"Le Toucan was recommended to us by a family who live in Orbe, which is about a ten minute drive from their home. We found the restaurant staff to be very friendly as we all struggled a bit in communicating between French and English, but we had good service and very good food the three times that we dined here. The menu features many salads and pizzas and a selection of interesting entrees. The grilled lake perch was on the menu for all of our visits and it was actually very good, although I'm no sure that it came from nearby Lake Geneva. If you come during nice weather I would definitely recommend that you dine outside on the terrace, which is shaded by tall old trees and is quite nice. In cooler or rainy weather, the inside dining area is divided into the white-table cloth dining room and the wooden table café sides, both of which offer the same menu. One of the evenings that we were there with our two grandchildren we sat in the more casual café area and the service and food were as good as the night that we sat on the terrace - but sitting outside when possible is clearly the better option. This is not a "destination" restaurant, but if you are in the vicinity of Orbe I would certainly recommend it."

"La Charrue has been recently completely renovated, a bit smaller than before. This a real local restaurant that generations of Ubrbigenes have been going to. The food is excellent, the menu is chalked on the wall, highly recommended are the Pizzas and the Hamburgers.... Make...sure you have an appetite.... Good selection of local and Italian wines. They serve quite late and you can get the pizzas to take away. Parking not nearby but little walk there is a few parking areas nearby. Always a sure place to go, maybe best to reserve in the evenings at the end of week."

"For many years, the LE Normand have been on the move and have lived the good and bad times since the original owners had the restaurant. The new owners are young and dynamic, have the restaurant a make-over in the café area and the terrace... which is excellent, they are looking to rebrand the name as LNA gives a young modern touch to the place. The most important thing is the food, the choice of wine and the service. There is a nice selection of sea fish, and meat, the first time that I had lunch for a business this week, Fillet de Perch, which served with and excellent salad in front of the hand, the meal it itself was nicely served with vegetables and French fries on the side. Later in the week went back in the week in the evening and had Steak Tartar, hand cut! Once again served beautifully, a piece from the bottom had to ask 3 times for the accompanying toast...this should not come 10min later with the meal. Service is overall very good and friendly, Saturday evening they were pretty busy on the terrace and inside as well as I think they were a little overwhelmed. The wine list is very good, mostly local wine I find is very good to promote the excellent wines of the region. The price is very reasonable, we will often go back because they deserve the support."

"Very welcoming atmosphere in this beautiful restaurant. Food was delicious - they started by serving everyone a really nice and refreshing starter, which was perfect for a hot summer afternoon. We then had the Parisian beef perfectly cooked, beautifully presented with tasty mushrooms and a divine shallot sauce! All the staff were really nice and spoke French, English and German. Highly recommend this restaurant!"
