About The Greek Project - Lausanne

Welcome to The Greek Project - Lausanne, a delightful café tucked away at Rue Marterey 1/3, 1005 Lausanne, Switzerland. This charming establishment captures the essence of Greek cuisine while offering a cozy escape for coffee lovers and food enthusiasts alike.

The café is primarily designed for takeout, yet it exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere with a snug seating for four inside, perfect for a quick coffee break or enjoying delectable pastries. The menu boasts a range of enticing options that showcase the vibrant flavors of Greece. Whether you're in the mood for a souvlaki wrap, available in chicken, pork, or a delightful meatless option, or perhaps you prefer a heartier meal like the gyros plate, each dish promises a satisfying experience. The Mama's moussaka stands out too, a classic dish bursting with layers of flavor that will transport your palate straight to the Mediterranean.

Also, don’t miss the chance to try their Greek poke bowl—a fresh and nourishing option loaded with chicken slices and vibrant veggies. The café’s commitment to quality ingredients shines through in every bite, but be mindful of your selections; some dishes have seen fluctuating reviews regarding consistency. While some customers rave about the seasoning and texture, others have pointed out minor mishaps with preparation. For a sweet finish, treat yourself to homemade delights like the portokalopita (orange sponge cake) or the rich Kormos, a wrapped chocolate creation that promises to be a guilty pleasure.

But The Greek Project isn’t just about food; it’s an experience enhanced by the delightful beverages they serve. The café showcases a fine range of specialty coffees that don’t disappoint—like the praised V60 Mexican bean coffee that leaves a lasting impression on your taste buds, as highlighted by enthusiastic patrons.

We loved it :) it’s mostly takeout, they only have a table for four inside, but the food was really nice. The pork is better than the chicken imo. The Greek poke bowl was hearty and felt healthy.

Second time Tried the souvlaki within a month and they had increased the price by 2 CHF and the quality wasn't as good as the first time. We picked up the food, it was not uber eats. The tzatziki was too watery and the souvlaki was missing condiments and salt and the pitas where over heated (burned at the edges). The souvlaki was still descent but not as good as the first time we tried. Also the price went from 9.50 to 11.50. They only have gyro (porc and chicken). Reduced from 5 stars to 4. To the owners: Don't sacrifice quality for profits!

We ordered coffee + matcha latte and we were delighted with what we got. Very flavorful and yummy! Highly recommended. Very kind, patient, and professional staff. They offer a variety of drink options and cakes. It is a cosy place but it is not too big. Reasonable prices for the high quality they offer. Overall, very recommended!

The Greek Project Café exceeded my expectations! I tried the V60 Mexican bean, and it was phenomenal. The barista's expertise shone through in every sip, showcasing the rich, nuanced flavors of the coffee. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a quality brew. Highly recommend this café to any coffee enthusiast!

Always been a Greek food fan and more specifically, the infamous Greek Souvlaki. Impressive Chicken souvlaki right here in Lausanne. They only do chicken or pork so I tried both. Bread was authentic and the fillings were well balanced with sauce chicken and good amount of meat. Only thing I could say to make it perfect would be more tzatziki sauce inside. That’s just my preference. 5 stars given coz the proprietors I assume were so nice and friendly and gave me a side of sauce FOC. The iced coffee and cappuccino were unique as well and I ordered a side of fries which were well seasoned Greek style. Good job guys

We visited this very nice cafe on a day trip in Lausanne. The service was really good and fast. The coffee was very well prepared and the snacks are very tasty. We will definitely visit again and I do recommend you to get out of your way and try it.

Everyone. Go here. It’s so good. Authentic Greek, and there are gluten free options for people with wheat allergies or celiac. I had the chicken plate with potatoes and a tomato salad. It’s huge and delicious. It’s definitely a small venue, and your chances of getting a table will be slim. Coffee bar is legit, too. Go here!
