Really enjoyed our meal here! The seafood was fresh and tasty - our favourites were the shrimps and Fine de Claire oysters. The rump steak was also delicious. We came here for our wedding anniversary and the ambience was nice - we were able to enjoy our conversation and the food.

Fine dining with a refreshing zing In a beautiful setting of urban chic, Gilberto and Tiago propose a menu that is inventive, sophisticated without being pretentious, and that will appeal to meat lovers and seafood connaisseurs alike. All the dishes we ordered were delicious, made even more special by the advice on wines by Nicolas from a fabulously varied list. We loved discovering this refreshing new venture in Lausanne, which we highly recommend.

Amazing seafood restaurant in Lausanne - probably the best quality of seafood I have experienced here. The concept, ambiance and service is very good & the food is prepared very well, tasty and generous portions! Would highly recommend

The food was good and quite refined, but the service felt a bit chaotic. The restaurant is extremely noisy — you really have to raise your voice to be heard, which made it difficult for the business meal we had planned. Although the dishes were well thought out, the service lacked consistency, with some tables arriving after us being served before. Overall, a decent experience, but room for improvement.

This IS my new favorite restaurant in Lausanne. Absolutely delicious. The limousine steak was the best steak I’ve had in a long time. Staff was great, atmosphere is chill. Highly recommend- even if you’re not a fan of seafood their other dishes are worth going for.
