Try the potato cake! Buddha bowl wasn't that great - Edit
I really like the little potato cake (savory, not sweet), something I didn't know before that was was a good starter. The buddha bowl on the other hand was fine, but didn't rock my world.

Original, quality and, above all, delicious food - Edit
Racines has its own take on PB food, bringing together various ingredients into wonderful dishes.
Read moreWe had the plat du jour, which was a pulled mushroom bao (wrap) with delicious mushrooms in a BBQ sauce and a topinambour sauce on the side.
Our other dish was a mushroom & carrot quiche. I wish that the slice had been bigger, as it was smooth and tasty. It came with a raw vegetable soup made with courgette, cucumber and fennel that was very refreshing and 'honest'.
We had a dirty chai latte that was excellent, although our favourite is still the one served by Zeitgeist in Lyon. The visual presentation of this drink by Racines stands out, though.
The hot chocolate was also very good and balanced. A chocolate lover may want a bit more cacao in it, but for me it was perfect.
Racines offers a wide variety of sweet and savoury pastries that we have ordered as take-away and have still to savour.
Racines' food reminds us a bit of Hong Kong-based vegan French chef Tina Barrat, with its focus on raw and semi-raw products that stand out for their freshness and quality.
Lausanne is richer and more attractive as a place to visit because of Racines. 😀
Pros: Atmosphere and interior, Wide variety of choices, Quality and taste of the food
Cons: Not cheap (welcome to Switzerland!)

Cute little vegan spot - Edit
Perfect cute little vegan spot for a quick snack on a long day. Got a slice of quiche and a muffin. The crust of the quiche was delicious and the muffin pleasantly tart. Staff was friendly and brought the food out to me on really cute plates.

Lots to choose from. - Edit
Not being very hungry we only had a small lunch here but afterwards took a very large goody bag back to our accommodation for dinner.
Read moreThere was lots of choice, both savoury and sweet.
All the seating is of the high variety which I’m not a fan of but apart from that everything was fab 🙂

Always great food, cakes and coffee - Edit
Delicious lunches and cakes. My personal favorite is the matcha latte. At 6chf, it's a bit pricy but you definitely get what you pay for. Highly recommend if you are in Lausanne!

Quaint Cafe with Amazing Vegan Food - Edit
Great little cafe in Lausanne with an all-vefan menu, which is tough to find in Switzerland. We had the Open Burger that hosted a lentil/sweet potato patty with roasted veggies sitting atop cashew cheese. It came with a delicious side salad. Everything was delicious! Definitely recommend!

Farmers market stand on Saturdays - Edit
We tried one of the desserts offered at the brick-and-mortar establishment’s Saturday Market stand. The dessert was raw in its sensibility, and had a different taste than traditionally baked vegan counterparts. The employee overseeing the stand explained how the desserts were made, and dine-in and takeaway options at the nearby flagship restaurant.

Rooting for Racines - Edit
Racines has a large selection of delicious looking vegan / plant-based snacks. I tried their vegan sandwich (black bread with smoked carrots, avocado and zucchini CHF 7.-) and their cranberry cookie (CHF 4.-). They were good and I’m definitely coming back to try other dishes.

Déçu - Edit
J'ai testé ce restaurant full végan et j'ai été déçu. J'avais choisi une part de quiche aux légumes avec un jus pressé Peach Ginger. Je n'ai pas aimé la pâte de la quiche et le jus était très fort en gingembre, je ne sentais même pas la carotte et la pêche. Mon copain avait choisi le sandwich focaccia avocat et lui non plus n'a pas aimé, il a trouvé que le pain était trop épais. Après les plats sont vraiment beau esthétiquement, mais le goût l'est moins.
