Where?

This historic brasserie, the meeting place of regular customers, serves traditional Swiss specialities such as “papet vaudois”, half-and-half fondue, as well as a large choice of wines from the region.

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.
