Always heard since childhood called "Café Romand," which is an institution in Lausanne share his typical style with a woodland setting of a bygone era and its typical dishes including the famous cheese fondue. And yet I had never yet set foot. Especially given the fact that the bar meals are not my cup of tea for my stomach or... More

From my point of view the interior is a disaster. But I could say that about most places I visited in Switzerland. The place is pretty alive and their fondue is delicious (23CHF, ehm). The service wasn't the best, but still was nice. I can say that I'd go there again and I can recommend it for their food and... More

I used to live in Lausanne and I've been coming back to this restaurant time and time again. It has a great feeling too it and when it fills up with customers it just buzzes. The dried meat is superb. I always order the house cheese fondue and I am never disappointed. (And I always eat too much.) If you... More

This restaurant might have the atmosphere of the great "brasseries vaudoises", but the food we had was just average and the service was very improvable for Swiss standards (which tend to be very high). Given the size and the acustics of the place, expect to have a very noisy meal.

The kitchen is open all day and until midnight. This restaurant is not the beat for local cuisine, but very convenient for its schedule!

This is the second time I have been to Cafe Romand. On both occasions they got the order wrong. I found the service offhand and not attentive. Two of my friends had to send back their meals, pork, because it was not properly cooked. When it was returned, it had clearly been reheated, the same portion. It was difficult to... More

I had lunch drying my short stay in Lausanne and this is a very busy place for lunch. I must admit that food was quite good but service is just ok and as everything else in Switzerland it is pretty expensive.
