A stone’s throw from the lakeside, local customers and tourists mingle in this restaurant open every day, eating a fondue, röstis or … a generous and perfectly crispy outside and tender inside cordon-bleu. Simply delicious.

Already the exterior of the narrow building of Café du Vieil Ouchy is charming. The exposed beams, wooden furniture, welcoming staff and delicious smells of cheese fondue - one of its specialties - make you want to linger. In sunny weather, you may prefer to sit outside on the terrace, at a stone’s throw from Lake Geneva.
Cheese fondues are the café’s mainstay, but you can also try other specialities such as “cordon bleu” or Lake Geneva perch fillets. The waiters are fine connoisseurs of our regional wines. They also warmly recommend their star dessert: meringues with double cream.
This establishment has been awarded the “Café historique de Lausanne” label established by the City of Lausanne in 2021. An iconic café for tourists and Lausanners both which belongs to the very picturesque block of the old village of Ouchy. Characteristic of the long and narrow café layout.
