1820 Restaurant & Cocktails Bar in Lac Léman (VD)

Magnificent service and great value for money. The food was very good, we ordered a fried food, pizza and tiramisu. Perfect and highly recommended.

Very good restaurant that I recommend. Cheap, good and next to the lake.

As someone pointed out, they prefer to hire waiters who don't speak French, instead of taking a girl from the East who knows the French language perfectly. Good luck 🤗

Came for the first time for a friend's 30th birthday: really great restaurant, we had a great time and the service is friendly and impeccable 👍🏼 I will be back.

Mr. Xhevdet served us excellently in the restaurant. His attentiveness and professionalism really made our evening special. We were extremely satisfied with his service.

Great welcome, I had a beef steak which was excellent. A varied menu with lots of different choices. Mr. Liridon welcomed us, he was very helpful. Thanks to him and the entire 1820 team!

Very cosy place excellent food and service.

It was a birthday lunch. The food was great, particularly the succulent sole meuniere and flavourful fusili with calamari and tomatoes. Service was excellent, with good presentation of the food. One of the staff, Mr Liri, skilfully and patiently filleted the sole fish at our table. Highly recommended to people visiting the town of Montreux.

The food was not prepared in 1 hour. Soo….

Great restaurant, a little wait before getting our table but the service and the kitchen more than made up for this little inconvenience! Super good

Very friendly staff (especially with my baby). Fresh and good products, comfortable environment

Very good but too noisy because of poor soundproofing and people on top of each other. Server bordering on polite because we didn't have coffee/dessert due to the noise level.

The first time I came to the restaurant, I really liked everything, but when I made the second visit, I was sent back to a table in a place with a lot of noise, right next to the kitchen area. I didn't find anything I liked from the menu, I told the waiter that I don't eat as a mother and I was sorry. The look I got is indescribable. He mumbled something to himself and I left. I really wanted to go back after the first visit but now I have no desire because of the service I received

In addition to the more than friendly staff, it's good 💪

Terrible experience, to begin with, we are served by three different waiters, who finish their service at that moment, the food arrives wrong, who do you ask for explanations? Conclusion: TERRIBLE service. Meal; We ordered a steak tartare, they brought us three pieces of sliced ​​bread without even toasting them, BAD. The lasagna literally tasted like gas, a taste somewhere between burnt and horrible, the waiters who just entered don't know what to tell us either, so nothing, one more terrible experience and a restaurant removed from our radar. Oh, and to top it off even better, when we finished and paid, they didn't even apologize. What has been said; regrettable.

Nice ambience. Food was quite average, the pasta was not authentic and was quite bland.

Very cute restaurant, just needed a quick bite cause I was starving. Pizza was fresh and good 👍🏼👍🏼

Doesn't deserve a rating of 4, 1 is worth a lot more... Great dishes especially the burger!! Pizza bread and desserts humm. , moreover very beautiful decoration and atmosphere.

The Italian burger was delicious! The servers are also very nice.

Pleasant restaurant, very attentive and friendly service. The food here is definitely price-performance-wise; I haven't had a well-stocked seafood pizza at this price in a long time.

My experience in your restaurant was simply exceptional. The welcome, the service and the quality of the cuisine were top notch. I would like to make a special mention to Corentin for his professionalism. An establishment that I highly recommend.

Our evening in this Restaurant was really good ! Great food and super service from Liri. See you next time !

Beautiful place with delicious meal n absolutely friendly staff!

Lots of smoke, due to the outdoor stove which caught fire, otherwise the burger was better than the lasagna.

I really loved this restaurant. We came with our dog, and straight away they brought us a bowl of water. I took the sea bass fillet. A well-crafted plate, lots of taste, flavor, you can feel the passion in the kitchen. I loved the atmosphere, rather relaxed but with a lot of elegance. Thank you again and see you soon. ✨

My husband and I went at the beginning of the year. Very nice place, welcoming and really friendly staff. They also have vegan alternatives (quite difficult to find in Switzerland)

Just no more room so we ate at the bar.

Very good restaurant. Food was very good. To recommend.

The food is okay but pleasant service that makes you want to come back.

Very friendly staff, pleasant surroundings.

Terrible food. Lasagna came burned and the tuna was very bad, bad fish.

Very courteous staff and food prepared with wholesome ingredients

The 1820 Restaurant in Montreux is a culinary jewel! The burgers and risotto are delicious. The environment is welcoming and the service is excellent. An experience to be fully savored! 🍔🍚

Located on the main street. Price/performance is OK. Nice staff and good food

The pizza was great! And the service is also friendly and dynamic

Service without a smile with staff who do not speak French. Tasteless and bland beef tartare. And the dessert, a horror, dry profiterole, without chocolate sauce (sprinkled with cocoa powder), zero excuses, not a gesture. I wouldn't go back there. Very disapointed.

Abominable waiters, disrespectful manager, infernal slowness, I think we can't do worse in terms of value for money, this restaurant is to be avoided!!!

Food was good, service was shocking. There was no occasion (for us, or anyone around us) the staff in our area heard a request and fulfilled it without fuss. Always a point and “I’m busy, I’ll be back”, as if every customer was an inconvenience. This is for even the most simple requests, like for salt & pepper or a knife. I don’t think they could handle the busy period, it was easily 20 minutes before receiving menus, even longer to order. Near impossible to get attention/service throughout. The complaints I heard from tables around us were met with argument from staff - so unaccommodating. A real shame as the food & drink & location is all good.

Beautiful decor, great atmosphere, efficient service. Top notch kitchen

When we arrive we are put at a table by a waiter. We wait 10 minutes and a waiter takes the order for a table that arrives after us. And when you give the cards to customers we start with the ladies, we teach you this in school. No welcome for me to run away

Yesterday me and my friends went to this restaurant. My sister had reserved the restaurant for 6:30 p.m. to celebrate her birthday. We arrived and were made to wait outside for at least 10 minutes. When we returned the waiter didn't really welcome us, he just showed us to our table. We sat down and waited 10-15 minutes before a waitress came to take our drink orders, at which point the waitress was impatient and rushed us to choose our drinks. Then the time came to order our dishes, our dishes arrived 20 minutes later, on top of that a hair was in the pizza of one of my friends. And every time a staff came to our table we were told “at 8:30 p.m. you have to go out” even though we had not been told anything when making a reservation. We ate and were asked when we were going to leave even though we hadn't ordered dessert. Our dessert then ordered, they sang happy birthday in a forced and unpleasant tone and told us to quickly eat our desserts and go out. We then complained to the manager and he didn't give us time to speak. He was so disrespectful, he cut us off, shouted in our ears. Then another waiter came and told us that we had been warned when booking that at 8:30 p.m. we had to leave, which was false. He told us he had the recordings when we asked to see the recordings he wouldn't show them to us. The service was horrible, we were looked down upon just because we were young girls and I find it shameful of them to argue with young adults and minors, my sister's birthday was ruined. If you are looking for a restaurant in Montreux do not come to this restaurant!!!

It's not just about having an elegant and classy decoration, it's also important to have a similar attitude. I had reserved a place for a birthday dinner at this restaurant at 6:30 p.m. Firstly we were made to wait outside while it was freezing, then even when we said we were booked we were asked to stand outside for another ten minutes. A waiter then accompanied us to our table, and before we could even sit down, we were told that we must leave before 8:30 p.m. With each dish that was served on our table, we were reminded again to leave at 8:30 p.m. This happened even though other couples who had arrived at the same time as us had not received a deadline. Our waiter, every time he passed by our table, looked at his watch and moved around the restaurant shouting, so that we had a headache at the end of the meal. Our pizzas were served half burnt with a hair in them. Once the desserts were placed on the table, we were told to eat them in 5 minutes and leave as quickly as possible. Then we were thrown the bill on the table. When we pointed this out to the manager, he insisted that our 8:30pm departure had been communicated to us when booking, which was absolutely not true, otherwise we would not have gone to eat there. He claimed to have recordings that proved it, but he refused to show them to us. In summary, our anniversary was ruined, we felt like we were just fillers (just there to fill a hole in their booking grid and turnover) rather than respected customers. Additionally, we were called liars. If you want to eat in Montreux, there are several dozen restaurants more respectable than this one.

Very very disappointed with this place. The waiters behaved in a very unpleasant manner. The reception was more than catastrophic, in addition to the lack of respect on the part of certain servers. The slow service was abominable. However, the only positive thing was the interior of the restaurant, everything else needs to be reviewed, in particular, the dishes served with hairs... Yum, very appetizing

Fine cuisine, nice service, good quality and prices!!! Top restaurant

Very nice restaurant with very fine pizzas and spaghetti.

Good food and drink but some staff is unfriendly.

The single star was for the restaurant’s atmosphere. The server was obnoxious and lacked manners when it came to dealing with tourists. Another male employee (with bun) communicated how our tour included a pri fixed lunch with soup or salad. The first server literally barked soup or salad. Maybe this restaurant is only comfortable with Caucasian customers. To ALL Indians visiting, AVOID this restaurant at all costs. The fillet tasted day old and was over cooked, the pizza tasted as if it was undercooked and the pasta tasted like it was microwaved. All in all, I’ve had better hospital food. If you’re white, you will have a better experience!

Nice environment and good service!

Fabulous food. The cheesecake was delicious 😋 so comfortable and relaxing.

This is a very reasonably priced restaurant right in the middle of montreux. The food was great and staff were chatty and helpful and the atmosphere on a Saturday night was great!

Very nice restaurant, friendly staff, well located, fast and tasty food, small menu error regarding the price of a starter, apart from that I would give it 5 stars

I ordered a small salad as a starter. On the card clearly marked 8fr/12fr. (started on the main course). I asked and they said there was no such thing as a small mixed salad 🙈. In short... the waiters were nice enough, but they didn't even ask if I wanted water for my little dog. Little things that make the difference.

Very friendly and attentive. Very well received

The cuisine, I enjoyed the trio of bruschetta, the parmiggiana top but the lasagna not top, review this dish no need to put bean sprouts on it as decoration...the cocktails top.

Bone steak with whisky sauce is super nice👍.highly recommend

If I order warm dishes, they should also be served hot

We found the restaurant quite intimidating because of the staff. It took at least five minutes after we were seated before someone came and gave us the menu books. And by the way, the staff only placed the books on our table and left. The place was understandably busy, so I can forgive the long time it took for our food to be served. So, while waiting, some of us wanted to surf the internet. When we asked one of the staff for the wifi password, the staff kept saying something in French, and it felt like we were bring brushed off. I wanted to ask again, but the staff really seemed preoccupied. Food was good, though. We loved the pizza. The price was really expensive for us, but I guess that's the usual price for such a restaurant. It just hurt to pay that much with the kind of service we received.

Very good dishes! On the other hand, average dessert. Inattentive staff and chain welcome, too bad because the decor is very nice

Delicious food. Best food we’ve had in Switzerland so far. Flavoursome.

Great staff, great place, great cuisine !!!

An exceptional place I ate a Fiorentina that was just excellent. The service is perfect. Super nice staff. Very fast. I highly recommend this establishment.

Very fast and nice service! Always my pleasure!

Very nice restaurant, very nicely decorated and very clean. Top friendly and attentive employees. The food was great, as was the wine, highly recommended, everything was perfect.

Excellent food, atmosphere, and service right by the beautiful lake.

It's a quiet, peaceful place, very clean! Smiling waitress. We had a pleasant time. As for the rest, I cannot give my opinion, because we did not eat.

Our experience at 1890 Trattoria in Montreux was simply lovely. We liked it so much that we visited the restaurant on several occasions. The food was exceptional, with delicious dishes and fresh ingredients. The attention of the waiters was excellent, always attentive and kind. The restaurant is impeccably furnished and maintained, contributing to a pleasant atmosphere. The menu offers a variety of options and the quality of the food is unquestionable. We recommend it 100%! With Italian cuisine, it is impossible to be disappointed!

Excellent restaurant, from the atmosphere, to the dinner, to the service I can only compliment all the staff! We had a burger with fries and a lamb with vegetables and both were delicious and more than filling. Perfect value for money. Thanks so much for the evening!

Nice design and great location, but unfortunately the food and service were just average

We had booked for a birthday but surprise, when we arrived we were not only very unwelcome, but the reservation was not taken into account even though the call was made well a week in advance . The service was excessively long, we had to wait well over an hour to receive our orders. A chaotic service, the waiters as friendly as prison doors and when we expressed our dissatisfaction, we had neither the right to an apology nor a commercial gesture for all the inconveniences caused, we were even told that this didn't wait that long. In conclusion: if you want to eat before 10 p.m., come for 7 p.m. and if you want a smile from the waiters, don't get your hopes up.

I am Korean. It's really delicious. I ordered pasta and steak and it was good. Even though the staff doesn't look good, they are friendly friends. I recommend it. If you ask me to recommend red wine, I'll be happy to give it to you. I like that there is no additional break time.

On our first trip to Montreux, we were recommended this place by our AirBnB host. And we enjoyed our food here. The meal - tasty, the service - very good, the location - perfect!

Disastrous experience. I ordered a Carpaccio, it arrived as hard as a rock because it was still frosty. After pointing this out to the waiter, he tells me that he is having the plate redone. 15 minutes later he comes back with a new plate but I realize that the bottom is lukewarm. When I lifted a few salad leaves I noticed that the meat was very dark and therefore visibly reheated in the microwave. I strongly recommend this place.

Ordered a profiterole and they served it knowingly it was rock hard so they gave me 2 rock hard ones to compensate.. I don’t care if they gave 5 it’s no good if you can’t even eat one. The waiter was a cheerful chap so we called the owner and he said sorry the oven is playing up. And that was it a sorry. Obviously half hearted. I was astonished how knowingly they can serve a dish which deserved the bin. So after accepting it was a piece of stone on a plate they still charged full price which was shockingly rude. Well they can keep the change and be warned of the cheek.

Very friendly service and very good food. We came between lunch and dinner so there was a reduced selection of food on offer. But it was nonetheless really, really good. We liked it, thank you!

Beautiful restaurant and really very good food. Very attentive customer service, in particular the Albanian waiter was really kind, helpful and very professional. Excellent and plentiful gluten-free pasta.

Very pleasant waitresses and waiters, top-notch cuisine.

I ordered a very good pizza with truffle and padano. Good service

Everything excellent. Advised. Be careful with garlic, some dishes have more than they should. Luckily I like it.

Very good food. The prices do not stand out from other restaurants in the area. I ordered risotto.

Very well eaten. The pizza was perfect. Lots of people, staff a little overwhelmed but efficient.

Excellent restaurant! The atmosphere of the place is really nice. I was surprised by the Margherita, one of the best I have eaten… Exemplary quality of service. I really had a good time. Thanks to the whole team.

1 hour 20 minutes of waiting, we still haven't received the entries...

Very nice restaurant in Montreux. The setting is really nice. We arrived just before the kitchen closed but the waiters and waitresses took great care of their customers and were extremely efficient. The plating is impeccable and the dishes delicious! We had a pleasant evening.

Poor service the waiter was a bit rude and made us uncomfortable and the food was late

Super restaurant, cuisine top, pizza top, table et chaise top,

A very nice restaurant in a great location. 20 minutes until you get the coffee (restaurant wasn't half full) and asked for payment twice...at the prices, that's not possible!!! Bad service. Not a second time!

It's too expensive for what it serves, I wouldn't go back. We ate spaguetti carbonara, pizza, lasagna and risotto. Everything was ok, nothing major. It's not worth the investment. Standard Montreux service, nothing exceptional. Nice ambient music, beautiful and friendly place in general. Well located. Restaurant was not full and the food took a long time to arrive. At least there's food all day, the kitchen doesn't close!

The food was good, the setting nice and the service pretty good. I liked the lamb shank and the tuna tataki. The service was a little slow and lacked a little warmth. Too bad the strawberry mojito didn't taste like strawberries.

My favorite restaurant in Montreux! The dishes are delicious, the service is top notch and the prices are reasonable! I highly recommend !

34 francs for a tartare and a fries, nothing else. Meat + fries, that's it. Not even a small salad to accompany it all. I won't tell you the face of the empty plate.

Great food - very friendly - highly recommended

If you have to choose between eating here or starving, die

Nice cocktails, generous amount of alcohol unlike some places. Good location just took a bit of time with a lot of people present and during the Montreux Jazz

We were turned away from the restaurant at 11:20am. We're supposed to come back in 20 minutes. So done. When we sat down we were given the menu cards to choose from. We were all alone in the restaurant and had long since made our choice. The waiters, however, sat together and ignored our hand signals. After waiting for 20-25 minutes we got up and left. Very uncomfortable.

Good food and drinks. Had pizza and pasta. But the terrible and slow service ruined the experience. The waitress was blatantly rude. Would not recommend unless you can put up with bad service.

Really nice place to enjoy drinks, food and vibe. Vegetarian options are also available. One of those experiences where the server leaves a very nice impression on you. Great experience

One star deducted for the ambience because the loud music and the loud staff were really too much. At the table we could almost only talk shouting. But the food!!!!! Fantastic...if you're in Montreux, go there...

Amazing pizza and even better chilli oil.its an amazing place :)

I recommend the TomaHawk it’s super good. It's beef. Otherwise it’s a classy restaurant. Everything is perfect. I have never been disappointed.

Excellent ! Quality cuisine and friendly staff.
