Finally tried this classic establishment in Lausanne and it did not disappoint The classic cordon bleu was generous with interesting parsnip purée and the beef entrecôte was refreshing especially with the chimichurri sauce. Our personal favorite was the sweet potato fries, it was worth it to add-on!
In the evening the place can be a bit dark, but staff was attentive and helpful to turn on the light a bit when we asked :)
Will definitely come back to try other dishes on the menu!
Had an incredible dinner at Étoile Blanche! We kicked things off with the beef tartare crostini, chicken tenders, and croquettes. Everything was delicious, especially the sauces which are clearly made in-house and full of flavor.
For the main, I had the Cordon Bleu that was honestly the best I’ve ever had. It was perfectly cooked and beautifully plated. We finished with the fondant au chocolate which is essentially a chocolate lava cake, which was rich, decadent, and featured some truly impressive presentation.
Beyond the food, the wait staff were so kind and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!
Tried Feuilleté Forestière and vanilla crème brûlée at Étoile Blanche today.
The Feuilleté Forestière was a vol-au-vent style dish with mushrooms, a poached egg, herb-infused oil, foam, and champignons des bois, served with persillade. It was quite good and very much in a classic brasserie style, comforting and nicely executed.
The vanilla crème brûlée was delicious, with a well-caramelized top and a creamy custard underneath. I really enjoyed it.
Overall, a typical brasserie experience with good service and reasonable brasserie-style prices. The food menu choices were somewhat limited, though there were plenty of drink options available. A nice place to visit once in a while..
After a week in Italy and passing through town, I couldn’t pass up the terrace and the opportunity to eat something that wasn’t pasta…
Wow. I always have high expectations but usually expect just about anything when I drop in somewhere unfamiliar and new. I was BLOWN AWAY by the Chicken Cordon Bleu dish that I ordered at the servers recommendation. Usually I would have gone for the burger and kept it simple, but I’m so glad I didn’t.
On top of that, such a lovely and lively spot. The beers come out quickly and the servers went above and beyond in making it an even better experience.
I’m not sure I’ll find myself in Lausanne again, but I will surely recommend this spot. I’ll also be dreaming about that chicken for the years to come!
Nice place with good food variety. The staffs were friendly. We wanted to order 2 type if starter but the other one was not available.
The staff was kind enough to initiate to have our order with one extra piece of eggplant
Good option if you are around the city.
