Historical cafés of Lausanne

Palud square

HeritageShopping

In the centre of the square is the town’s oldest fountain, adorned with a statue representing justice. Close by, a clock presents the history of Vaud in animated scenes every hour from 9:00 to 19:00. On Wednesday and Saturday mornings this is the site of the country market, which also sets up shop in the neighbouring pedestrian streets. Every first Friday of the month, it plays host to a craft market. Typical cafes, boutiques and large, elegant shops complement what this high-class district, which is completely pedestrianised, has to offer.

La Cité

ArchitectureHistoryHeritageShopping

This is a quarter full of typical small bistros and craft shops. To the north of the Cité hill, at Place du Tunnel, avenue César-Roux avenue and Place de l’Ours, shops and quirky bistros cry out to be discovered. It is around the Cité hill, sculpted by the Flon and Louve rivers, that the mediaeval town grew. Its cobble-stoned pedestrian streets as well as its monuments, the Cathedral of Lausanne, the St-Maire Castle and the Old academy, bear witness to that.

Lausanne Cathedral

Heritage

At the heart of the old town, the majestic Lausanne Cathedral overlooks the city. Seen as one of the most beautiful gothic art monuments in Europe, it attracts more than 400,000 visitors every year.

The Lausanner recommends

Clarence the sporty spice

I love the feeling of being in the middle of town but with views of the Alps and the lake. Its location by the music conservatory of Lausanne and just up the road from the Opéra of Lausanne makes it a great stopover before enjoying some music.

Its name “Café Mozart” owes nothing to chance as it’s located on the top floor of the music conservatory, a stone’s throw from the Lausanne Opera. In a friendly setting that recalls a Parisian brasserie, you’ll savour dishes made from fresh products. On the menu: salad with warm goat cheese and honey, beef tartare, sea bream ceviche with lime or perch filets “à la meunière” (pan-fried with butter).

This establishment has been awarded the “ Café historique de Lausanne ” label established by the city of Lausanne in 2021. This new creation was conceived in the spirit of Parisian bistros of the 1900s. The establishment is located on the highest floor of the former “Shopping Galleries ” dating from 1909, since then transformed into the Conservatory of Music (hence the name Café Mozart). The Place Saint-François is right nearby, but we are far away from its hustle and bustle here, in a cosy atmosphere.
