Had lunch with friends outside on the terrace overlooking lake Geneva. Food and service was good. Selection of wine not very good. The rose wine we wanted they didn't have and were given an inferior Swiss one. The fish we wanted they ran out off .On the whole a food experience. I recommend the place.

Welcome to La Brasserie J5! The restaurant is open 7/7 from 8.30am to 11pm, and the kitchen from 11.30am to 10.30pm. In a relaxed atmosphere with slight retro accents and an opening towards the main avenue, I suggest you to discover the dishes from the me

We took a seat outside at 11:05.They open up at 11:00. 5 other people were sitting outside an already drinking coffee.After 5 minutes my wife went inside to ask if it is kind of selfservice or order at the bar or something like that. She was then asked what she wants in a very unpolite way and was told that we can not eat something because the kitchen closes at 11:30. Are you kidding!? They open up at 11:00 and the kitchen closes at 11:30?!We will never visit this place anymore.Dear Sir,Thank you for your review.Unfortunately there has been a huge misunderstanding of your wife, which was probably because of the language barriers.She has indeed come inside after waiting for 5 minutes to ask ironically if it was self service. Our professional waitress then kindly asked her what she could help her with. Our restaurant opens at 08h30 in the morning for coffee but the kitchen only opens at 11h30 and is continuously open until 22h00.The opening hours of the restaurant can be found on the door, windows and online.We are sorry for your experience but we find your comments and review very unfair.Best regards,The Direction

My husband and I are traveling Switzerland to celebrate 13 years of marriage. Since we were staying at the Suisse Majestic Hotel we knew the views at the restaurant were incredible (we were fortunate to spend our mornings there over breakfast, which I will admit, were wonderful). We decided that it would be a great place to watch the sun set over Lake Geneva dining at Restaurant 45. Iâm sad to review that it was so disappointing.While the view was incredible, and our food was actually pretty good also, everything was overshadowed by the indescribably poor service. Of all the meals we enjoyed and establishments we visited sadly, Restaurant 45 is the only place I wouldnât recommend. Dear JldSavage831,First of all, I would like to thank you for your feedback and for sharing your experience with me, that I have fully taken into consideration. Making our guests happy is our priority number one, and thanks to your precious feedback we progress and improving our service. So thank you very sincerely for your message, it help us to be better.I am sad to read that you didnât enjoy your experience in our restaurant. To be honest with you , we have usually very good feedback for our Chef cooking and also about service team.As I mentioned our customers are our first priority, and I will make sure that, thanks to your feedback, this stays an isolated case. By any chance, could you give me more details?Hear my contact details: [email protected] hope that you enjoyed your stay and that we will be lucky to welcome you again our restaurant.Warm regards from Montreux,Yana Maillard / Sales Manager& Suisse Majestic team

Had a business dinner in the Auberge Communale, service was good and friendly and fast enough. The waiter briefed us on each dish (of which there were 4). Good atmosphere and would recommend for a slightly posher dinner occasion. Nice place, would go again.

A lovely place with great ingredients. Having said that there is a real sense of a place that rests on its laurels - perhaps a place that achieved technical excellence but tries too hard to be classic French. Having eaten and travelled extensively for food I cannot say that it blew me away- good but boring. Service efficient but again totally lacking in warmth that would make it superb. Wine recommendations just ok I think more effort would transform this place - for sure I would give it one star but no where near two which is why my rating is average based on the fact that I would expect so much more from a two star

We thought we would treat ourselves and stay in the best hotel in Montreux. We were surprised that the room was small and tired with a rusty shower door which leaked. On arriving we expected and were told there would be water in the room. There wasnât. We wanted to make two decaf coffees there was only one. Three teabags of different types, we like the same tea. The milk was the horrible little containers. No biscuits or fruit without paying. $5 for a very small toblerone or bag of crisps , $19 for a miniature scotch! A rip off !!! I went to reception to ask about the water and was told it would be delivered in the evening. I said there was a trolley outside our door with water and small platters of fruit. I was told this was for rooms who paid $1500 a night ! Us paupers were only paying $440 !!!!!On check in they swiped an extra $100 per night for breakages or extras we may spend. Astonishing !! They told us all hotels now do this. We informed them we had just returned from an excellent NH hotel in Turin who didnât and looked after us superbly offering us soft drinks and snacks on arrival in reception and information about the city. The public areas are very splendid and so was the view of the lake from our room for which we naturally paid more. The restaurants were good if you are ok paying $34 for a club sandwich and $9.50 for a bottle of sparkling water !Obviously this place was not for mere mortals like us. I pointed out we have been better treated in a Holiday Inn. Five star ? Yes a great spa and facilities but very poor customer service.

The restaurant faces the street and is off to one side of the main lobby registration desk. The restaurant is decorated in jazz decor. The menu has a nice variety of local cuisine including fish, meat, and even a burger. Dishes are well prepared and delicious. Expect small surprises. Staff is very attentive. Prices are moderate by local standards. Would dine here again.Many thanks for your kind words describing your recent experience at the Montreux Jazz Café. I am delighted to read that you and your family enjoyed your time with us. I have shared your kind comment with all staff members. It would be a pleasure to welcoming you back to the Swiss Riviera in the not too distant future. Best regards,Cinzia R.Assistante F&B Manager

Très Bon!This is what I felt after eating the most tasty and succulent preparation of duck at this restaurant. The accompanying sauce was just delicious. Right from complimentary starters to the main course, everything was perfectly done. Merci Beaucoup for a lovely time. Wishing the owner, a wonderful French couple, great success and happy times ahead.

Quite a shame really, the location is spectacular and it certainly gives a luxurious first impression, but the food was quite average for the price range and category itâs in. We had waited a bit for our drinks but that was okay because we were happy to be out and about. We had waited a bit fir our food, too but that was okay until in both my and my wifeâs order something was missing. Not really a problem but the food was only luke warm and by the time our side dishes came the food was tepid. Not so bad i guess but the food wasnât really very good, average would be an honest evaluation. We had wanted to get a bottle of wine as well but when a bottle of Dieter Meierâs âPuroâ ( which is a fantastic argentinian Malbec) was on the card for 85chf that stopped us from ordering. We live here and at a local grocery store the bottle is 17chf so i followed my 3x the price rule. I would have gone up to 65 for it but not 5 times their purchase price.Service was amateurish and i felt that it was a mix of students and moderately experienced wait staff. So to sum it up, the restaurant gives the impression of higher end luxury cuisine and charges for it but only delivers average food and service. I recommend you look elsewhere unless youâre in the hotel anyway and just want to eat without taking a walk. A shame, it could be so much nicer with a more experienced chef and service......Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at MP's Bar & Grill. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. We strive to provide a superior service experience for every customer; therefore your feedback is very important to us.
