Le Rossignol

I have travelled the world extensively over 40 years. I ate at all restaurants ranging from pop & mom’s to Michelin three stars. This is my honest review of the restaurant Le Rossignol in Lausanne, Switzerland. A charming, cosy restaurant just south east of the Federal Court district. The interior is intimate, with only a few tables, nicely decorated and featuring some tasteful artwork. The owner is genuinely warm and welcoming, which immediately sets a positive tone. I tried a game-themed menu, starting with ravioli filled with game meat, served with a sauce full of depth and character. For the main course, the venison was beautifully prepared, accompanied by refined, melt-in-the-mouth sides. I finished with a pear and chocolate dessert, a perfect ending to an excellent meal. The atmosphere was lively and memorable. A group was celebrating a birthday, which brought a festive touch — at one point, music filled the room and some guests even started dancing. It added an unexpected but delightful charm to the evening. Overall, a cosy spot with excellent food, warm service, and a great ambiance. Highly recommended.

Absolutely delicious food, from starter main and desert I can't think of anything bad to say about it. It's set away from the tourist traps so you know it's got to be good to survive. Maria the lovely host guided me through the menu, recommending the best items on the menu and fantastic local wines to pair. Price is on the higher end but worth it in my opinion. If you're after genuine fine food without the snobbery then this is the place. Will be returning as soon as I can!

Absolutely marvelous little bistro in Lausanne!! Creative dishes with a special flare! Such a combination of Artistry and Flavors!! Brilliant! And Mara is a Gem!! 🥰

Amazing food. Just had a "once per year" lobster menu for 80 CHF. Delicious and the owner is extremely friendly.

Despite the location that isn't their best asset, this place is nonetheless very charming. The owners know how to put you at ease, the menu is small but you can guess that all products are fresh and that you won't be disappointed whatever you take. I had the beef as the main course and the chocolate fondant in dessert and everything was mouthwatering. I can only recommand.

Everything was impeccable ! And for a price similar to other boring lausanne restaurants ! 100% recommend

Excellent food with very kind and attentive service

Not only the best pizza and carbonara in town but also the greatest service and nicest people.
