03.31.2024 first discovery of the Holy Cow label.
Order placed via a famous home delivery platform.
The order was delivered quickly, everything was still hot and well packaged, labeled. In terms of quality of the food, the whole thing was very good, the meat with a good barbecue taste.
We were very satisfied with this discovery and will surely return to one of these Holy Cow restaurants.
It was a lovely evening, the decoration of the restaurant was well redone, the service was good and we ate well. I found the bill a little high for the service.
We came for a brunch without reservation and was seated at the window high chairs, not the most ergonomic seat but it was nice as we could people watching the busy Saturday morning of lausanne :) They had typical brunch menu like egg benedict and more unique offer like shakshuka. Food portion was sufficient to fill up a man's hungry stomach. One of the best cafe in Lausanne!
I went there during a lunch break. Fast food, time spent there a little less than an hour, good burger, good fries and good beer. Nothing to complain about there. I also appreciated the decoration and the staff being impeccable.
However, at more than 37 francs for a burger and 4dl of draft beer... It stings. Neither the quality nor the quantity justifies these prices in my opinion.
Very very nice discovery today!
Thank you for the welcome, for this beautiful taste moment!
Already my cocktail: girl power -> wow, very well dosed, tangy, well done to the barmaid!
A foie gras with a soft texture but a strong taste.
Comes the meat: 1kg100 for 2 very well seasoned and to finish a small dome of white chocolate.
Thank you for this sweet moment! And congratulations to the whole team!
Even the green salad with its creamy white sauce was delicious as a starter. Today I opted for the spaghetti with onion and veal, a really generous and delicious plate. A big thank you to those who prepared it!
It’s a very central cafe, good position. It’s also quite spacious, on 3 floors.
The food (we had only the brunch - see picture -, can’t say anything about lunch) was also good, we couldn’t complain about that.
The service though..
1. I tried to call to make a reservation the evening before, I called 7 times in 2 hours, but nobody picked up. I had to call the same day to make the reservation.
2. The waitress told us to sit upstairs, so we did. We waited for longer than 15 minutes and nobody was coming, so we had to call the waiter ourselves.
3. As mentioned, we tried the breakfast/brunch. In the menu it states that you can choose coffee, tea or chocolate for beverage. We chose one among the list of coffees (there’s another list aside for “special coffees”, we supposed that those were not the included ones, so we just chose among the “normal coffees” list), but it turns out, they were also “too special” so we had to pay for additional charges. Unfortunately the waitress didn’t even mention it as we ordered, thanks. And of course no mention on the menu.
(Just to compare, we changed a croissant to a “special” one. For that we had to pay extra 1 franc, which was completely ok, since it states in the menu, something like “every change will be charged”, but as already mentioned, nothing about the coffee. I didn’t find it fair)
So overall, good food quality but personally pretty bad service experience. There are so many nice places in Lausanne, I can’t recommend this one.
