The Bistrot du Soldat
A unique place for your moments of sharing
Located at the heart of the tour route, this place steeped in history exudes a friendly atmosphere.
The former commander of the fort had named this place Konkordiaplatz, by analogy with the Aletsch Glacier and its Konkordiaplatz.
This intersection, where four corridors met, was the only space in the Fort large enough to hold the morning assembly and carry out “internal service” (maintenance of weapons and personal effects).
Information
The Bistrot du Soldat reopens on Thursday 2 April 2026! A new menu: simpler, but just as delicious as ever.
The Bistrot is open at weekends, except during school holidays. During the Vaud school holidays, the Bistrot is open every day.
At Le Bistrot du Soldat, the tables are arranged in the same way as they were in the old days, when soldiers used to eat their meals here. You will find mainly two-seater tables. If necessary, we can add an extra stool to each table to accommodate one more guest.
It is also the ideal venue for groups (of 20 or more) wishing to organise a coffee and croissant break or a pre-dinner drink to complement a visit to the Fort de Chillon Museum.
