Restaurant La Couronne d’Or

We enjoyed a plat du jour here twice for lunch. They have a good selection of Lausanne based microbreweries including one in the basement of their building, Brasserie ¨Les Fleurs du Malt¨. I really enjoyed this excellent artisanal beer along with my cheese plate. Everyone was super nice and friendly and we ended up talking to our neighbors both times. Students were studying for final exams while I enjoyed my beer.
Seems to attract a graduate school student group along with young professionals. Food is well prepared and healthy. Close to the M2 Riponne stop for easy access. We trained in from Rivaz in around 30 minutes. What a relaxing way to spend an afternoon. So friendly.

Un véritable café où l’on peut venir boire un verre même à l’heure du souper — la sélection de boissons est d’ailleurs originale et variée. Et que dire de cet emplacement si particulier, à l’abris de la circulation et de la foule… Ajoutez à cela un intérieur à l’ancienne, une terrasse fleurie et une super équipe: bons moments garantis!

Very chill and well hidden little bar in the center of Lausanne! Perfect to take a girl on a date (if the girl is a little more on the posh side I suggest Le Comptoir, which is not too far! :)). They have various food apéro items such as meat and cheese plateaux and a good beer selection!

Un petit bistrot «dans son jus», tenu par une équipe jeune et sympathique !
Le comptoir à l’ancienne, la petite cheminée, les bancs et les tables en bois ont été usés par des générations de clients et les lavages successifs, ce qui leur donne à mes yeux une grande douceur et un charme fou. La carte est réduite coté miam miam, mais c’est très bon ! (assiette de jambon, vieux gruyère…). Et quotidiennement un plat du jour simple.
A savourer par contre, le grand choix de boissons: limonades tessinoises, eau pétillante Arkina, sirops locaux…

I love la Couronne d’Or, tiny café hidden behind the very ugly 60s building facing the place de la Riponne. I used to be a regular but not any longer, having spent a few years abroad. La Couronne d’Or serves the best croissant au jambon (ham croissants) and pain au chocolat (chocolate croissant) in the whole of Lausanne. They get it from a tiny bakery on the countryside, and damn are they delicious!
What I like about the Couronne d’Or is the student, hobo, young parents style, although sometimes it can get quite noisy.
La Couronne d’Or is more of a café than a restaurant but they serve snacks, nutella tartines, or planchettes (cold meat served with pickles and onions). They serve a specialty from the Valais region Val D’Anniviers, spicy dried sausage. It’s delicious, definitely have a try. They sometimes suggest soup for lunch, but I haven’t been in a while.
They sometimes organize BBQ nights, concerts and fondue-​anorak nights (in winter), always heard good things about these special events.
The staff is very friendly, sometimes a little overworked, but I never complained. I think they have free WiFi.

petit restau sympa pour le café, 4 heures et sa terrasse urbaine.

Clearly one of the nicest, friendliest and relaxed places to go for a pression in the heart of Lausanne. This unpretentious little haunt is packed with oaken tables and chairs around a homely theme devoted to Frog Princes in general (hence that golden crown in the title). Frequented mostly by Switzerland’s hoard of young architects and graphic designers, most people in here will know eachother, and if they don’t — it won’t take long
