Remote working in Lausanne: set up your laptop at the Étoile Blanche 💻

Tired of going round in circles between your desk and your living room? We've got good news for you: L'Étoile Blanche welcomes you for your remote working days, right in the heart of Lausanne.

Change of scene, without change of pace

No offices to rent or subscriptions here, simply a cosy and quiet corner in our historic café-restaurant on Place Benjamin-Constant, where you can set up your laptop and get on with your projects in a different atmosphere. Sometimes, all it takes is a change of scenery to regain focus and fresh ideas.

And when the sun's out? If there's still room, our terrace awaits you. Working with a view of Place Benjamin-Constant and a cappuccino within easy reach, it's a nice change from video calls in the kitchen.

Practical Information

You are most welcome. Monday to Friday, 8.30 am to 5.30 pm. No need to book: just turn up, settle in, and get to work. Ask our team for the Wi-Fi and get ready for a «full focus» work session.

Three simple rules for everyone to feel comfortable:

  • A minimum consumption is requested; And between our coffees, juices, and menu, you won't be short of something to treat yourself to.
  • No picnic; The kitchen will look after you, I promise.
  • Headphones required for your calls; No speakerphone calls or music playing, out of respect for your table neighbours.

Why work from a café-restaurant?

Because between working from home and the open-plan office, there is a third way: a lively yet peaceful place, where you can power through hours of concentration, take a proper lunch break without changing locations, and enjoy a setting that has character. The gentle hum of a cafe, a good espresso, the light from the square – there are worse working conditions.
