NAGOMI

Japanese restaurant €€€
5/5
1 review

You will find or discover here the same flavors as in Japan. Behind the counter, in the center of the room, Masa-san prepares the dishes in front of you at the rhythm of the orders, a guarantee of freshness and a real show. You can enjoy excellent sushi, real tempura, and also ramen, the specialty of the island of Hokkaido, in northern Japan. This popular dish consists of noodles bathed in a rich broth. The cuisine is excellent, the prices are accordingly high, but the quality of the dishes more than compensates for this. Reservations are essential.

L'ENVERS DU DÉCOR

World cuisine restaurant €€
5/5
1 review

L'Envers du décor takes us behind the scenes of a theater play where the "technical team" presents us with very tasty culinary creations! It unveils an unusual decor where industrial frames raise the large curtains of the ceiling. The bar seems to come straight out of a theater set and the furniture of the large hall makes this place very lively. One will be surprised by the fish which are prepared like monkfish in curry. Depending on arrival, it is possible to have the first taste of perch 100 % Lake Geneva (rare in Geneva).

SAM-LOR THAI

Thai restaurant €€
5/5
1 review

When we pass the door of Sam-Lor, we are in total immersion in Northern Thailand: Asian sculptures, perched niches promote escape. A trip to the countries of the monks who are faithful servants of Buddha. The tasting dish gives you a glimpse of the finesse of the subtly spiced cuisine with a salad of soy sprouts and hearts of palm, homemade shrimp fritters. The delicate flavours continue with main courses such as cashew nut stir-fry (meat of your choice) or Thai basil leaves.

5/5
1 review

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..

BUVETTE DES BAINS DES PÂQUIS

Swiss restaurant
4.5/5
2 reviews
Closed - Open to 07h00

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.

CAFÉ DU GRÜTLI

One of our favorite places in Geneva and a great way to round off an evening after a good film, the Maison des Arts du Grütli brings together a cinema, a theater, a dance studio and the café, which also doubles as an exhibition hall. Its walls and ceiling are adorned with original works of art, creating a cosmopolitan atmosphere. The menu features dishes inspired by spicy, vegan, vegetarian and carnivore cuisine from the four corners of the globe. The restaurant takes great care in the presentation of its dishes. Recommended.

CAFÉ DU SOLEIL

Swiss restaurant €€
4.3/5
4 reviews

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.

The Lexicon is an essential address for gourmets. When Chefs transmit all their passion, their know-how, it gives a renowned restaurant and a famous cuisine. The chef Cyrille Montanier wishes to offer you excellence with a refined, inventive and constantly renewed cuisine. His career with great chefs such as Bocuse and Rochat and his journey as a journeyman have given him a beautiful mastery of the culinary art, such as the famous hare à la Royale, which requires a long preparation but is worth the detour.

L’ESQUISSE

World cuisine restaurant €€
4/5
2 reviews

Gilding, mirrors, false ceilings and a bar "à la Parisienne" dating back to the 1940s, as the managers of the establishment claim. The whole place is a cozy setting to devour a meat grilled with a special technique, halfway between the oven and the grill to improve the cooking and the flavor of the meats. It is "charcoal grilled Jasper version", the famous "magic" cooking. It's serious: we offer a chateaubriand for two, ham on the bone, a T-bone, a rib of beef of 1 kg... Menus according to the seasons, refined cuisine.

It was at Geneva Airport that the first Montreux Jazz Café was created. A largely unpublished video archive of the Montreux Jazz Festival, which welcomes 250,000 people every year, punctuates the days of this place dedicated to music. At the back of the stage, the "live" concerts on the giant screen guarantee a lively meal. From the kitchen open to the hall come finger food dishes such as the BB Burger, contemporary dishes such as fish & chips of perch fillet or specialities in homage to Claude such as tagliatelle with morel mushrooms.

Simple, good value! One of Geneva's few moderately-priced restaurants, offering excellent value for money in a cosy setting. The wood-clad façade invites you in. Retro, this little café can be both intimate and family-friendly. Choose from a variety of delicious pasta dishes or a good salad, all at a price that won't blow your budget. Hearty, tasty dishes, warm surroundings and an excellent welcome. The restaurant also organizes concerts, a good opportunity to stop in for a cocktail. Recommended address.

It's a place to feast and soak up the unique atmosphere of Geneva. For Sunday late risers, the Remor offers breakfast and brunch. What's more, the Remor regularly lends its walls to painters.

LE MOSAIQUE

Ethiopian restaurant
4/5
1 review

A small and discreet restaurant that hides a basic decor but is nevertheless an excellent address for Ethiopian specialties. One eats there with the fingers and all in the same plate, which remains to be avoided for the first meetings of lovers but proves to be of a great conviviality between friends. Only two dishes are offered, a vegetarian dish (lentils, salad, spinach) and beef kulwa served with its garnish on a large galette. The quality is surely better than in many of the more sought-after restaurants.

A little taste of the land that titillates you? What could be more genuine than a bistro atmosphere in an authentic Geneva setting? Renowned for its smooth and creamy fondues prepared in the purest tradition. The specialities of the house give pride of place to cheese dishes such as cheese crusts and cheese steaks. For heretics who don't like melted cheese, the place also offers cabbage sausages. When deep Switzerland invites itself to the end of the lake, it's an invitation to honour!

RESTAURANT DU PARC DES BASTIONS

World cuisine restaurant €€

1 review

An attractive location in the heart of the Parc des Bastions: this establishment offers a beautiful setting at the foot of the old town. In summer, the lovely terrace under the century-old chestnut trees is the perfect place to take a break in the shade, to enjoy Swiss nibbles such as tomme vaudoise, a slate of dried meats and other snacks. A good stop-off point for summer concerts. That said, the last time I checked, service was spotty...

An air of Lisbon while enjoying excellent Portuguese specialties, such as a good caldo verde, bolinhos de bacalhau or the famous feijoada brasileira, a unique Brazilian specialty. The famous bacalhau - cod - can be found at the end of the world in the restaurants of Macau. We find ourselves in the heart of Portugal, we could almost feel saudade, the famous nostalgia typical of the country. Simple and good gastronomy.

COTTAGE CAFÉ

World cuisine restaurant
3.5/5
4 reviews

With its panoramic view over the lake, the restaurant is especially worth a visit in summer to enjoy the terrace. In winter, on the other hand, the site can be noisy under the glass roof, but very pleasant in the shade under the parasols on sunny days. Facing the monument to Brunswick, a true dandy and colorful character who bequeathed his entire fortune (22 million gold francs in 1873) for a monument dedicated to him, the Cottage Café is a charming spot for lunch in the heart of Geneva. There's no better place to recharge your batteries.

It's the name of the fish of the founder of these three franchises in France and Switzerland, not the name of a character from a Marcel Carné film! The gastronomy is of American influence, offering the unavoidable tuna and avocado sandwiches, burgers, French toasts, pancakes, waffles, cheesecakes, carrot cakes... In a subdued and muffled atmosphere, you will be well installed on the aged sofas to enjoy your weekend brunch. Everything is home-made, it's excellent. Good Sunday brunch, copious, to recover from a wild evening the day before!

The flavours of the cedar country exalt in this restaurant run by Sami. A large, welcoming and modern room with high ceilings that enlarge the space, and a life-size decorated cow that welcomes you to savour the mezze. A family Lebanese cuisine, tasty and very copious that respects the tradition of good hospitality. The subtle taste of spices is hidden in the moutabla (eggplant caviar), the labné (curdled white cheese), the foul medamas (crushed cooked beans)... The grills (kaftas, chawarma lahmé...) are a delight!

The mezze are delicious and generous: we like the raw meat specialties: kibbe naye and tableh naye (raw beef specialties without fat in tartar, the unctuous hommos bil lahme. A delight! The dishes are of high quality, and the prices are quite correct. A good address to learn about the flavours of the cedar country and share a whole table of small dishes to pick up!

You'll find pies and faux-filets, not to mention the eternal perche meunière (which you can't get away from in Switzerland), veal à la zurichoise, tagliatelle and gnocchi. In summer, the large, charming, shaded terrace is a great place to dine or enjoy a cool lunch.

In a setting with warm colors, you can enjoy a good cuisine from Morocco and Lebanon. Thus, we enjoy couscous, keftas, tagines served in large dishes, mezzes..., all in a dimmed atmosphere for an oriental flight. You can smoke a hookah on the summer terrace and be tempted by the oriental desserts (under the sign of sugar!). A small journey to let our senses discover spices from elsewhere, in the district of the Caves, ultra lively and really nice. In the dining room, the only drawback is that it is a bit noisy.

Like the country, the sense of welcome and customer service is at the rendezvous, in this establishment, as always when traveling in Asia. You will be able to taste the excellent typical cuisine of the northeast of Thailand, like the som tam green papaya salad. The prices are a bit high, like in other restaurants in the center of Geneva.
