    Third time to eat here and the best visit yet. We had the menu and all was fabulous. The weather was a bit too cool and damp for eating outside.

    Cafe du Soleil is one of few good fondue restaurants in Geneva. This restaurant located near many international consulate. The restaurant has mostly outdoor seating. Reservations is recommended because this place is local favorite. We got the regular fondue. They serve white Swiss cheese with bread. It is not cheap. You can dip this dish with bread. We got ribeye steak with fries. The steak was grilled correctly. The beef is good quality. The fish dish we have come with rice and some sauce on side. The fish is bake with seasoning. Overall we have good time to play with fondue. It is definitely the most interesting experience. The other dishes also good to enjoy. Love our time here.

    Fondue with the finest cuts of beef, pickles and pearl onions.

    Unbelievably, this was my first time having fondue. Possibly I'm one of the last people on the planet to do so. The restaurant exudes old European atmosphere. I took a chance not having a dinner reservation and walked in during a Tuesday night. While they were busy, the host was so kind and gracious to seat me without delay. The waiter was friendly, helpful and patient with this newbie. The entire staff really hustles to serve their customers. I opted for the fondue with the recommended finest cuts of beef, and was served with pearl onions and small pickles. Of course the bread and cheese were delicious as well. Whether dining solo, or as a couple or small group, an evening at Cafe du Soleil makes for a great dining experience.

    Came for breakfast and there wasn't any food other than a few pieces of bread but coffee was great

    i tried two different fondues while visiting and this was my favorite! my onlyyy complaint is that the bread was a little hard/stale but that is just personal preference. the staff was all super friendly and personable. i also got a meat snack plate on the side which was good diversity. for dessert i got a delicious chocolate mousse!

    The food here: amazing! The overall experience is what brings it down to 3 stars. The prices are affordable for Geneva! What we ordered: 5 of us split a pot of fondue to stop. We wish we would have gotten 2, but oh well. I got the butternut squash soup as my main and the flavor was great! It was so creamy and the toasties to put in the soup were so buttery and crisp. I got the cream and meringue for dessert. I had never tried this, but I apparently it's a traditional Swiss dessert. It was kind of a small portion, but I'm glad I tried it! What was weird about the experience was the server. Maybe he didn't speak perfect English, but he kept making comments that sounded like he was judging us or didn't understand maybe. When we said we only wanted one pot of fondue he said "really? Only one?". Idk, maybe I just dont Understand the humor here. Still great food and fondue overall!

    Terrible regular bread  and cold fondue even when you order gluten-free bread. This is what you will get sans apology

    Requested gluten-free bread for an additional three dollars. He brought me regular bread and waited until I had eaten it to tell me. Oh sorry I forgot. As a celiac patient I am tempted to post photos of the aftermath. I am posting the photo so that other patients know this is not the gluten-free bread that is advertised on the menu. You will get charge $60 and get a half assed apology. For those wondering why didn't I know? Because the bread is so bad I thought it was gluten-free bread, which is typically horrible.

    TL;DR beeeest fondue in Geneve (but also the only fondue place i've been to) They serve up a mean lil fondue. Literally. The pots are smaller than the typical pots I've seen. BUT, it's so so good. I've heard fondue can be bitter, but it wasn't bitter at all?!?!? You get a plate of bread to dip in. We also got another plate of veggies recommended by waiter, glad we did it. they had cute lil pickles. V sour, v crunch. how to eat fondue (from a novice): rip bread with hands into small pieces. spear small bread with long fork. dip and twirl bread in fondue. remove from fondue. Put cheese bread on plate. Eat cheese bread with your regular fork. (So you don't share the germs, obvi). Or eat directly from long fork if friends don't mind germs. Enjoy! Bone apple teeth. Waiters know English, lav it!!! In one month, I had fondue twice. Both were here.

    Great fondue with quality bread for dipping. Waiter was very helpful and did a great job. Atmosphere was traditional French cafe, which I really like. I'll certainly go back.

    I decided to come here try the cheese fondue after reading all the great reviews. The place is very cozy, staff are very friendly, I was seated immediately and they brought an English menu without me asking for it which is super nice and attentive. The cheese fondue was delicious and rich. I couldn't finish it all as it's a lot for one person. Best if you go with someone or a group. There are other items I'd like to try next time which is the cheese ball. The prices are very good in this place and I highly recommend it.

    Fondue to share!

    They have the one of the best classic fondue in Geneva. Also, the dessert like the profiteroles were awesome!

    While visiting my company's office in Geneva, the manager selected this place for a team dinner…read more Since he's from Lyon originally, he wanted to share that the place was having a special "game week" menu featuring traditional foods from the area. Since I'm always "game" for a new experience, I was happy to participate! I was a little nervous because when we arrived they had just opened and there was nobody there. However, I soon relaxed and felt right at home, because service was very friendly and encouraging, but with no pressure to try the game menu. I decided to be a little bold and went for the venison medallions. I even tried some of my colleague's wild boar pate, which was good. I started with a pumpkin chestnut soup which I really enjoyed. My venison was lovely as were the accompanying sides. There was a wide variety of side dishes in small portions and I appreciated that. I paired everything with a nice local beer and it was a very nice experience. The dessert menu is extensive and I went with an old standby, a chocolate mousse. It was absolutely incredible. Everything was fresh and delicious, service was outstanding and I could understand that by the time we left, there wasn't an empty seat in the place. Definitely recommend the experience here. It's more than just the food!

    My fiancee and I were looking for places to eat that were not crazy expensive. Switzerland, as…read moremost of you know, is one of the most expensive countries in Europe, if not the most expensive. I was not too hungry, but he was super hungry. I looked up a few places and this place popped up. It was within walking distance of our hotel so we gave it a shot. We walked in and the guy asked if we had a reservation, to which we said no. I thought he would say he was out of room, but he offered us the communal table. There was another middle-aged couple sitting at the end. They kept looking over at us; it was a little creepy. The menu was all in French. And since neither of us can speak, let alone read French, we used Google translate to figure out what some of the words were. The server was able to explain to us what everything was and we were able to place our order. My fiancee got a meal-sized salad. And it was really big. We both thought it was going to be small, but he said it was filling, and probably the best Cesar salad he ever had. I ordered the small beef tartare, which is 180grams. I also expected it to be small. But I was so wrong. It's the size of a hockey puck and a little thicker than one, and it comes with a side of roasted potatoes, a small salad, and bread to spread the tartare on. By the end of meal, I was so stuffed. I am really glad we found this place.

    So good. Large plates and great taste. For paying, go up to the counter after your meal.read more
