This is a peculiar self-service restaurant where you load your order to a card that you receive at the entrance and pay at the exit. The dishes are freshly prepared while waiting in the line. With regard to main dishes, four types of pasta are vegan marked: Arrabiata, Pomodoro, Aglio e Olio and Ratatouille. The Aglio e Olio I tried was pretty good, the Bruschetta is just okay.

Quick, easy, fresh and you and eat the herb plants growing at your table. Grab a pladtic card one per person) get in the line at the counter for the item you want pasta, pizza, salad or soup. Drinks are in the next room) put your card on the reader and it adds it to your tab. The chef let you pick your pasta will make it to order as you stand there. Take your tray and move to the next line. Pay at the end Lots of vegetarian choices. I liked the pesto pasta. Avocado creama was mild but good. Soup was excellent. Only negative: The employees don't seem happy. Not sure why?

I like the concept here and will try it again, but I was underwhelmed by my experience. I walked in early so maybe that's to blame, but I had a train to catch and wanted to get dinner for the ride. There were only few people there but it took ~10 minutes or so for me to even get my order it. Then it was slowly made, but the saucisse was missing. Promising, but the sauce hadtoo much cream and the vegetables were underdone. Luckily, the pasta wasn't over cooked which would have been a deal breaker. I'll try again and eat in for dinner at a normal time and see how it fares.

Awesome place! Quality food, freshly prepared in front of you, and the cost isn't too bad for Switzerland. The place itself is really well run well structured and orderly, and there are staff members constantly bussing tables and keeping the place clean. The pasta is great! I came here with a group of friends and we each had a pasta dish no one was disappointed. There is no table service so you need to go to the bar separately for drinks (even water). The staff is nice and they speak English well, but none of the wine pours are very large so be prepared to go back to the bar a few times if you want more alcohol.

This place is right above the metro station and across the street from the main Lausanne train station. You take a little escalator up, and the vibe is almost romantic, or as romantic as a cafeteria-like setting can be. I love the concept where you use a card, order anything you want, and pay at the end. I feel like I should have tried more dishes before confirming that this place is three stars. I had a salad with figs and goat cheese, and though it was good and plated adorably, it wasn't enough to make me come back. This place is apparently a chain all over Europe, and the prices are alright when it comes to Swiss restaurants.

Definitely worth checking out. You walk in, take a card, bring a card to what you want and put it on the counter scanner and they'll just add whatever you get onto the card for when you check out as you leave. I don't speak French or Italian as I was just passing through town but due to a hotel problem, I ended up close to this part of town. I had pasta and had to pick the noodle type and pick either bread or salad. I ordered 2 extra pieces of bread (baguettes? because I was starved and they were really good. The taste of the dish I chose was amazing and the concept was great. The one thing I didn't like was that you can pick what you want but it's expensive enough that I couldn't order 2 di...

While I was in Lausanne Switzerland, my boyfriend and I happened to stumble upon this place while we were looking for a place to eat one night. I really enjoyed the concept of this place and how many different options they had for you to choose from. You take a plastic card at the beginning, one per person, go up to the station you want, order, and then they cook your food and you scan the card on the sensor and it loads your order. You eat and then pay at the end. I ended up choosing the Risotto con Speck, which had a variety of different things in it (tomatoes, peas, carrots, bacon, and things I cant remember) and boy was it delicious. The portion size was also a good one and it left me fe...

This place is pretty amazing. You get fresh pasta made right in front of you in a beautiful huge 2 level seating area with outlets (a good number of them didn 't seem to be working though) and free wifi. When you walk in, you have to get a card from the cashier sitting directly in front of the door. Your order is 'charged ' on this card inside and you give the card back and pay on your way out. I did not know this and he rudely called out to me as I was walking past him, just for me to wait 5 mins not even 2 feet away for him to finish checking out a few customers to give me a card. He did not even seem to acknowledge me until I approached him when he was done. The whole time I watched him h...
