Café-Restaurant A la Valsainte in Lac Léman (VD)

Good value for money, good service

Extraordinary old-fashioned café-restaurant, with a very good menu of simple but very tasty dishes. With 3 or even 4 daily specials. I recommend you here in Vevey

To help out it’s good 👍 It’s one of the last places where you can eat Switzerland with regional dishes.

I organized a company meal and everything was perfect! Atmosphere, dishes, service, thank you for this wonderful welcome! We loved the bowling/apero game just before the meal!

Excellent brasserie cuisine. And the staff takes great care.

Delicious lake perch fillets, also fries! I like the bistro atmosphere

Pleasant reception, good home cooking and excellent service. Friendly moment shared between friends, to be repeated...

Great little brasserie restaurant! The food is very tasty there ! The menu is varied and everything is good and value for money is great! There is something for every taste and for every budget. I've been there 4 to 5 times and I'm going to go back for sure! There should be more restaurants like this! THANKS

Very good fondue (Cheese & Meat), good price/quality ratio and the service is great. You can play some old school Bowling in the back of the restaurant.

Nice menu card. Very pleasant service. We had a good evening.

Good morning, I was looking forward to returning to Valsainte and we were very disappointed. Our friends having booked with the gourmet passport...we really felt the difference in treatment...we were served after all the people who arrived after us...the portions had a homeopathic air...after ordering wine and drinks we asked for a carafe of water which was refused by the young waiter who did not hesitate to tell us that we had the privilege of having the gourmet passport (so apparently not entitled to a carafe). They should not forget that they have the privilege of having customers...despite the unpleasant comments. It's a real shame because I had better memories of this restaurant during my previous visit.

A restaurant with succulent brasserie dishes, the kidneys are extraordinary, a divine treat, I loved it! Very nice wine list from the region, friendly and efficient service, absolutely recommended.

It's still the best (and obviously people know about it)

Magnificent Saint Martin meal and served very hot and very good, excellent dessert Thank you

We loved it, and the food was excellent, looking forward to next time...

Delicious typical Swiss food. Good choice of dises. We had game specialties. The meat was very tender, the spätzli was crunchy and buttery. The prices were quite high but well worth the meal which was completely home made.

The Lake Geneva perch fillets were delicious and the homemade fries were a treat. We will return.

A must-see place in Vevey, an institution! The traditional dishes are excellent and cooked with good products. Ps: pig’s trotters are terrible :)

Very good address, one of the oldest restaurants in Vevey, if not the oldest, careful presentation, copious portions, obviously a lot of fresh produce, to recommend without restrictions

Excellent cordon bleu and rosemary and saffron ice creams are a great discovery

We were once again received like kings with our group! Fast service, little touches and excellent value for money! We look forward to coming back in the fall for the hunting card!

A little hidden gem in Vevey A happy marriage between a vintage Vaudois bistro and a Lyonnais cork, this generous restaurant waltzes between local specialties, brasserie dishes and old-fashioned dishes. Located in the historic district, this venerable brand is among the oldest in Vevey. And let it be said, Valsainte watches over its authentic bowling game jealously! In addition, it is one of the restaurants labeled “homemade”

I didn't know this establishment. Friendly, excellent staff, the menu offers a nice choice. At this location, a traditional bowling game is still in use. This entertainment is becoming very rare in the canton. As far as value for money is concerned, it is correct. 👍👍👍

We came today as a family, 4 adults and a baby. Impeccable service, (the chef's mother). The place is full of history. The MAGNIFICENT cuisine, old brasserie dishes but presented in a modern and refined way, with tastes and flavors of yesteryear.... The menu for the little one, real nugets from the chef with REAL fries.

Very good lake perch fillets served with small homemade fries.

Salad+Dish of the day+coffee for a more than reasonable price.

Nice discovery with the PG, delicious cuisine, a pleasure for gourmets.

Traditional and typical cuisine. A treat for offal lovers. Local and French wines, top desserts. A must-see restaurant in Vevey.

I only have one regret, that of not being able to taste the beef tongue... But the kidneys made up for it! Madeira sauce... we would sell father and mother to get more! The rosti is delicious. As for fish, the pike was really delicious, to die for according to my wife (perfectly well-removed). At one point, I rediscovered an old taste that made my taste buds tingle as an Alsatian child. A journey through time and into the culinary pleasures that we find so difficult to satisfy these days. When you like offal you have to go for it. The service is lovely, the food is fantastic. We loved it !

My mom worked in this café in 1948 and that's where she met my dad and I wanted to show this place to my nephew from England

We wanted to organize an outing as part of our work with a group of elderly people. We called the restaurant last week to obtain a quote and a proposal for two choice menus... Without hearing from them, a week later, we contacted them again: surprised to know that the chef is "too busy" to make us get a simple quote for 10 people... On the phone, we offer to speak directly with the chef to organize things, but we are told that he is always "too busy"... We then tell them that we are going to head to another restaurant and they do not offer us a solution and do not seem invested in our request. Unwelcoming staff on the phone, we do not recommend. Damage.

A warm welcome from the staff and a wonderfully served daily menu! Thank you for your generosity. I recommend 😉

Friendly pint of Vaudois, local cuisine, generous portion at reasonable prices. The decoration is a little dated but that's part of the charm of the place.

A good selection of dishes and drinks. We ate very well and the service was very nice and competent. Gladly again soon!

The oldest restaurant in Vevey, home cooking, lovely brasserie dishes (kidneys, tripe, beef tongue, etc.), good value for money.

Great restaurant! With brasserie dishes but not only that. There is something for everyone 🤩

Great place! Beautiful seasonal menu! I highly recommend Top!

Excellent cuisine, ok prices, good atmosphere, the menu has plenty of specialties, such as pig's trotters, blood sausage, snail, calf's head, Neuchâtel-style tripe, etc.

Pleasant restaurant but nothing more. I ate a very good cordon bleu with a good sauce. Little better on the presentation of the dish, the cordon bleu was gobbling up in this good sauce. Put a little less sauce on the plate and put the sauce in a small sauce boat next to it, the presentation would have been better, we also eat with our eyes.

Very well received. Very good cuisine well done hot plates thank you see you soon!!!

One of my favourite restaurant in Vevey

An authentic place and excellent cuisine, not to be missed! I can only recommend this restaurant. Very pleasant welcome, smiling staff and authentic cuisine. I particularly recommend the perch fillets or the Viennese veal escalope.

One of the last authentic restaurants in Vevey, the hunting is particularly tasty there, in season

I have rarely eaten such delicious homemade spätzli! The deer cheek is tender as can be and the venison steak cooked to perfection! And I’m not talking about the little pears poached in red wine! We are delighted with our visit to Valsainte!

Beautiful, affordable brasserie menu. Place full of charm. Nice staff. What could be better.

Very nice place, fair price, very friendly waitresses.

Very good restaurant with good dishes well served or there is enough on the plate. We ate really well and even though we came late, quality service! To recommend !

Excellent röstis, old-fashioned veal kidneys as well. However, the quantity has decreased slightly.

Traditionalism in the literal sense, this restaurant/brewery offers you good quality dishes, cooked with great tenderness. However, the menu would be much more suitable for fans of canteen cuisine.

The food was great! Gladly again

Neighborhood brasserie with unmissable dishes!

Good restaurant, friendly welcome and the food was quite good (we ate a fondue and red meat) slight downside the foie gras was cooked even though it was not marked on the menu.

What a very typical village bistro place, but with a huge surprise in the varied dishes and all excellent! There were 4 of us and we were all "disappointed in a good way" as they say here ;) Plus a very nice atmosphere with an attentive and friendly waitress! To recommend without hesitation. I will return there with great pleasure.

Superb restaurant which still offers perfectly prepared local dishes. Top 👍🏻

Great restaurant quality and price and service I recommend

Unique menu and delicious dishes. Decent service. It’s a shame that the reception with the Passeport Gourmant was so cold.

Excellent perch fillets from Lake Geneva and the bowling is great fun. I recommend!

Very good food, they make super good dishes.

Friendly staff and excellent perch fillets!

Very warm welcome as if we were family. Very tasty and homemade dish and you will find all these good dishes of yesteryear an incredibly good Cafe de Paris butter Very fair price Go there you won't regret

I came a little over a month ago with my fiancé and we had a great time. He ordered game and I ordered fillets of perch meunières... A real delight!

Although we are used to this mythical place in Vevey, this is the first time we have tried hunting in this establishment. What a nice surprise ! Delicious and generous dishes coupled with attentive staff! :) Go there with your eyes closed! 😊

It's always a pleasure to eat in this place!

Very friendly waitress. Very grilled roesti, average papet, fairly long kitchen service time, improvements need to be made.

Small typical restaurant, full of charm. Perfect welcome, friendly and smiling staff. Good address for hunting dishes.

Simple setting but Leman perch fillets... Rare enough to note it

Very friendly service, pleasant neighborhood brasserie atmosphere. The venison entrecote was good and the cordon bleu as well. On the other hand, disappointment. Out of 3 portions of fries, we weren't able to find a crispy fry. The beef tartare was really chopped too fine, giving the impression of mashed meat which was not very pleasant. The Mediterranean burger filled with hummus is surprising when it is not announced on the menu. My opinion is that you should favor brasserie dishes, it's a safe bet and you won't be disappointed!

Friendly waitress, but the meal really wasn't good. We had the shallot tab, fries and salad. The meat, real sole and the sauce had pieces of raw shallot. As for the fries, they were burnt and cold. To top it off, we're still waiting for the salad as a starter. High price considering the quality. Restaurant to avoid ☹👎

Welcome, cuisine and location always at the top. The staff listens. I recommend with your eyes closed.

Authentic, welcoming. The decor is not the most artistic but you feel comfortable there. The waitresses make you feel welcome. A very varied menu with dishes that are not only traditional. For small appetites you can have a choice. Naturally we choose well-known dishes, fondue in particular. Rare is the possibility of accompanying fondue and cheese dishes with pickles and small onions. Creativity too: the bread is very original and excellent. Let's move on to the homemade fondue, for once probably 100% Gruyère. Excellent and without excess starch. The wines are of good choice and at very fair prices: a bottle of Cure d'Attalens, a reference, for Chf 42, speaking of menu prices they are very reasonable and of excellent quality, compliment to the chef! The service, I'll come back to that. Is efficient and friendly. See you soon, because I will come back. THANKS

Amazing ! Everything I look for in a restaurant. Succulent homemade dishes. A caring staff. I encourage you to discover this very Swiss place.

Good address. Lake perch fillets well served with homemade fries. Good brasserie menu. Visit with the gourmet passport. An address to remember to come and taste brasserie dishes.

Excellent perch fillets from Lake Geneva. Very well served with fries and salad. Really great welcome! friendly staff. Truly a must!

Brewery products and specialties make it a must in Vevey. Never disappointed!

very good perch fillets. Very cool staff.

Delicious local cuisine or original burger. Neighborhood atmosphere.

Repas quelconque, frites trop cuites mais supportable. Quand je demande à aller au jeu de quille, que je charge mes 2.- et que la patronne (à qui je viens de demander) surgit en hurlant que nous n'avons pas le droit. Que je lui rappelle lui avoir demandé et qu'elle me répond que nous n'avons qu'a payer et partir... Jamais et nulle part on a parlé comme ça aux clients. Je vous conseille vivement un autre restaurant, il y a bien assez de choix en ville.

My favorite restaurant in Vevey! Not recommended for people on a diet, the brasserie dishes are all as appetizing as each other... Take a table on the “cellar” side of the room for more charm. And for fans, an old-fashioned bowling game is hidden behind a door...

We normally visit the restaurant, but with lockdown in place, our only option was to take away. As a result, our selections under "say a little more about it" are a bit strange. It normally has sit down service and full bar, but now it doesn't.Our order was for rognons (kidneys) with rosti and boudin (blood sausage) with elbow pasta and apple sauce. They were both absolutely delicious and copious enough for another full meal the following day!

Top, great meat. The service is very good ☺

Belle carte avec un grand choix, y compris des mets de brasserie, à des prix corrects. C'était très bon.

Une des derniers pintes de la Riviera.Une belle carte avec des mets de brasserie, des spécialités régionales et des suggestions du moment. Des prix tout à fait correct aussi bien dans les plats que les vins. Le service est au top avec une équipe très sympa !Le côté « café «  est vraiment chouette, le côté « salle « un peu sans âme. C’est une super adresse pour passer un bon moment.
