Elephant Blanc in Villeneuve (VD)

Great Thai restaurant, loved these wonderful dishes. A superb address 😋👍☺️😋

Buffet meal nothing to say..very well cooked.. on the other hand paying a full price buffet for a child who only ate a spoonful of pasta a little expensive.. the price of a 3dcl syrup at 3.60ch I find exaggerated

Very friendly staff, varied and really good lunch buffet

Always excellent at an attractive price.

Good taste but poorly served, 3 shrimps for Pad Thai shrimps

Very reasonable price for the all-you-can-eat buffet, plenty of choice and everything was very good.

I tasted a spicy soup, I found it much too salty. The buffet is very good, for a reasonable price.

A magnificent, quality buffet, well done 👍 Consistency and a good welcome 🥰

Great...the owner and his wife are great and the service is really fast and efficient, the food is super good. It's worth the detour.

The food is so delicious! Definitely give number 1 recommend kitchen and services!

The bosses are super nice! Thank you for the welcoming !

Very nice discovery! An excellent restaurant with real Thai flavors. Very pleasant service. The establishment is located by the lake. We feasted. Possibility of having the buffet for a very affordable price. We opted for a la carte dishes and it was a treat! A lovely, simple address with exquisite flavors.

Excellent buffet, very friendly staff. I recommend.

A real delight in the sun We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the dishes 😋just the right choice but very good. I'll be back

Illegible dish menu in the evening Sweet rice noodles with three shrimps and a peanut mix that was not indicated

Great Thai experience The lunch buffet is varied and tasty THANKS !

Very good buffet for 25frs even on Sunday. Friendly and attentive staff.

Excellent super all-you-can-eat buffet, super friendly boss 👍👍

The perfect buffet took us on a journey and we had a great time. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. Thank you, I highly recommend this establishment. Price quality, nothing to say, impeccable.

Ordered some nuggets so they could take them out for me “but it’s a children’s menu sir”… fortunately the McDonald’s doesn’t judge.

Great restaurant. Excellent food. Real treat.

simple and friendly Thai restaurant, helpful and smiling staff, children's chair spontaneously offered. We opted for the buffet at 25.- for adults and 5.- for juniors, delicious classics.

Buffet without much change since the new management took over and very disappointed that they charged 5 francs for a child of a year and a half

Very good food, a little expensive. I had the buffet

Very nice all-you-can-eat buffet at lunchtime Very good value for money. I will return there quickly.

A treat, great service I highly recommend 😊 thank you very much.

Delicious traditional Thai cuisine. Thank you for the warm welcome.

Staff without respect for children, you should not come with family

Personally I love it! I went there a few years ago and had the lunch buffet. I already liked it a lot. I didn't have the opportunity to go back for a while but Covid made me rediscover it since you can order takeaway. Since then, I've only wanted to place an order with them every time I'm in the region. And now I have just placed a new order. Prawns with Thai basil. Super good and the price is really fair. In addition, the boss offered me, since the weather was cool, to prepare a scoop of ice cream for me to take away since there are unfortunately no desserts on the takeaway menu. Perhaps the only downside. You can go there with your eyes closed, you will not be disappointed. In addition, digestion is still going very well.

A friendly restaurant which offers quality Thai cuisine. Too bad almost all the main dishes are spicy. The staff is unfriendly

We always have a good time here !! Great service!! Delicious food and awesome people! I highly recommend this place for big eaters for the lunch time buffet! Keep up the good work fam!

Very good place to eat well at a very good price

For a first time, friendly staff, often renewed buffets, very reasonable prices. I will go back there

I only gave it 4 stars because I found the buffet food not hot enough this time. The buffet galore for 25.- is well varied, big eaters will find what they are looking for and for those who don't want to get up there is always a la carte with excellent menus. The welcome is warm and friendly and the place is very nicely decorated, which is why I have only included photos of the decoration of the large dining room. And to digest, you just have to cross the road to go for a walk by the lake..

Truly excellent cuisine made with passion, the quality is there. The lunch buffet is excellent and their menu is also excellent, with original desserts unlike other restaurants. Nice portion, well seasoned and nicely decorated. Great service, great welcome. Best Thai restaurant in the area.

Not necessarily liking Thai food, I found the menu quite complete. A red pepper will tell you if the dish is “hot” or not. The products are of good quality and in good quantities on the plate. You won't come out of there empty stomach. The service was okay and the atmosphere was a little subpar...perhaps it lacked music?! In any case, we eat well there :-)

The all-you-can-eat buffet is always very good and the service is friendly.

Very very very good table, very classy

Welcome, service and large choice of meals for gourmets. Looking forward to returning there.

Excellent all-you-can-eat Thai buffet, quality and cleanliness are there.

Bad surprise on the menu! I've known the White Elephant for a few years now and even back then I wasn't completely satisfied. At least culinaryly speaking, I couldn't complain. Indeed, the dishes served there were a treat for the taste buds!! Over time we can see, or rather taste, a slight deterioration. But let's not be stupid, I still appreciate what I find there (but less...). Where I want to draw attention is to the behavior of the staff and more precisely to the manager who also happens to be the person who took over the business (#itwasbetterbefore!). You will recognize him quite easily since he is the little bearded man with glasses who greets you with a rather annoyed look on his face to see you "show up" in his restaurant. Let me be clear, I don't expect him to jump for joy when he sees me with a hug, but I still expect a minimum for a commercial service (a smile and consideration ) and regularity. However, as they say back home: you don't come for the creamer's head but rather for the butter!!! That's why I ignored this kind of childishness. But recently I witnessed a real scandal. Indeed, apart from the famous welcome (which unfortunately I am accustomed to), I was able to observe the smallness in all its splendor, since our manager Alexandre, counted a child's meal for a baby, what a shame! Not to mention your indelicacy towards this client. I deplore your contempt for this customer whom you mistreated (and I support his reaction) but for all the customers who you look down on. With this kind of behavior you may have won your day, but the truth is, and I tell you this, you wasted your time! Yes lost! Because you have already lost me as a customer as well as my family but also I will no longer advertise your restaurant to you, quite the contrary! A word to the wise...

Thieves make you pay for things you didn't order, the change of boss makes you feel it. Very disappointed 😞...

My family and I have been customers of this restaurant for many years. I always loved coming, until the change of management. Indeed, I find that the quality of service has declined with the person who took over the restaurant. Firstly, we chose to have the all you can eat buffet and no one offered us drinks, I had to ask for them mid-meal. Next, the Sahara Desert offers more diversity when it comes to desserts. And finally, what finished me off was that I was made to pay an additional package for my 18 month old daughter. Is it necessary to specify the amount of food ingested by such a small human? Especially since I took food off my own plate to give him, so I don't understand why I have to pay a child package of CHF 5.-- for a young child. It's not the amount that matters to me but the principle that bothers me. I underline the bad faith of the boss and the lack of respect towards my companion who asked him for explanations and who was immediately insulted. Unfortunately, after more than 15 years of customer service, I would not return. Disappointed with this lack of professionalism and this non-commercial service.

Good value for money and good welcome.

We had the buffet here on a weekday lunch. It was good food and a tasty buffet. The only feedback I would give would be to have a vegetarian option among the curries. 25F for salad and vege noodles felt a bit steep - a nice tofu or vegetable curry would have rounded it out.

Our favorite Thai restaurant in the region. On every occasion, we stop there to eat their magnificent chicken and coconut milk soup. The dishes are also very good. Especially the chicken noodles. As for the Thai dessert, my mouth is watering just writing this comment...A must try if you are passing through Villeneuve.

Exceptional! We stopped there by chance a few years ago and we return regularly.

Welcoming premises, pleasant staff. The all-you-can-eat buffet, good value for money, I found that there is not much choice in desserts, but other than that, I enjoyed it. 😄

The beef with Thai holy basil was perfect. I recommend.

Excellent value for money!!!! The buffet at 25.- remains a safe bet and the flavors of Asia are there. To recommend !

Incredible flavors truly delicious

Unfortunately I had the buffet. The taste of the 5 different meals to choose from was good, but we waited a long time for dessert, no comment, it was empty. Ultimately for 25 francs per person it's too expensive. Try but I don't come anymore.

The service is good the food was delicious but I would say the hygiene was not the best to be honest but over all good.

Super very well received and very good to advise

Delicious buffet, with Thai dessert as I like. I recommend this restaurant.

An excellent place to taste Thai cuisine! Warm welcome, varied menu and unlimited buffet.

This is a good value from money destination for those who love thai food. The sunday buffet is sumptuous. They have special pricing for kids. It is recommended to reserve in advance. The place is very accessible via public transport and car. Ample parking is available close to the restaurant. Post lunch you can also plan for a good walk by the lake or through the old town.

Well eaten but the service is to be desired

Very good Tai food - the three of us were very satisfied. Up to and including dessert and fine espresso.

very nice welcome fast service fair price very good dishes

Good food. A la carte in the evening, buffet at lunchtime

Just delicious with a very warm welcome

Warm welcome, never disappointed ❣We eat very, very well there. For more than reasonable prices. Safe address.

Friendly restaurant, very pleasant and smiling owner. I ate a pad thai there, usually in Switzerland I'm disappointed but oas this time I must say, just a small downside... the rice noodles a bit overcooked and too bad only 3 shrimps 😢😢 But the buffet looked really great and all that for a very reasonable price☺☺☺ I forgot, it is located right on the edge of Lake Geneva, very very pretty view. Go there with your eyes closed.

Very good restaurant! Loved the shrimps and the curry! Best massaman and panang I ever ate! Nice and friendly staff! Very friendly with kids! Nices beers and wines!

For me the best Thai I have ever tasted. Everything is delicious from starter to main course and even dessert. The flavors are there and God knows my speaking is demanding. I highly recommend eating here. If I could give a 6th star I would.

High price, not so great food..

Thai restaurant, by the lake in Villeneuve, à la carte or buffet, good cuisine, to discover and share, worth a detour.

We ordered over the phone. Very simple. The takeaway menu is available on the site. 15 minutes later we were served. Excellent. No complaints. They even added some shrimp chips. And the welcome and the service were very good.

The vegetable noodles were excellent as well as the spring rolls!

It's very satisfying to eat with Thai friends. The price is reasonable Food is good !!!

nice hosts, pretty location, food was very good but is more geared towards farangs, lab mu wasn't the best som tam I would say was prepared, that's why the star was deducted. Portions are rather small for the price... but all in all we would go there again

Delicious and easy to access! Friendly staff and very reasonable prices

Good Thai restaurant, very affordable, the buffet (25.-) is well stocked and everything is delicious.

Horrible restaurant! I order pad Thai crevettes, it arrives with small pieces of chicken inside and they accuse me of having taken them from my boyfriend's plate. They are a disgrace not to mention Dirt. They should have controls, they use 1 pot for everything. And what's more they tell me that they won't change my plate because the kitchen is closed and it's already a long time since they welcomed us at 9pm. (After having made a reservation by phone!) Rude staff. He could have simply said sorry and it would have ended there, I was annoyed by the fact that everyone left the kitchen insinuating that it was my fault. They were all really out of line. I recommend other restaurants where the hospitality and education are at the top because I sincerely advise against it to everyone. Be less presumptuous, and learn education!

We always ate very well. To recommend.

Excellent dishes 👌 Cuisine also for vegetarians although there is little choice in this category.

Well received and very well eaten.

Best Thai restaurant in Villeneuve. Super nice chef. Parking space nearby. I would definitely come back.

The service attitude is so disappointed and cold and we are treated like we are not welcome and feel like discriminated! That day is raining and windy and after we ordered the server asked us tp go out since we cannot wait inside the restaurant because of Covid-19 regulations. I totally understand and respect the regulations of Covid-19, however that time there is no other guests, just the two of us sitting by the door, and it was just that server in the reception. But we still leave because of respecting all the regulations stuff, however, when we come back, there’s another customer who is sitting in the same spot as we were waiting for her food?!! I mean, why we are treated so differently? Just because We are two Asians and other customer is western so we are not welcome in a Thai restaurant... this makes me feel really sad... anyway it was definitely the last time I am here and I don’t recommend this restaurant at all.

Food was so so, we ordered duck, but it came in fish flavor. Then we have ordered a soup and they are such a genius to decide to put the liquid into a aluminum box with a PAPER cover, of course it ended up a swimming pool in the bag. It was raining like hell, and we would like to take away, but we were told that we cannot stay in the resto to wait for it since Covid, and have to return in 20min to pick up the food. However when we return, there was a guest sitting there to wait for their take away, apparently it is The boss has such an attitude, and we do not feel welcome in this place. Anyway ça sera le premier fois et le dernier fois.

Welcome well Good offer (they make efforts to work with local products...more and more...I hope so) Nice place Professional and accommodating staff

Bon acceuil et excellente cuisine Thaï

The white elephant welcomes you at the entrance, you can't miss it. The dishes are delicious served in beautiful plates with nice presentation. The restaurant is well decorated, it's a real pleasure to eat at this place 😊

Tout d'abord un grand merci au patron qui est d'une grande sympathie. Nous nous sommes régalé dans votre restaurant. Plat servis en grande quantité. Pour avoir passé quelques mois en Thaïland, j'ai retrouvé les saveurs. Mon amie thaïlandaise a aussi pris beaucoup de plaisir. Personnellement j'y retournerai avec grand plaisir . Merci à vous.

Nourriture délicieuse et un service excellent. Les plats vous font voyager.🤩

Tasty and good value menu of the day for chf22

Das Restaurant ist tatsächlich äußerst schön möbliert. Keine cheap Deko, stattdessen es war farblich sehr vieles ungemein hübsch auf einander angepasst.Mein Freund und ich waren zu gemeinsam anwesend und jeder von uns hat etwas anderes geordert was mich angeht kann sagen, ich habe von allem eine Prise gekostet und es war ganz tol.Durchaus nicht nur das nette Lokal Personal war bei meinem Besuch der absolute Renner, sondern ebenfalls das tolle Ambiente.Mein Mann und ich finden die Preise ebenfalls vollkommen Fair.

Nous avons super bien mangé et passer un agréable moment en famille. Le personnel est très serviable. Je recommande ce restaurant.

Nous sommes venus un jeudi soir manger entre amis, endroit sympathique, la serveuse était très aimable et la nourriture très bonne.

(Traducido por Google) Vinimos a comer el buffet al mediodía ... Poca elección pero la comida no está mal (quizás un poco seca). Ni siquiera podemos ayudarnos a nosotros mismos, es alguien que llena nuestro plato, por lo que lleva mucho más tiempo ... señor que nos atendió en una puerta que está abajo y chisporrotea en nuestros platos ... ¡Sin comentarios! En resumen, no es un gran placer comer allí en el caso de Covid. (Original) Nous sommes venus manger le buffet à midi... Peu de choix mais la nourriture est pas mauvaise (peut-être un peu sèche). On ne peut même pas se servir soit-même, c'est qqun qui nous rempli l'assiette, de ce fait ça prend beaucoup plus de temps... On nous bassine pour qu'on porte le masque durant nos déplacements alors que le monsieur qui nous a servi en porte un qui est baissé et postillonne sur nos plats... Sans commentaire ! Bref pas grand plaisir de manger là-bas en cas de Covid.

(Traducido por Google) Muy simpático.. Buen buffet Pero los platos no son lo suficientemente típicos ... tuve la impresión de estar comiendo en un restaurante con colores nacionales ... ¡una pena! (Original) Très sympathique.. Joli buffet Mais les plat ne sont pas assez typés...j avais l impression de manger dans un restaurant au couleurs nationale...un peu dommage !

(Traducido por Google) muy agradable, la comida muy buena, el buffet copious.le personal genial. (Original) tres sympa,la nourriture tres bonne, le buffet copieux.le personnel super.

(Traducido por Google) Comida y servicio excelente, siempre nos gusta volver. (Original) Essen und Bedienung ausgezeichnet wir kommen immer wieder gerne

went for the buffet de midi and everything was very tasty, loved the formula because it allows you to try everything for only 25chf

(Traducido por Google) Gran restaurante asiático (Original) Super restaurant Asiatique

Nous avons pris de la nourriture à emporter, pensant qu’il y avait une erreur avec notre commande nous sommes allé demander des explications vraiment gentiment , l’homme, qui je pense est le patron du restaurant nous a parlés vraiment mal sur un ton insolent et nous a fait comprendre qu’on le soulait fort... Bref en plus de ça la nourriture est vraiment pas exceptionnel donc ma recommandation : passez votre chemin !!

(Traducido por Google) Buenos platos, servicio rápido, lo recomiendo. (Original) Bon plats, service rapide, je recommande

Super good vegetarian pad thai, nice atmosphere and low price. Highly recommended 👍

(Traducido por Google) Comida deliciosa (Original) อาหารอร่อย
