    Plenty of places for fondue in town but few with as legit a raclette setup as this place located on the south side of the river near the Bel-Air stop. Raclette is where it's at here. Think of a half wheel of cheese that's put in a medieval vice attached to a spoke of a spinning wheel to allow it to be rotated beneath a hot broiler. The heat waves from the broiler melt the top surface of the cheese and the wheel is spun around to the carver who scrapes the layer of melted cheese onto a plate of golden baby potatoes or whatever else you might like, cured slices of beef perhaps? Try a rosti as well. Think of a McDonald's hasbrown with more butter and TLC. Bon appetit.

    Half chicken dinner. Gravy is amazing

    Excellent food and atmosphere. First place I tried Raclette in 1985. Been there almost every year since.

    Service and food were very good! I had the Zurich style veal with rosti and my son had the veal schnitzel with fries.

    The fondue here is pretty good, but the service is brutal and the wine list is overpriced. You can do better in Geneva.

    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

    After tasting food this good, I have to wonder why it's taken me this long to try Peruvian Japanese…read morecuisine! Kampai is a feast for the senses. The interior of the restaurant is very modern, with the main feature being a large, clean and well-stocked bar in the middle of the room. All the furniture and thick and bold abstract designs in darker colors give the place a swanky feel. The service was excellent, with the staff giving us great recommendations for both food and drinks. The drinks were among the best cocktails I've had in Geneva- heavy on ginger (try the Jaya!) and tropical fruits (try anything with passion fruit- delish!). By the end of the second drink we were happy that we had made a reservation, as the place fills up quickly! Be sure to call ahead. At the server's recommendation, our party of five ordered five cold and five hot dishes, which are served tapas-style. To be brief, let me just say that this was a truly sensational and unique meal, combining some of my favorite foods and flavors- seafood, lime, pork, ginger, squid ink, and wasabi, to name a few, in addition to the more familiar Peruvian features- potatoes, peppers, cocona, and chicken. All items were served correctly to temperature, and the plating was exquisite- playing on colors and textures. The flavors mimicked the colors- with pops of tart or sweet flavors layered with more nuanced notes. If I had to chose my favorite dishes, I would say that I best enjoyed the cold ceviches and the panceta or the causa negra con pulpo (featuring potatoes with squid ink!). All very delicious. I would say that overall I preferred the hot to the cold appetizers, but I am always a sucker for a good ceviche. Although we all had a bit of a gasp at the high bill, I can say that the experience was well worth the high price tag. Definitely worth a trip!

    A very nice place...looks like you are entering a Japanese restaurant but its a fusion of Japanese…read moreand Peruvian. Stopped here for lunch, the menu was 28 CHF and I received a lovely little amuse bouche sushi looking little treat of rice and salmon with a nice sauce. Very tasty. I chose a potato entree with tuna topped with some sliced red onion all sitting on a bed of a wonderful creamy, slightly peppery sauce. After they took that empty plate they brought us little round breads and I was wishing for them so I could have soaked up that leftover sauce from the first dish. My main dish was cabbillaud with vegetables. Sounds plain but it was not, seasoning was wonderful and fish was perfect. I have pictures posted of both dishes, they are gorgeous.
