La Folie Voltaire in Lausanne

Raffaele’s team is really extremely professional and friendly! Very good and sublime setting! Well done!

An oasis of pleasure for everyone!

Nice little buvette and food. Great to meet for light lunch or quick snack with friends

Cutest place in Lausanne. The park is beautiful and the setting of the restaurant is amazing. All ingredients are fresh and local, and the staff is super friendly. Favourite brunch/coffee place in the whole city

Vegan capuchino is super good! 👌 I prefer oat milk, almond for Capuchino 🫗 💖 ♥️ 💓 and latte ♥️ also the kitchen is magnificent! The girls are nice and positive! Chocolate sorbet 🍫 fantastic!

We bring out the ice cream at 2 p.m., I am told at 1:30 p.m., in a peremptory tone and after having conspicuously ignored me for a few minutes. I therefore share the opinions on the low quality of the service and will not comment on that of the food.

I find it scandalous to pay 4.50.- for a scoop of microscopic ice cream (eaten in three spoonfuls by my 7 year old son). The scoop at 3.50.- was tiny in a cardboard coffee cup (because no more small ice cream cones). I greatly regret not having taken a photo as proof of this ridiculous situation. I see from the previous comments that I am not the only one to have had this very bad experience. I still prefer to buy my children industrial ice cream from the kiosk next door!

Very nice place but minimal service for high prices, too bad! Fortunately the quality is there.

Best terrace in Lausanne! Excellent food and great staff

Very friendly staff and lovely crepe, would love to your plate de jour soon. The ambiance is amazing.

Service a little slow but overall good.

As a fan of nature and trees, I love this place, I can't comment on the food because I just had a drink.

One of the most beautiful spot in Lausanne. Super laid down and the feeling to be away of the town center. Perfect for kids with playing field.

The manager takes his time, does his own cleaning and doesn't worry about the waiting customers and the portion of ice cream was really limited for 4.5.-. we clearly won't be coming back.

Terrible, endless service and mediocre food. 50 minutes for a pancake made with your feet but which costs as much as a pedicure.

A corner of greenery in the center of Lausanne. Play park for children. Pancakes and ice cream.

Very nice place in the heart of Lausanne! Top and quiet

Great crêpes, wonderful ice cream (get there early as the ice cream flavour options decrease as the day goes on. Mango is wonderful...in fact every flavour I tried was amazing; chocolate, caramel, lychee, lemon sorbet, raspberry :)

Very nice setting with children

Very nice place, staff full of energy! We have always had crepes which are very good and quickly prepared, even if the place is full, which is often the case. The other dishes look full of flavor. A little “alternative” and nice look!

Ahhhh what a beautiful place, with a warm welcome and good products. Pleasure guaranteed.

Very disappointed with the behavior of the owner. Since it is impossible to make reservations at this establishment, we came early on a sunny Saturday to see if a table could be found for brunch. I am told that I have to wait 1h30 which seems long but likely. Seeing that other people are coming and going to find a place, I ask if it is possible to put his name on a waiting list so as not to wait 1:30 on a bench to be overtaken by others. other people who would also be waiting. I was told relatively curtly “that’s not possible”. I counter by saying that a piece of paper and a pen would be enough to make the wait bearable and useful. I am once again told curtly “I don’t have time!”. Gently annoyed, I brought this gentleman's attention to his colleagues, who had responded normally and who seemed quite available. He concludes “we can’t!”. Now very annoyed by the mocking way used to answer me and the impertinence of this gentleman, I am leaving and will not return anytime soon. I still find it incredible that after a year of asking that we support restaurants in the region, some have no problem treating customers as a convenience, dispensable and who would be privileged to wait 1.30 hours for * maybe* get a table to spend your money in the establishment. –––Response to owner's response: If you use the answers to question customer testimonials, I suggest you train in customer service and social media management. I see that you futilely refute the statements of people who dare to voice criticism of you. You may think you're not snarky but that's how you interacted with me nonetheless, saying that's not your style suggests that my description is misleading. Everyone has the right to make mistakes, or be clumsy, but contradicting the bad impression you make on certain people is simply unprofessional. I waited until you finished serving the two brownies to your customers before asking you my first question and that does not excuse your lack of teaching, after all it is your job to know how to welcome and manage the flow of people, especially since I didn't interrupt you. I did not ask you to take my number but to ensure that the wait could be managed professionally. Furthermore, if a table can become free beforehand as you say, a list, a call or a simple text message could have allowed your customers to not have to wait 1 hour on a bench next to the playing place. Please note that a A minimum of training on technology dedicated to catering could avoid this type of inconvenience and poor customer experience. You have the right not to allow reservations but it is the right of your customers to find this archaic and unprofessional.

The best brunch of Lausanne, not only because of the food. The environment is beautiful!

undoubtedly the best iced coffee in the world! nice team but a lot of people...

An idyllic timeless place for a meal, a coffee or just a drink. The fish straight from the fisherman is divine, everything is fresh and delicious. The service is perfect, friendly and cheerful. THANKS.

In the heart of the superb Mon Repos park, there is a children's play area next door which can be noisy for non-parents. The food is good, there is a good drinks and meal menu.

Very bucolic and calming place, very pleasant service, local and excellent food... Bravo to them!

Great welcome + Playground + Good coffee + impeccable brunch + magnificent space = Super family friendly! There’s something for everyone!

goat cheese crepe and tapenade: tiny dimensions, ultra fine not to mention the content... 1mm of cheese in rare places... 11.50 chf

Excellent...little relaxation spot for adults and children...❤

Mouthwatering brunches in a romantic atmosphere. Very attractive prices, healthy and plenty of food.

It's very nice. The place and the place.

Very charming place right in the middle of the park. Offer of fun and original drinks. The brunch is very good. The service is excellent, it feels good!

Big disappointment, I looked for a restaurant for lunch with friends: On the phone, I was told to come! On site, in a very special chaos, we were told that we did not have anything to cook for ourselves, on a Sunday at 1 p.m. To cross off the list of good deals with friends, it's a pancake and toast kiosk for the garden sandbox.

Very pleasant service and perfect place for a snack near a children's play area (swings, sand, water games)

Cute little place in the middle of the park for a drink or a small meal

Nice places to discover for brunch or a simple coffee

Dynamic and smiling atmosphere. Very good meal, tender lamb ribs, tomatoes, salad and potatoes.

Good restaurant, well located in the Mon-Repos park. The setting is pleasant and provides a nice break for the lunch break. The dishes are good, with fresh and local products. Small downside for the service which, although very pleasant, is unfortunately very slow. However, I recommend it to have a good time there.

Magnificent place hidden in the park for my rest, I only tried the brunch, simple effective and generous all in an idyllic setting. Friendly welcome

A very pretty little corner of Paradise..

Favorite spot for mothers, friendly staff and very pleasant terrace.

Really nice in summer, the dishes are not cooked dishes (bread, cheese, yogurt, pancakes etc.) but the place is so magical that it is worth it :) Be careful, they do not accept the card..

Pleasant place to stroll for a few moments in the shade of the park's trees. A playground is adjacent: practical for children. Pleasant little meal. Carry cash with you, they don't take cards.

Superb quiet and peaceful place

The place is quiet located in the old town with a pretty little terrace in the sun. Welcoming and quickly served. Good beer

Friendly atmosphere and very good meal

Congratulations for the excellent quality of the food! The féra rillettes were delicious and very well accompanied

This is the cafe in the park at Mon Repos. It's a nice shaded area with small tables and chairs. It's a convenient place to stop and have a coffee or tea if you're visiting with children. There is a playground right next to the cafe. The waiters were efficient and friendly and the prices were reasonable. The cafe glace was good. I would definitely recommend the coffee. They also make a pistachio expresso that tastes really good.

Very pleasant, with delicious dishes and pastries and very friendly staff! Kudos for deck chairs! 😊

We discovered this very good address during lunch. Warm welcome from Raffaele who quickly found us a table despite the crowds. The menu is simple but is perfectly adapted to seasonal, fresh and local products. The plates are beautiful and plentiful, just like the dessert. In summary, we really appreciated the soul and friendliness of the place, its staff, and especially the cuisine! THANKS We discovered this place surrounding by nature during a lunch break. Warm welcome from the chief, who finds us very quickly a couple of chairs and a table. The menu is simple but perfectly footed for seasonal vegetables, fresh and local. The plates look really nice and copious. Finally, we enjoyed the drunkenness and the conviliaty of the place, and the most important: food! TY

A peaceful place to seat and eat a simple crepe with sugar or honey, they also have natural juices. This place is in the middle of Mon Repos parc, one of the many lovely parcs of Lausanne. They don't have a fixed schedule.

Very nice (especially with young children)

The salads are good! Dish of the day always interesting because the products are local. Top with children who can play at the park right next door!

The place is very beautiful, too bad the kitchen is not up to standard. Very average brunch, undercooked pancakes and mediocre dish of the day (you don't cut scallops in half to make more...)

Gorgeous! The terrace is located in the heart of the Parc de Mon Repos, sheltered from the sun, but not from the rain! Great for families with play areas nearby! I highly recommend the walk through the park! Say hello to Jaco, the magnificent macaw in the aviary!

Best brunch in town lots of young famillies on weekend ends

wonderful place and wonderful staff
