The best Swiss restaurants Switzerland

Switzerland's cheese star is widely honoured in this restaurant. As its name suggests, an establishment dedicated to Fribourg specialities and Gruyère products. In a room decorated in a typical mountain style, meat and especially cheese dishes are served here. The local fondues are considered to be the best in Geneva. The various fondue dishes on offer range from the half and half fondue (a mixture of Gruyère cheese and Fribourg vacherin) to the goat's cheese fondue.

Are you tempted by an escapade in the Alps, city version? The smell of melted cheese will make your mouth water as soon as you enter the Gruyérien. On the table, the fondue machines are an invitation to Swiss gastronomic pleasure. The decoration in red and grey tones brings a very contemporary touch. The tradition is found in the plate with all the regional specialities: half and half fondue (vacherin and gruyère), cheese crusts, meringues and double cream, tart with cooked wine..

An address not to be missed. The best address in terms of quality/price ratio and a must for small budgets. The meals are excellent for an exceptionally low price for Geneva. You can enjoy one of the best fondues in town. In the evening, it is imperative to reserve a table by phone. The buvette is worth a stop for its splendid setting, its unique atmosphere, its swimming, its concerts in summer and its cultural and sports activities.

One of the best fondues in Geneva! This café seems to have an ancient history, because on its sign, you can read, "1824 - on foot and on horseback". The cheese dishes are exquisite: malakoffs, pan-fried tommes vaudoises, and of course the famous Gruyère AOC cheese fondue. As good as it is, the fondue does not satisfy all palates, which is why other suggestions are proposed: the cream of pumpkin of the country, the fillet of féra du lac to be tasted on a terrace. All in all, the Swiss gastronomic panoply to try before leaving Geneva.
