We also serve some hot sandwiches and, from time to time, salads. Possibility to eat on the spot and on the terrace, but being so close to the lake, eating a sandwich with your feet in the water is tempting!

Built in a former chapel, the café-restaurant de la Valsainte opened its doors in 1890.

We recommend the place for the contemporary setting, and for the very well prepared fish. And all this with your feet in the water in the tropics of Geneva!

An air of guinguette on the Rhône, deckchairs that invite you to take a lazy break. We wait for it to open at the beginning of each season.

The restaurant specializes in churrasco, grilled or barbecued meat. We start with a salad bar, then the waiters come by with a variety of meats. It's up to you to choose the type of meat you want. An air of Brazil and fourteen varieties of meat for the rodizio gaucho!

Café du Simplon is actually two establishments in one. On one side, the trendy Mediterranean cuisine restaurant, very refined, with immaculate walls and raw wooden floors. But this place is no less friendly, especially in summer when the terrace gives a village festival atmosphere to this district under the station. The menu includes both meat dishes from the neighbouring butcher's shop as well as fish delivered daily and vegetarian dishes, with specialities that are dear to the owner of Macedonian origin. On the other hand, the bistro to have good beers.

Blaqk offers a home delivery service covering some 60 dishes and beverages, including a wide selection of hamburgers, sandwiches, and even caviar. The products are distinguished by their freshness - the bread on the hamburgers is 100% home-made - and the service is fast. Its dips and aperitif dinners are popular with companies. Finally, a small terrace and a dozen or so place settings inside allow for on-site catering in a contemporary and pleasant setting. Fresh fruit juices designed in front of you are also available.

The ideal place to enjoy brasserie and local dishes at reasonable prices. The menu features fondues, casseroles, malakoffs, burgers, bavettes de boeuf, choucroutes garnies... This restaurant was already in existence in 1912, when it was a stopover for stagecoach drivers on their way to France. The decor, barely changed, may seem a little old-fashioned today. But the walls, if they could talk, would tell you some very funny stories! Traditional atmosphere guaranteed.

Ah, to spend a pleasant evening at the theater, enhanced before or after the show by a fine dinner! The setting is very pleasant, with a well thought-out design, cosy in winter and a lovely shady terrace, away from the urban frenzy, on summer evenings.

Only a hundred metres from the lake shore, in a small street like Ascona has the secret, here is a very special place.

For example: for the starter, mixed salad as well as salami and mortadella served on a wooden board, then for the main course, veal with mushroom sauce and polenta, followed by cheese.

A good address for a copious and tasty meal. The welcome is simple but warm

The image is atypical, but it allows to quickly locate, from far, this Peruvian restaurant. Two llamas - life size - announce the terrace of this establishment. A journey where we set course for Peru to enjoy delicious specialties of the country like an excellent ceviche or a lomo saltado, the specialty of beef fillet sautéed in vinegar. Prices a little bit high for a student district, but we are in Geneva. Good reception, we leave towards Cuzco, the sacred valley of the Incas or the Machu Picchu by the thought and we dream of our next trip!

Looking for iodized air? A small corner of Brittany in the Acacias. The tone is set with the terrace all blue and white and the marine decoration: fishing net, lighthouse and miniature boat, and even the beach under the glass tables! But it is in the salted buckwheat pancakes, accompanied by a salad, and the sweet wheat pancakes that the whole Armorique flavour is nestled. This restaurant has changed owners several times and we hope that quality will remain the priority of the place.

Choulex is a small picturesque village, very pleasant to cycle along the river. Here we don't cheat with the overrated cuisine.
