Another 5 Star dining experience in Geneva. Oscar, our server was awesome. We actually went back a…read morecouple of days later hoping that we would see Oscar again. We did, but not seated in his area. We had Martin and he was great also. The first visit we had reservations and the second one we didn't. I do recommend calling ahead or online booking. The first visit we would not have gotten in and the second visit we barely got a table...think maybe we got a table because they recognized us from before. Items that we ordered were the: Frist Visit: - Lake Perch pan sautéed in butter and served with fries and a side salad. Wow, those tiny little perch filets were awesome. Perfectly cooked, very fresh with absolutely no fishy taste. The fries were very good - crispy and hot. The side salad was very good with a great dressing. - Pan Sautéed Veal with Mushrooms and served with veggies. The veal was browned and the taste was right there. It was tender and needed no extra seasoning at all. The veggies were cooked - not too much but just enough. Second Visit: - Steak - maybe entrecôte - the only one with a peppercorn sauce. We asked for it to be cooked to a medium and it came medium!!! The peppercorn sauce was to die for. We share part of this steak and just kept going back to the sauce. Excellent. I came with fries and veggies. I asked for a very small serving of fries and was accommodated. I also asked if I could have that wonderful side salad as my veggies and was told no. But way into my meal Martin came over and said that I could have the salad. At this time we were both so full that I declined. We were better off. - Penne Pasta with a Spicy Tomato sauce. Weak link of the two visits but hit the spot. The sauce was not spicy at all. The pasta was cooked appropriate. Just couldn't compare with the rest of the food. Highly recommend. Also one should make a booking.

Big portion though. The burrata and tomatoes dish was fantastic. Everything else was solid. We sat at the bar as a last minute walk in. This place is busy so get a reservation if you can.

Fagatinni…read more Wonderful spot with low key vibe. Very casual with a wonderful menu. One thing that caught my eye was the fagatinni. As an American, I think I recognized trufolo or something. Glad my guess was right. Wonderfully prepared pasta with a white truffle sauce. Best meal I had in Geneva. A generous amount for a good price. Finished with a Nutella tiramisu, yes you heard that right. This place would be 5-starred had we not found a small piece of glass within the dessert! Otherwise, amazing dining experience.

Note: It is 2 CHF per person to enter the Bain des Paquis and to access the eatery…read more This locals favorite "refreshment cafe/ bar" on the Bain des Paquis seems to be a constant recommendation and easily the best destination if you are in search of an affordable meal in franc-powered Geneva. Order your food at the cashier and seat yourself in one of the two covered outdoor sections with benches, or take it out onto the grass if you so desire. The affordable item is always their "Plat du Jour"/ dish of the day, 15 CHF (~18 USD). During our visit, it was a wonderfully refreshing "Ceviche de Cabillaud"/ cod ceviche marinated in lemon. They also serve Fondue here at 27 CHF per person (if requested), though we made the mistake of ordering a portion for 2 people which was not necessary after ordering 1 plat du jour each. This was brought out for to us at a bench we eventually secured. The Gruyère cheese was quite rich and on the saltier end. The bread they supply you with was a bit too crusty. The expectation is for you to bus your plates near the kitchen window when you finish eating. The environment was quite lively on a Friday night, the younger generation out in full force in bathing suits, cooling off after a 90 Fahrenheit day, with some beats bumping from an on-site DJ. Authentic environment to intermingle with the locals and fumble your way through your non-existent French.

Geneva is super expensive. Finding a decent meal and a drink without spending a ton is pretty rare…read more We heard this place was a locals spot. You order your food and drinks at the counter. They have a surprisingly good menu with daily plates, sandwiches, desserts, and fondue. I watched a few plates come out of the kitchen and it all looked good. It's definitely a place where actual locals hang out. People just come out here to chill on the pier and look at the water. What we got: - Aperol Spritz (5/5): They offer these in two sizes. We got the large. We were just looking for an aperitivo and a good view. It hit the spot perfectly. Great vibes for relaxing in the sun.

Themed, yes, but tastefully done. Do be cautious about ordering the fondue. The prices are per person and you get a ton. So, unless you can really put it away, one order is plenty for a couple to share. We ordered the very tasty cordon bleu for our second plat and had leftovers. Service was friendly but not very attentive, especially when it came to bringing the bill. Seems to be a theme Europe wide.

This bistro was on my regular rotation of lunch stops for at least 10 yrs. when I lived here…read more Family run, friendly service and with reasonable lunch prices, it is a central Geneva gem. They prepare everything fresh using high quality ingredients and are consistently good. The interior is sparsely decorated and diminutive but the focus is on the food. If you like beef, it is one of their specialties but frankly just about everything is good. Tonight I had tagliatelle with Morel mushrooms in a light cream sauce and the tarte tatin for dessert. Really delicious. Glad to see it is still in there and popular as ever. Reservations suggested but not required. Give it a try.

They are very good with their pace and would let you finish each course before they bring out the next, really nice for a slower eater. Food was not as good as I thought though (based on the good ratings on TripAdvisor). The steak I ordered was fine, the sauce was really good, but the vegetables were probably just straight-boiled without even getting shocked or anything, so all the them were just soggy and sad. Friend ordered French fries as the side and that was fine though. The smoked salmon salad I am pretty happy with. Besides, portion is pretty good and I was very full after the two courses and cannot squeeze in any dessert. Overall, a good sit-down place for an intimate, long dinner, won't be as great for fast eaters. BTW Geneva's food is not very good so this is not bad at all.
