Foie gras with pears and grilled brioche
Jen M.

Quaint place tucked behind the busy lakefront street, romantic and casual. Everything is in French but the staff can help you order in English. I ordered an asparagus salad with a poached egg and Parmesan, it was delicious. Then the foie gras with grilled brioche and pears, amazing but too much for 1 person. Paired with a nice Sauvignon Blanc. It was mostly locals and several ordered the burger and fries, it looked amazing. Remember US dining experience is totally different than French, stay open-minded.

Their signature cheeseburger that comes with delicious fries, a tasty dip and a bowl of greens.

10 stars!! Can't say enough good things about this restaurant. The fact that there is only once…read moreentree serve (there isn't even a menu for food) means that they're doing something right. The main dish here which is steak and fries with a special sauce is cooked to perfection on all accounts and leaves you wanting more and more! Once you sit down you're asked how you want your meat cooked. Soon enough a starter salad arrives which is a perfect butter lettuce in a french mustard dressing. Then your main dish arrives which is the steak and fries - your first portion ;) Then you get your SECOND portion! They serve the meal in two servings so that your food stays warm and each bite is warm and delicious. You'll be sad when the meal is over. The house wine is great and so are all the bottles they serve but the drinks and dessert menu is in French so you may have to guess! There is a menu with various options for the dessert which is handed to you after dinner. The profiteroles are great but the ice cream macaron tower dessert is just perfect - this time we had the chocolate and nut one which was so yummy even though we were full we ate the whole thing!! This location also takes reservations which is a plus if you need it :)

A unique experience!…read more We arrived 15 minutes before they opened and were the 6 people in line. At opening time the line stretched down the street and was about 35-50 people total. They definitely have it down! There was a line of waitresses (only women waiters work there) they were allocated per group in line and walked you to your seat. There is no menu - everyone gets the same thing your only choice is what you get to drink and if you want your steak rare, medium, or well-done. When the plate of food came out, my husband and I thought it was a small portion and then realized they they give you another helping after you finish the first one. The sauce is very unique and flavorful but, I am not sure I would agree on the food being worth the price. It was a unique place to experience while on vacation but, I won't go out of your way to go there.

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!

One of our best dinners ever! The restaurant is small and cozy. The server was friendly and…read morehelpful. The food was outstandingly delicious. One of our favorites was beef with a foie gras top. We were really too full for dessert, but had to order when we saw them at a neighboring table. I especially loved the Floating Island! It's the first time I've had one in many years.
