Great atmosphere, very busy every night so do book. Good variety of food, and the plates we had were well presented and very tasty. Service friendly and reasonable quick for the number of people eating. Would recommend the pasta and the veal.

Le Café de Grancy is a Lausanne institution, run by creative baby boomers for the IT crowd. Whether for breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea or dinner, this place is THE place. Food is always fresh and of good quality, simple, yet sophisticatedly. Service is wonderful, even when the Café is packed. Prices are reasonable. Mid-morning or mid-afternoon, you can work,... More

We have made Cafe de Grancy a part of our regular rotation in Lausanne. Always very good food and a casual, comfortable environment. The risotto is my personal favorite and they have some nice wines by the glass at reasonable prices.

I went there because everybody keeps talking about it being really famous place! It was only 1 min walk from the exit(side of Ouchy) from the station. As it was very busy on weekend and they did not take reservation, we had to wait to find a spot and it took forever for the waitress to notice us, but it's... More

This is the first place we came across to get a drink while walking from train station towards the Lake. It looks like a nice place to grab a drink and snack from the outside and the inside is nice too. The first time we went there we were acknowledged pretty quick and then the waiter came by shortly after... More

Nice place with friendly environment for kids also..small library with kid's books and toys for the little ones..nice plates for snacks and great salads.. What needs improvement? Stuff must respect that not all guests speak French..is not a big deal to be more open to non-speaking French guests..So i ask the stuff not to get upset if someone orders in... More

I tried the monthly vegetarian event and it was such a great experience. Nice and complet menu during the monthly events can make you feeling a delicious night; otherwise, during normal days, the service is okay and the offer fine. Just a suggestion: go early if you want to go for a drink... There's not so much space.

Usually very busy - lot's of young students. Located very near to the central station. Good food and wine selection. Would return.

Tried to have lunch here on my first day in Lausanne, but their kitchen is closed mid-afternoon (they only serve lunch and dinner, but nothing in between). But the waiter was very friendly and recommended another place I could go - so I came back for breakfast the next day. Nice cozy place where you can relax with a cup... More
