The food was ok for 1st night in Switzerland. The service people were very nice and friendly. The lighting and atmosphere were warm and cozy. It's a reasonable pricing place given e everything is pricey in Geneva. read more

Chez ma cousine - Half Chicken, Salad, Chicken Nuggets (in basket), french fries. - Salad Near Me - Geneva, GE

We came for lunch and there were lot of tables available. We got 1/2 a chicken (17,90) and chicken nuggets (16,40). The chicken comes with salad and fries. The chicken nuggets come with fries and a sauce. The chicken was kind of dry. The fries were thick and kind of addicting. The chicken nuggets were nicely fried. I really enjoyed the salad. It helped balance out the chicken. I wouldn't recommend this place for lunch. It was affordable compared to other places in Geneva but I wouldn't recommend the chicken. read more

Near the University, this gem of a restaurant is hidden down a side street. The most ordered dish and I highly recommend it, is the roasted half chicken meal. It comes with a large salad and some baked potato wedges. I like the well seasoned chicken au naturel but many of my friends order the extra chicken au jous and dip it in that delectable juice. Its a full meal for under chf20 and after lunch, you can go shopping at Manor just down the street. Friendly and efficient staff - my only suggestion would be to offer more comfortable seats but then you would probably never get a seat!!! read more

Not much to look at from the outside but it was excellent food at a great price. The salads are fabulous and the roasted chicken hit the spot. Service was fast and friendly. A diamond in the rough. read more

One of 4 locations at Vielle-Ville we found cozy fast and delicious. No need to salt it up like we do in USA flavor stands out. The 1/2 chicken for 20 CHF is a bargain. One of us tried the curry which was sweet with a mild after kick. The waitstaff is adorable the ambiance is cozy. read more

Recently traveling with my partner to Geneva for a two part class. When we arrived for the first trip, a police officer recommended Chez Ma. It was amazing. The food, the service and the ambience was perfect. A quaint, little romantic spot. We love the simple menu. We made sure we went back again two more times when we came back to Geneva for the second part of the class just six weeks later. The gal who helped us at our table was especially friendly and gave us all sorts of recommendations and things to do in Lucerne where we were traveling for a day trip the next day. She looked up the train schedule for us to make sure that we understood which one we needed to take. We even stopped by later in the week when we saw her in the window just to thank her for her help and she was so excited that we did. Not sure if we'll ever be back in Geneva but if we do, we for sure would visit this restaurant again. Our favorite meal by far during our trips. read more

We went in to this restaurant based on reviews. As soon as we sat down the waitress was horrible and rude. It was so bad we decided to leave, management needs to work with her and teach her how to provide service. Avoid this restaurant, unless you want someone to yell at you. read more

I came here for dinner after arriving to my Airbnb. It's conveniently close by and according to TripAdvisor, it's good and cheap! There's a nice outdoor seating but would require a wait. So we were seated immediately indoors! I'm so glad they have an English menu! The boyfriend and I weren't sure how much food to get because we don't eat very much, and so far we have been given weird looks when we order just one meal. So we asked the waiter and he suggested we get their popular dish and the children's menu dish, which are: 1/2 Grilled Chicken w/Provençal Style Potatoes and Green Salad (15,90 CHF) + My Cousine Sauce (2,80) I don't usually care for chicken or ever order it but since this place is known for it, sure. And it was quite good! Most of it was dark meat and there fore not dry. The flavors are good. As for the potatoes, they are little potato wedges that are freshly made--crispy and warm. The salad--meh. Didn't care for it. Not sure why, but I didn't enjoy them. As for the sauce, it was pretty salty. It's for those who just love sauces and their food extra salty! CHILDREN MENU - 10,50 CHF 1/4 Grilled Chicken w/Provençal Style Potatoes. I recommend adults to get this if you are the anti-salad kind of person. I should have just stuck to this, haha. The 1/4 chicken piece was still a decent size! FLAT WATER - 1 CHP Ah yes they charge for water but 1CHP isn't bad compared to most places that can charge up to around 5CHP. This is a very fast paced restaurant with very efficient and friendly waiters. I had a good time here and we ended up with Abby of leftovers to bring back to our Airbnb. :) read more

Got recommended from lonely planet, apparently the editors have very different taste buds compared to mine. Food is only three stars. Service 4 stars and price 5 stars for Geneva. This is probably one of the cheapest restaurant meals you can get in Geneva. It is definitely not the healthiest option: salads with too much sauce, fried potato wedges, all the unnecessary protein from the chicken. I am not a potato fan so I will pass reviewing the potato wedges, they are not bad, and portions are huge. The chicken looks delicious, but was overly salted on the skin and is too bland inside. It was also too dry for me. Service is quick and attentive. The juice I got was very delicious. Would recommend to people who like dry meat and fried potato. read more

Like Henry Ford said, you can have any color you like, as long as it's black. This place does rotisserie chicken. Price has gone up to Euro 17.90 but chicken and fries are still great. There may be a little wait but it's worth it. The place looks small but has more space in the back. Since chickens are constantly grilled there is a reasonably fast turnover. Food comes to the table in 5 minutes. Table next to us asked if they had anything else but chicken. Answer. NO. read more

What!?! a Full meal for under $20 a person in Geneva!?! Impossible! Ohhh, mais bien sur, it can happen! Ok, so it's not an authentic Swiss food or anything, but the name speaks for itself, it means at my cousin's house, so you'll expect simple, yet filling food. We got a salad, half of chicken per person, beer, and fries for 14 Swiss francs, it's a deal. We had people walk by and say "chicken and french fries?!?!" but it's actually really good. The chicken is really well cooked and the fries were crispy and soft on the inside, delicious. I really enjoyed the salad too. For dessert, my husband got the mini cafe with chocolate muffin and creme brulee. My daughter got the strawberry ice cream, which was probably the best she'll ever eat, because it was just delicious, even I couldn't stop. It lost a star because the service isn't great, the waiter there didn't seem interested in serving us and we waited awhile for a table, which we knew would happen. But there were people there just smoking, not even eating anymore, occupying tables. I know it's Europe and people take their time before leaving a restaurant, but this place was in a rush to get rid of us but had no problem keeping the other people who ordered NOTHING around. Fine with me, I got my meal so I don't care about anything else. read more

Came by for lunch on Sunday and there was not wait. My friend and I both ordered the half chicken which was an excellent dish. The chicken gravy is a must have since it adds so much flavor. Dip the chicken and fries in gravy for maximum tastiness. Also ordered a shandy which is a mix of lemonade and beer. It was very refreshing and paired well with the meal. Service was fast and efficient. Dish doesn't cost too much either which is a huge plus. read more

We had the half chicken, frites, and salad 14 CHF special which is a great deal, especially in Switzerland. We added two servings of sauce, but one serving would have been plenty for two people. The chocolate fondant dessert was very nice. The outdoor seating area was pleasant until the very aggressive little birds kept trying to land on our table and get some food. read more

Superb roasted chicken enjoyed in an intimate setting across from the palais du Justice. Attentive and friendly service from the initial greeting until the bill. Arriving in the heat of the lunch hour rush or with more than two people, one should be prepared to wait 15-20 minutes. Once seated, good food comes quickly so you can be fine in an hour if your have time constraints. A small but thoughtful wine and beer list too. read more

Delicious food in Genevieve!!! Very close to our hotel. We were therefor awhile and tried several places. We ended up going back a few time. Service was great and there was a lengthy menu. The cat was kind of weird but it looked like a lot of people enjoyed it. Would recommend read more

My wife ordered the 1/2 chicken and I ordered the Thai chicken salad. The freshness of the salad was great. Very warm day and I was looking for something different. Thai chicken salad with tomatoes, Thai spicy sauce, a variety of lettuces & noodles. Crisp and crunchy and lots of chicken. Ask for more of the spicy sauce. Having tried a bit of wife's 1/2 chicken, I can say she got the better dish. If you order the 1/2 chicken you can not go wrong. Excellent flavor and plenty of food. read more

Nice busy chicken restaurant. Friendly service in a relaxed casual atmosphere. Roast chicken and chips, simple and can't fault it.

Friends of ours moved to Switzerland from the US a year and a half ago. We went to visit them a few weeks ago and this restaurant was certainly on their list of favorites. When we arrived, I was surprised by the size of the restaurant. It looks so small from the outside, but is larger than anticipated on the inside. We got a cozy table in the back of the restaurant. Our friends had suggested getting the special, which included a half chicken, fries, and salad. My husband and I agreed, so we ordered it with gravy. The food came out really fast, which was great! The salad was served family style and was tasty. The chicken was cooked well for the most part - a few areas of the chicken were dry. But, the gravy made everything taste wonderful. The serving of fries is very large, but we still managed to eat them all. They have a great crunch and a nice balance of saltiness. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate cake. According to our friends, the cake is normally served with a scoop of ice cream. But, ours didn't have any ice cream with it :( The cake was good, but a little dry for my liking. Overall, this is a good bang for the buck. The special for 14 CHF is a steal! I would recommend this restaurant for a meal that makes you feel right at home. read more

Boom! This place is great. They have a small menu, but you go here for the 1/2 roasted chicken. They do a great job of preparing a flavorful bird. It's accompanied by a small salad and fries. The chicken is so tender that you can eat it with a knife and fork, including the leg. It's a bit annoying to have to pay CHF2.80 for one of their sauces, but the gravy is worth it - perfect for dipping your fries. It's set in a fun neighborhood with lots of other restaurants around. Solid nightlife, but not in the clubby way. Well with a trip for lunch or dinner. read more

The place is very homey and the chicken is amazingly delicious!! The price is super reasonable :)

I would give Chez ma Cousine 4 stars purely for the affordability, especially in a great location next to restaurants that offer entrees for twice the price! But all five stars since the food was much better than I was expecting for 15 CHF! Yes, the kitchen is small and the menu is limited, but it appears everyone gets the half-chicken anyway. And wow, that chicken was the perfect tenderness for me! super juicy albeit a little burnt in a couple places. The chicken is small of course, but I was stuffed by the end of the meal. The potatoes are really bland until you notice the free(!) ketchup and mayo packets on each table, and the salad is basically just lettuce. My mom actually opted for a noodle soup, and it was almost as good as the chicken! Service was all right relative to other Swiss restaurants I've been to. They have a couple outdoor tables, which you should snag if you're lucky enough to get there when there are open tables at all! read more

My friends and I quickly stopped by Chez ma Cousine after visiting St. Pierre's Cathedral because it was listed as Swiss food on Yelp, but I'm not sure if you could call it that. I ordered the Thai style chicken salad, and my friends ordered the Indian style chicken salad and the 1/2 grilled chicken with gravy (where you pay extra). The portions were fairly big and they were definitely not stingy on the amount of chicken to salad ratio. The chicken in my salad was a bit bland with not much taste and the spicy tomato sauce was not enough to last me through the whole salad, so I would occasionally dip it in my friend's gravy for more flavor. What I really enjoyed about my salad was the cold noodles which I thought was refreshing and unique. The service was great and the price is definitely on the cheap end for Geneva. read more

Roast chicken and potatoes! Such a great spot for a informal lunch or dinner. Affordable and delicious. I recommend going with the mustard sauce, it goes great on everything in my opinion. Walk in, order a roast chicken with some fries and a beer. What can be better? read more

Came here for lunch with friends and sat outside (it was really hot inside and it looked pretty cramped). The menu is pretty limited but you basically order the 1/2 roast chicken and it comes with salad and potatoes. I didn't like the dressing on the salad but the chicken and the potatoes were really good. And like other reviewers have said, this is a fantastic value in Switzerland at 15 CHF per person. Service was great, drinks were great, food was great. Solid place. read more

Great little Provençal chicken place tucked away in Vieux Genève. Nice stop for a quick lunch!

If you are craving roasted chicken, this place in Geneva is a must. Fall of the bone chicken, great beer. I would suggest ordering a bowl of chicken soup for starters which packs a lot of flavor and their house made mustard sauce is a great accompany to their chicken read more

Ok Yelpers, lets do the maths: A big mac medium menu (burger, fries and drink) is 14.50CHF from the Rive Mcdonald's; Half a chicken, fries, salad & bread... plus a drink is only 15.00CHF from Chez ma Cousine. Thats with out going into how the quality is a million times better, the service is much nicer and it's an actual sit down restaurant! Yes, I might not be able to hide how much I love this place. Many a day working in the old town has led to me getting a take away from here and taking it back to work to eat. Always a personal favourite and somewhere I will forever love. Hell, I even took Carolyn S. here on our first date... must of done something right ;) read more

The sauce was way too salty that it was inedible, they charged me for tap water in the menu, and there was more dressing than lettuce in the salad. Absolutely disgusting and a let down based on the reviews. Chicken was delicious and moist but also very salty The waiter assumed I didn't speak French when I asked about the charge for tap water and talked about me to the other waiters in French! Terrible service! Not impressed read more

Was in Geneva for a couple of days, and a friend recommended this place. It is a charming little place, in the heart of historic Geneva. Very unassuming in its looks. Cozy and very friendly, and welcoming. Looks small, about 12 tables from the window, but then there is a narrow lane leading you to another room behind the kitchen where there are another set of 10-12 tables. Seems as if you are sitting in a cave. I ordered their half chicken with a special sauce. It came with a salad and home made potato chips (fries). All absolutely excellent. The extra sauce that I ordered (for CFH 2.80) was really not needed, but nevertheless was excellent. A very filling meal in the heart of Geneva for less than CHF 20. Never would have imagined... Did I mention excellent beer we had and a very friendly waiting staff? If you are in Geneva, go there! read more

Perfect stop!! We were very hungry and looking for a place for quick late lunch, stumbled on this next to the beautiful Place de Bourg-de-Four in the historic Old Town, and it was perfect. All they serve is chicken and we all ordered their super reasonably priced plate of half roasted chicken, roasted Provençal potatoes and salad for 16.90CHF. It was fast, plenty of food, and delicious. Roasted chicken was tasty as is, or you can order some sauces, and only complaint was salad was overdressed. Really nice waitress and good service. Great small place for a very simple, fast, reasonably priced meal -- nice to find when you don't always want an involved or more expensive meal. Great location too. read more

Good lunch but whatever you do, do not sit outside thinking you will enjoy a pleasant lunch. Our table and the one next to us kept getting attacked by flies and wasps wanting to land in our food. We spent the better part of our meal trying to flit these away with napkins while also trying to scarf down food quickly so we don't have to deal with these insects. Oddly enough it was just at the tables of this restaurant and not the adjacent ones which also do have outdoor seating. Kinda ruins your eating experience when you have to focus on keeping your food safe from flies and wasps rather than focus on your meal. read more
