"Maybe it was designed with Chaplin's life in mind, essentially a three dish menu is perhaps not worthy of a restaurant. More fitting for a cafeteria. To mark Chaplin's humble London origins; fish and chips. Nice thick pieces of fish, with broad golden chips served with a tartar sauce. Simple. Tasty. A good sized portion. In memory of his American life: a hamburger. The meat was tasty, but the bun.... Europeans in general need to understand that baguette like bread will never make a decent burger bun. Then for the last 25 years of his life in Switzerland: a mac-n-cheese "savoyard". Consists of penne, ham/bacon (lardons) and probably a mix of gruyere and vacherin cheese. The first few bites were tasty, but then one just got ovewhelmed and sickened by the saltiness of it all. There were 2 salads on offering. We had the Ceasar. It was a good portion, but nothing special.Though the menu had ample desert choices, we did not stay as the main course...left something to be desired in the taste, but also the service. The place was overwhelmed, though it was Sunday at 14:30, we got the sense that the staff were just looking forward to seeing the back of us so they could shut the place down...of course, this is typical of Switzerland where thye have yet to discover "all day dinning" and will open a restaurant precisely from noon to 14:00 and too bad if you were not hungry during that short window. Frankly, the snack bar on the first floor seemed to offer more choices. This is too bad since the Chaplin's World museum is very well done. The food offering leaves a rather bad taste in your mouth after such a good visit."
