Fondue was good, but our waiter was very rude and impatient with us for not understanding the…read morelanguage. Put a huge damper on our first night in Geneva. Would not go back. Also they only take cash. No card.

We arrived here after snowboarding and apparently after sitting down, they said they don't serve…read morethe fondue until 6:30pm. So we said we'd come back in half an hour and moved our car closer as it was freezing. Apparently this place is the Go-To place for Fondue and gets pretty freaking busy. There were already tables reserved with pieces of paper on the table when we got there. Crazy right? We sat down again after coming back and decided to get drinks as it's apparently frowned upon if you just ask for water. We opted for hot tea (Lipton Yellow Label for 3.60 Swiss Francs). Then we ordered the mushroom fondue (Fondue aux bolets - 27-ish Swiss Francs). The bill for the drinks came in this tiny bucket. Apparently at the end they take this and add it to what you've ordered in terms of food. I guess it's in case you want more drinks or more food then they can keep track as they probably get busy. The bread first came out and then the melty pot of hot cheesy goodness. The cheese was a bit on the salty side and very gooey initially. The bread complimented it very well. After a while, the cheese got to a thick almost mozzerella-ish consistency which meant eat fast otherwise it's going to be hard. The bill was a bit weird though...or more like how we got change. The waiter went to a purse and pulled out a wallet where he got change. I guess it's the owner's but it's like they don't have a cash register at all, just something that totals bills. Pretty interesting... For my first cheese fondue, it was delicious. It would definitely be a treat once in a while.
