A garden hidden in the heart of Lausanne just below our beautiful cathedral! When the days are warm, nothing beats enjoying a snack board of quality cheeses and cold meats, together with a glass of wine or a local craft beer. One tip: get there early as there’s always a crowd jostling to get a table in this highly popular spot.

This establishment has been awarded the “ Café historique de Lausanne ” label established by the city of Lausanne in 2021. Both a café and the home of the Helvetia student society, the “Vieux Lau” still resembles its 1920 and 1950 layout. The place’s interest is emphasised by the presence of furniture and objects linked to the student society that has been headquartered there for close to a century. The house, adjacent to the Escaliers du Marché, provides a landmark in the City Quarter.
