Lac in Ollon

Stunning location, delicious food and wonderful staff. From our first visit, everyone could not have been nicer or more accommodating. **Edit** I have since stayed at the hotel and wow were we impressed. The rooms are gorgeous and the evening menu is superb. I made lots of special requests as we were a large group from young children to their grandparents as well as allergies. All catered for and the wine was amazing. It was a genuinely wonderful experience and we are planning a repeat next year. To stay up the mountain is a true bucket list experience. Having read some reviews, I cannot help but wonder if the problems they faced, were more to do with the patrons themselves than the staff here. Honestly, the team have been nothing short of excellent. We first visited last year before moving to Villars, and Hotel du Lac quickly became a firm favourite for our whole family. The wine list is surprisingly good too! Highly recommended.

The dishes are bland and poor for a price that is way too expensive. We ordered a tasteless onion soup for 20frs and a mini veggie burger consisting of a dry patty only, no vegetables, no sauce and all that for 20frs. Never seen before, the sauerkraut was cold and the sausage tasteless and at 26frs! 🤯 Fortunately the waitress was attentive and was able to replace our dishes. I really don't recommend this place

We came to ski for the day and really wanted to come and have lunch at the hotel du lac. The reception is really not up to par. The waitresses do not respond to our “hello”, we have to insist to ask to be seated. No smile, just a “we are short-staffed, and very arrogant!” in short, very bad reception! We leave extremely disappointed. A simple “hello, we are short-staffed today, there may be a bit of a wait” with a smile would have allowed us to be very understanding. Damage !

CHF 7.- for a Rivella 33cl. Salt and pepper from Lidl. Falafel burger also from the supermarket and about 10 fries (rather thick) for CHF 30.-. I guess I ended up in the wrong restaurant today. If only I had read the reviews ;) Service but very friendly. I'm looking forward to the friendly response to my review.
