"The owner, Fong, loves her cooking and is happy to share the flavours and tastes of her home country. This is evident in the food she offers which is always fresh just made and authentic. Dont mistake Lotus for a restaurant, it isn 't, it caters for the lunchtime throng of hungry students and local office workers motivated by gurgling stomachs seeking something different at a good price and Fong more than meets this expectation. Lotus serves up Vietnamese flavored sandwiches and a minimalist lunchtime wok menu (rice noodle dishes) but don 't let this deter you. Everything that comes out of her kitchen tastes great! At one time, she also took lunch orders in advance and prepared them to be delivered just before lunch to the company reception, but I think those days are over. Mind you, if you and your fellow office workers along Perolles Boulevard or in the vicinity haven 't tried Lotus yet, you should. She speaks English and is always happy to serve, which in Switzerland is often a rare trait!"

"Perhaps the most iconic bar is representative of university life. In addition to excellent beers, it also offers various dishes for lunch, dinner or on points. Personally I recommend their burgers with excellent quality meat and accompanied by a salad and fries with ketchup or mayonnaise. There are also many options for vegetarians and/or vegans. To make you a little less hungry, it is also possible to order these burgers in a small version"

"We went to this restaurant on a Thursday evening... We were greeted with a suspicious look by a waitress asking us if we had a reservation. We were impressed: wow, this place must be popular... We were told to sit at a table that was...not set and was near the kitchen. So far, no problem. We did not have reservations, after all. And then, we waited. Finally, we were able to order an aperitif while looking at the menu. And then, we waited... After some time twiddling our thumbs, we ordered entrecotes. And then, we waited... The steaks ultimately arrived; nothing special, just a plain steak swimming in way too much beurre cafe de Paris. We finished our meal and wanted to order some dessert. So, we waited... We ordered a creme brulee. And we waited. That creme brulee was actually tasteless. I don 't know how a restaurant can screw up a creme brulee... So we decided to pay and go... And we waited, and waited. The restaurant was far from full. But the waiter and waitress were rushing around paying little attention to us. We asked ourselves if we actually had turned invisible... Finally, we were freed, thank God! This was not a terrible, awful, no good experience. It was just a profound disappointment. Mediocre food at an extravagant price."

"Oh little I knew before ordering the 'café glacé ' as a dessert. But first things first. La Cena is an Italian restaurant in Marly, a 14 minute bus ride away from Fribourg train station. The first impression after being seated: casual, welcoming, not crowded nor empty, very relaxed atmosphere. Perfect to spend a nice evening. Since it 's autumn, I opted for 'la chasse ', wild duck to be more precise and fagottini to start. Both dishes were delicious and highly recommended. All of this combined with a bottle of devilish Pinot Noir called Lucifer. But after all the good food there was still this temptation... for that little extra. Tiramisu... or café glacé... hmm tiramisu... maybe.. no, let 's keep that for next time. By the way, thanks to the friendly waitress to be so patient while I was going through my lengthy decision process. But hey, café glacé it was... but the little extra turned out to be a very big extra. Oh, generous they are, and struggling I was... but I succeeded in eating it all...mmm. I even found some space left for a limoncello... or two. Overall, a very pleasant experience. So if you 're in the neighborhood of Fribourg/Marly and want to have some tasty food in a casual setting: La Cena is definitely worth a visit. Update: Ok, I really had to try the tiramisu. So I went back. Obviously, not just to eat a dessert but also to try another dish. This time I opted for a piece of Pumba (a.k.a. 'sanglier ' or a wild well, not so wild anymore once served on a plate p|g) and risotto as a starter. As expected, both dishes were really good. Although I personally preferred the wild duck which I had last time. Regardless, I don 't think you can make any bad choices when it comes to 'la chasse '. But back to that tiramisu... well, for sure it 's less of a challenge compared to the huge café glacé. Even better, I think I need to stop claiming that I don 't like tiramisu 'tout court '. The chef of la Cena has proven that I actually do like it... I just wished it had the same size of the café glacé because... it 's delicious! Update 14.02.2023: The food at La Cena is consistently good, tasty, original Also for special menus like the one on Valentine’s day. Already looking forward to the next visit."

"L'ambiance y est chaleureuse, mais il est vrai que l'établissement fonctionne principalement grâce au site realdeals. La nourriture est bonne sans être exceptionnelle mais on peut dire qu'on en a pour notre argent. Le personnel est très sympa par contre. Il est vrai qu'en augmentant un peu les quantités dans les assiettes ou en améliorant la qualité, cela serait un plus..."
