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.

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.

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.

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.

Café Romand is one of the historical Vaudois brasseries. It is on Place St-François in the heart of downtown Lausanne and just around the corner from the lively Flon quarter.

Café Romand is very popular with visitors who would like to taste traditional dishes and with Lausanne city dwellers who love traditional brasseries. The decoration is reminiscent of La Belle Epoque.

The generous servings of the brasserie-type meat and offal dishes will appeal to meat lovers. The dishes of the day are good value for money. The desserts reflect the rest of the menu card: rich and tastefully traditional. Those who wish to enjoy a glass of wine with their meal are spoilt for choice.

This establishment has been awarded the “ Café historique de Lausanne ” label established by the city of Lausanne in 2021. A key establishment in the city, with all the substance from 1951 still in place: the countertop, the window displays linked to local organisations, the paintings…
