place... The owner is a French guy married with a Vietnamese lady. They use real ingredients from Viet Nam. Always warm welcome, the food is really excellent. The place is unique, an old chalet... would just deserve to be refreshed, but probably there is no budget for that. Probably the best Asian in the area and... More

I've been there for lunch once, the owner are very friendly, but the most interesting about this place is that the vietnam beef white noodle soup is very delicious. Looking forward to come here again in the near future.
