I was very glad that I tried Don Duarte, which I had passed several times while walking around in the area near my hotel. The restaurant has a very casual vibe, with many locals who seem to hang out here. I tried the dinner special, which was the Filet de Boeuf. The beef was tender and flavorful. It was served with a wonderful house sauce, potatoes, and mushrooms. The special included a salad, bread, and choice of dessert. (I chose flan, which was delightful). With a large bottle of sparkling water, the meal totaled about $40 CHF - really a pretty good value for the quality, portions and considering Genève prices. The service was good and in the Swiss / French style of not bugging you while you eat and relax! I will return. I would like to try their octupus next. read more

On a mission for the best grilled octopus in town and I think this might be it. It is only the 4th place where I've tried it and so far it's the clear contender in the race. One other thing I must add in this epic heatwave...the place has air conditioning ...real air conditioning. Not the stupid European kind that cools the room then turns off until you start to break a sweat...or the kind that keeps you only semi-clamy...real keep you cool AC. ...and grilled octopus with some flavor..and butter. Don't be afraid of a few more fat and calories girls..this is dish is worth it. read more

Don Duarte - Roasted octopus with potatoes, broccoli, onions and sweet peppers - Portuguese Near Me - Geneva, GE

Tasty food, great value for Geneva. It seems to be a local place and no one spoke English. I had the "suggestions du chef" $35 francs. Sirloin, potatoes and sauce was tasty, the veggie of the day was overcooked brocolli, and I chose the creme brûlée as my dessert. The aperol spritzer was tasteless and the shocker of the evening was 10 Swiss Francs for mineral water. Another person in my party enjoyed the vegetarian pizza and the everyone enjoyed their tasty ice cream. read more

Very nice local Portuguese restaurant with many senior neighbors drinking together. The octopus with potatoes is really yummy, while the steak is not very surprising. The drinks here are very good price with good quality. Overall, satisfied for a simple dinner. read more
