"Wonderful location with very good atmosphere. If the weather is good, this is the place where you can count on making the very good memories of Montreux."

"This restaurant is owned by Fairmont hotel. The service makes us feel welcome. They also tried to accommodate us the seat close to the lake. We ordered the pan fried cod, asparagus and truffle risottos. The pan fried cod is hands down the best cod I ever had, it was so juicy, tender to an extend that it tasted like it was steamed. The truffle risottos were also very good. The lake view and vibes are also fantastic, the price is at the high side but I think it is commensurate with other hotel restaurants but the food is good."

"Beautiful terrace with a magnificent view on the lake and mountains. Service is extremely attentive and friendly. The food was of very high quality but we felt that some of the dishes (e.g. the Gnocchi) lacked a bit of a “twist”. Dogs are welcome on the terrace."

"Lovely setting, up the mountain, at the end of the cog railway. Fabulous views and some nice walks in the area. Not too pricey given the exclusivity of the location"

"Amazing lobster tagliatelle and ice cream/sorbet. Tiramisu was also very good. Service was somewhat inattentive and took a while to check on your needs, but also dined at a late lunch so staff was switching over."

"We hosted a business event here. The views and vibe are amazing - perfect if the weather holds up. The staff was super friendly and attentive. The food was good and the wine even better."

"This restaurant is on the edge of 5 stars. View is like a storybook. The service during the jazz festival was a bit chaotic but we enjoyed our burrata appetizer which was beautifully plated and fresh. The fish was fresh and we sampled a glass of Swiss wine which I found a bit too watery and light. You are there for the view, period. Pretty delicious food and friendly faces is icing on the cake. We posed for a few shots of the magical background."
