    This spot was recommended for Brunch so we got here around 11:30 on Sunday. We thought they were sold out as we entered on the takeaway side and all of the tables were occupied. A couple of steps over is the cozy Dine-in section. We got here at the perfect time as we got the last couple of window seats before a wait started. For drinks, it was Cappuccino with Oat Milk and Aeropress Coffee. (Medium ground coffee, shorter brew-Worth trying and not bad). For main, I think we ordered two of the most popular dishes. Birdie Brekkie-Avocado Toast topped with extras of Lox Salmon and Poached Egg. Delicious and the Tahini/Lemon dressing and Apricot Hummus took it over the top! Green Shakshouka- complex flavors wrapped around the eggs with the Harissa butter giving it just the right spicy kick. Side of roasted potatoes were pure comfort. Service was friendly and engaging both at reception and our server who took great care of us. Lives up to the the Brunch hype!

    Wonderful coffee and breakfast spot in the Plainpalais section of Geneva. The coffee was top notch, I had a cortado which was smooth as butter. The combination the fresh squeezed Carrot, Apple, Orange and Ginger juice really hit the spot and the Ouefs Parfaits was out of this world. The service was also 5 stars. Love this place.

    I walked a mile two days in a row just to have breakfast here. The service and croque monster were both excellent. I also enjoyed the lemon thyme water.

    Cute cafe with really nice vibe. I came here with a couple friends on two separate occasions. Once for lunch and the other for a coffee break. There are seats against the window and a few two top (possibly three top) tables inside. On my lunch date, I ordered the ham and cheese sandwich (came with a salad and was about 16 francs) and a flat white coffee (5.50 francs). The sandwich could use more ham but was warm and toasty so still good. Also I liked the pairing with the salad. It created a good balance on the plate. My friend ordered the yogurt bowl which came out so beautifully presented with honey, granola, and fruit. On the coffee break I ordered a ginger iced tea and the lemon/speculoos cheesecake. The cheesecake was super creamy and really good! Both times, the cafe has a very comfortable vibe and it makes it easy to stay there for a while. Also bathroom available! Expected prices for Switzerland and located near other museum/sights. Recommended!!

    This is a great place to stop by on a Sunday, as some places tend to close in Geneva. There is limited outdoor seating and a few tables and a bar in the take away section. Staff are welcoming and attentive in bringing orders and clearing tables. The cafe requests that no laptops be used, and credit card minimum is 6 CHF. I ordered a cappuccino and a carrot cake and both were amazing! The coffee is rich and not bitter and the carrot cake is light and fluffy while still being moist. Definitely on my list as one of the cafes to stop by in Geneva!

    Cozy and welcoming atmosphere of this coffee shop is a nice break from the commercial shopping districts of Geneva. Catch Locals and tourists stopping in for barista crafted cafe drinks and ingredient-focused food options. Right across from a fire house, the location is central to downtown markets and shops. You won't want to let this Birdie fly away

    We had the iced chocolate and iced coffee. Followed by the croc monsieur and big breakfast. The big breakfast was avocado mash and salmon. All done in artisan style. With tasty dressings. For forty Swiss francs. The pricing was quite expensive and the service was slow however the food was honestly the best croc Monsieur I ever had and the salmon mash was also fairly good. But was it worth forty Swiss francs, no way.

    The Birdie Brekkie!

    For our mains, my wife's 'Oui Monsieur' (a play on the traditional French sandwich) was excellent.

With a decor à la…read moreMarie-Antoinette with ribbons, nice draperies, an old carrousel car in the front window, this place serves all things chocolate, tarts, pies, in bite sizes. Casual, you pick a plate and try to choose something out of the whole tasty display. You usually end up crowding up your plate. For my first time at Chez Gautier, a gem right off Geneva railstation, my friend Stephanie, a regular, recommended the home made soup. Ordered a zucchinis and leek soup that came with bread bites. Nice, natural and tasty soup that wasn't too salty, nor too rich. I paired mine up with a nuts bun sandwich with gruyère and the Swiss dried beef, a thinner, tastier and healthier version of the US beef jerky. We both went for a sweet touch with a nut scone that turned out to be a little more of a biscotti and I had the meringue tangerine tart. Delicious! I would highly recommend Chez Quartier, a gem in the heart of Geneva where the service is nice and polite, you get tasty food for fair prices.

The view is still nice but I reckon many Americans may expect that the name + picture means you're high up, so it's worth mentioning. The restaurant is fine: large portions compared to trendy restaurants in the US and nothing offensive taste-wise but the prices are in the realm of make-believe. $49 for basic chicken curry and $69 for basic (but finely pounded) veal schnitzel. In all of my travels there has been no precedent for such high prices being assigned to "everyday" dishes that are in no way elevated.

This restaurant gave us cheese pretzel lollipops, cheese cup and this amazing delicious butter bread concoction. The waiter messed up on my appetizer order but was quick to resolve the issue. The funny thing was that the messed up order actually tasted better than what I actually ordered (lobster pancake). For the main entree I got a shrimp and mushroom risotto dish which was delicious. My favorite part was the dessert. I got the homemade honey comb ice cream. A must try if you are dining here! The only criticism I have about this restaurant is that the service is very slow. I felt as if we sat for 30 minutes before they came and took our order. The whole dining experience felt longer than it should have and we were the last ones out of the restaurant.

I didn't get a chance to ever eat the actual food here and only the pastries of which both were underwhelming. What's great about this spot is that it's cafeteria style. So you have stations and you can grab your tray and order at the made to order pizza station or curries or sandwich or juices. It was cool to see little mugs with chocolate pieces which you can get hot chocolate made in front of you. Seating can get crazy. Sometimes you'll have to share some tables because some tables are communal where we had an interesting encounter with three guys on their phones seemingly talking to someone on their phones....seemed like they were on speed dating or chat rooms. It was really interesting. Anyways, you may have trouble getting a large table, but be patient. There's also a restroom up here too which is nice. I wish I did get a chance to eat something other than the pastries, but at least it's cheap and fairly fast. If you want something faster, just go to the first floor and grab something from there.
