I went to this restaurant for lunch and was most pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The business lunch is great value for money. I strongly recommend this place. Make sure you book your table in advance.

This is the kind of place I am reluctant to share because it is so nice and I dont want to see it change. Top price quality ratio. Great selection of foods. Good wine list.
Dining room or in the café, good service.
Of course you have to get there but it is worth every minute of the trip.
A true best kept secret

This was our first visit to this restaurant easily reached from our Home: 20-minute drive and easy parking.
The restaurant extends from the front to the back of the building with the bar on one of the long sides and the kitchens located further back. There are about 10 tables and Seating for some 40 people. There is also a small room just of the back of the restaurant with room for 6-8 people to have an aperitif. Furniture is simple and modest. For me there was too much advertising on the bar which reduces the appeal of the room.
Service is friendly and prompt. However, as we discovered, the staff with the exception of the owner’s wife are not well versed on either the ingredients or the wine list.
The menu is not extensive and changes about every six weeks. There is a set meu (Menu Découverte) price at CHF70 for the full menu or CHF 60 if you drop one course. There is also the opportunity to create your own menu with three days’ notice and priced at anywhere from CHF50 to the limit of one’s budget.
The wine list is quite extensive with some unusual offerings from the Valais. For Switzerland the pricing is quite reasonable.
We chose the Menu Découverte and a St Saphorin as a white and after discussions with the Owner’s wife a Minervois for the red.
As the menu changes reasonably frequently, I won’t go into too much detail. We had dishes based around sashimi grade yellow fin tuna, quail and rack of lamb. It was in discussing the details of the menu that the lack of training of the staff came to the fore. To know more about the tuna took three trips to the back, similarly to know what araignéé means for pork. This was a dish on the à la carte portion of the menu. We had never heard of it and, by the way, I still don’t know what it is in English. It is an unusual cut that the butcher normally keeps for himself because there is very little on each animal, looks a little unusual but is delicious and tender!
The quality of the cooking is very high and inventive; the tuna came with an emulsion containing white chocolate: delicious. The presentation, for us, errs on the side of being a little chi-chi. The first course came with cold smoke from dry ice, the second with fire and we expected either wind or brimstone with the third, but things settled down. We could have done with a little less of the artsy-crafty.
All in all, we enjoyed the evening and will be back but will time our visits to coincide with changes in the menu. Reservations are strongly recommended.

This place is far from anything, but it is definitely worth the mileage.
It is a 'cafè style' restaurant - neat and clean.
The husband is in the kitchen and the wife is up front. That was all, as far as staff is concerned. When I was there, on a week day, there were some 15 seats occupied and it all worked very well.
Normally for lunch they prefer to only serve the Menu du Jour, but when I arrived I asked for the a la Carte, should I decide that it was my preference. "Not a problem!"
I chose an open red wine from the Languedoc.
I never-the-less decided for the menu du Jour, but wanted to replace the starter salad with a dish from a la carte - a salad with a slice of Fois Gras Poelée and a 'deboned' half of Quail. The salad was very fresh and the Quail and Fois Gras could not be better prepared and was delicious with its' Porto Sauce.
The main course was a Roti de Porc 'filet et Jambon', served with a Potatoes and Parsnip mash and vegetables. The Roast was perfectly cooked with a sweetish Pruneau sauce, as were the vegetables, but the big taste surprise was the mash. The addition of Parsnips gave it an extremely pleasant and unusual taste.
The dessert was Poached Pears 'au safran' with a home-made Mascarpone ice cream. It was a very sophisticated mix, which was absolutely delicious and showed that the owners understand what is pleasing to the palate. (I later found out that it was the wife's - Bernadette's - creation!).
The Chef - Daniel - came around and chatted with the guests and accepted my raving compliments gracefully.
With the coffee, I had a Berutch (a wild Prune) Eau-de-Vie...and a big measure at that, which was a nice culmination of an excellent meal with good service.
5. Restaurant St-Georges

While visiting the picturesque countryside around Romont I stopped for lunch at St-Georges, which proved an excellent choice. As a café-restaurant St-Georges welcomes everybody - whether for just a few drinks in the café or a full meal in the dining room. The latter is very cozy but on the smaller side, therefore advance booking recommended.
A huge thumbs-up to the tenant lady and young waitress: both were friendly, smiling and efficient. It truly was Swiss hospitality at its best.
The à-la-carte menu is limited with focus on seasonal produce. As autumn is starting I indulged in the "Menu Chasse" - a three-course fixed menu: all portions were generous and beautifully set up.
As starter the game terrine with pistachios was truly delicious. The main course was venison medallions served with all the trimmings (red cabbage, spaetzli, poached pear). Again very tasty - meat was very tender, and served in a rich sauce. Fortunately I still had some room left for the delicious dessert: mulled wine crème brûlée.
For Swiss standards prices remain pleasantly moderate. The bill amounted to CHF75, of which CHF56 for the three-course menu. I have now saved St-Georges into my favorites!
6. Restaurant de la Gare

Lucens, where this restaurant is located, has a medieval castle including a permanent museum dedicated to Conan Doyle.
The Hotel de la Gare is a gem of a restaurant, associating haute cuisine with simple fare and authentic products. The chef has chosen to make gastronmic dishes whilst not trying to go overboard. The result are refined, well-known recipes with a particularly touch. You do not leave hungry as you sometimes do when leaving restaurants trying to go overboard. The wine liste and desserts are outstanding.
Lucens is a small village in the midst of farmland, the more suprising, which also explains the choices made by the chef.

Était-ce le mauvais soir ? Les deux pizzas étaient décevantes. La pâte bonne et bien cuite mais une marguerita avec quasiment pas de de fromage, une tarte à la tomate... et une gorgonzola sans grand goût. Le soda servi au verre était un fond de bouteille sans gaz. Seuls le vin du mois et la bonne humeur de la serveuse ont équilibré le repas. Le prix étant le même qu'ailleurs, autant aller manger une pizza ailleurs.
8. La Poularde

Reviewed By JPBCo - Le Mont-sur-Lausanne, Switzerland
Situation idéale à Romont avec une place de parc pour les véhicules. La Poularde est un grand établissement bien connu des nombreux militaires suisses qui ont stationné dans la région.
Il y a plusieurs salles dont une véranda et les aménagements sont confortables et spacieux..
L’accueil et le service sont impeccables.
La carte des menus est alléchante comme celle des vins.
Nos plats ont été les filets de perches à la meunière, l’entrecôte parisienne avec une sauce aux morilles, deux plats avec des belles garnitures et des pommes de terre allumettes. Un délicieux Œil de Perdrix remplissait nos verres puis nos gosiers. Le dessert maison du patron terminait cet excellent repas.
Tout était très bon !
Si vous êtes à Romont, prenez votre repas à La Poularde !

Pas d'indication extérieure, merci GPS. Un menu de 6 plats, 70.- change chaque mois, pas de carte. 1ère et 3ème entrée: un régal! 2ème et 4ème entrée: petit bémol, bon faut dire qu'on aime pas trop le safran et encore moins le chou rave. Le plat principal: malheureusement tiède-froid. Le dessert: rien à redire. Vin d'apéritif proposé: vin blanc aux poires: très belle surprise. 5.- le verre. Eau offerte. Dans une ferme de nos grands-parents, plafond boisé bas, fourneau à molasse.... Nous avons découvert... et sommes ravis. Belle expérience, cependant nous n'y retournerons pas... La serveuse très gentille, le patron charmant.
