Based on 286 reviews

Café du Port in Rolle is widely appreciated for its picturesque lakeside location and charming terrace overlooking the water, offering a pleasant dining atmosphere. The restaurant’s specialty perch fillets, typically served with meunière sauce, fries, and a light salad, are consistently praised for their quality and taste, often described as a standout dish in the region. While the food is generally regarded as well-prepared and flavorful, some reviewers note that the wine selection by the glass is average and not particularly memorable. Service is commonly described as friendly and efficient, enhancing the overall dining experience. However, a few guests feel that the pricing leans toward the higher side relative to the portion sizes and overall value. Overall, Café du Port is recognized for delivering a satisfying culinary experience centered on its signature fish dishes, combined with a relaxed, scenic setting by the lake.

I have travelled the world extensively over 40 years. I ate at all restaurants ranging from pop & mom’s to Michelin three stars. This is my honest review of Café du Port in Rolle. Nested close to the lake, this restaurant focuses on perch fillets, with meunière sauce and french fries as well as a (small) green salad appetizer. You cannot go wrong with this restaurant as they do well what what they specialize on. Also had a mushroom toast as appetizer which was good but unnecessary ultimately considering the large portion of fish as main.

Nice little eatery for club members but not only. The terrace is built out over the water and you have beautiful views over the lake and harbor. Food is OK, wine by the glass (labelled red, white or rosö) not particularly good but relatively cheap. Overall not particularly good value for money.

The best filet de perche et frites that I've tried in Switzerland!

We visiting this place for lunch and had their speciality: fish fillets with fries. There was a nice salad to start. The fish fillets are served in a butter sauce and were delicious. The fries were great: crisp, but not dry. You get two plates — we we're almost full after the first. It's not cheap (46 CHF) but it was fun to try. The service was very fast and friendly.

Fantastic perch fillets, as always, in an idyllic lake-side setting, in the shade, on the terrace with a chilled bottle of local white wine. What more can you ask for?

Excellent filet de perche but not the cheapest. But probably quality comes at a price. By far the best filet I had lately. Booking recommended as well known in the area.

Excellent for the local specialty which is "filets de perche". They are prepared to perfection and the sauce that goes with the dish is a dream.
