Hôtel Restaurant de la Plage

The best filets de perche in the world. The sauce is just exquisite and really pleases the palet with hints of perfection. The waiters are nice, the food arrived quickly and the two-service offer is just amazing !! You get to eat filets de perche TWO TIMES with the two different sidings. Of course, with such deliciousness comes a price but it's definitely worth it. We'll come back.

Already on the phone, when making the reservation, the person taking the call ( manager or owner) behaved in a grumpy, bolshy way. “ We are not open yet..!… opening at 7. “ “ Ok. We will then come at 7.”His stupid response was: “But if everybody comes at 7!?” ( S.i.c.!) His attitude was one of a complete lack of customer orientation! Subsequently when we arrived at the restaurant, contrary to what is publicized on this commerce’s website, already the reception by the manager ( gérant ) , a certain Tertuz , was unpleasant. On our arrival he did not greet us just walked past giving us a grumpy, unpleasant look. One is reminded of the old Chinese proverb which says that “ He, who can not smile , should not keep a shop.” Certainly that person should be working in a warehouse, putting wares on a shelf but avoiding any interaction with customers! The « service » was extremely slow and unprofessional, mostly by untrained “ food and drink carriers”, as one certainly can not call them “waiters”! The Tonic water was brought without ice cubes. When asking for them , the server was mumbling something out of place why “ they don’t bring ice cubes”! As if his stupid reply would interest anybody! The main dishes ( filets de perches) were not served for a long time. Finally after a long waiting time, we caught the attention of a female server and have lodged a complaint. Some time after that we were served the main dishes but the food carrier has forgotten the “ sauce tartare” which came with the dish. He muttered that he will bring it . But he just disappeared and never brought the sauce. Finally , already well into the meal, eating the dry filets without sauce in order to avoid them getting cold, again after some time, we could catch the attention of the lady server mentioned above and complained about the sauce missing. Which, after some time, she brought. To sum up, the “ service” was extremely poor! This place is run as a student cantine and the prices are too high for what is offered! One is inclined to call it a rip-off! It’ s a sign of the manager’s/ owner’s purely pecuniary orientation instead of a customer orientation ! The Manager / owner justly reminds one of Farquaad out of a Disney film! I will certainly never go back to this place!

RESTAURANT Review: Amazing location facing the lake with convenient access to the Plage de Gland for an after-meal stroll. In my most recent visit: Staff were efficient and welcoming, I had the Duo de Perche which was amazing. In previous visits: I've had slow service, but the staff has never been rude to me. It also seems like the price has increased over the years, BUT the food has been consistently great.

The view is wonderful and like most area restaurants, it’s pricey, but here you get more than average. Excellent perch. Good flavors. Ample portions. The service was on point. The wine was fine. One of the best, if not the best, restaurants in Gland.

Though expensive, the food was excellent. The hotel was very basic with shared gangway toilets which is more the standard of a youth hostel rather than a hotel. Based on this I would say it was somewhat overpriced. One good thing is the direct access to the sea.

Excellent filets de perches. Some of the best I've had. Home-made wine sauce is delicious. Beautiful view overlooking the lake. Recommend booking a table in the garden section to enjoy the view as close as possible to the lake. Service very nice. Parking easily nearby.

The restaurant served good food but the prices were quite high. We ordered a 5dl bottle of wine at 22 CHF but we were charged 39 CHF on the bill, a discrepancy that we noticed later. When we called the restaurant to adress the issue, the person on the phone disconnected the call twice, which was disappointing. Good food, but because of this experience we won't come back.

Warm and friendly! Their famous dish "Fillet de perche" was brilliant as usual, glad to choose the double sized version. Nice chat with the restaurant owner. Despite of that, he refused to disclose the recipe, by mentioning it is linked with the ownership of the premises and this is not something he wants to change, unless we make an offer that cannot be refused... Think I heard this quote in a movie 😎 ...Happy to go back there every now and then, even we are living in Geneva, some 40km away..
