We settled down for the 27 euros prix fixe option which I admit was way too much food yet the quality of food was excellent. All the dishes we tried were outstanding, from the squash soup, to the beef cheek, to the pear pie, all dishes were traditional and memorable. Service was performed mostly by on the job trainees from hospitality schools and as a result was highly attentive. The inside of the restaurant was also quite attractive with a traditional French ceiling, stoned walls and really nice art throughout: sculptures and paintings. I would definitely go back.

We enjoyed the "L'écorce de sapin" (fondue style dish), as well as the local fish from Geneva lake. Kids choose from their kids menus, and the parents might have added a glass or two of Gamay even if it was lunch. Desserts didn't disappoint. We received a warm welcome and great service from the team at Bateau Ivre, and kudos to them!

As we passed by this place a couple of times, it always seemed very busy. In fact, there were three outside dining areas for this restaurant. We took this popularity as a good sign of their good food, but unfortunately it turned out the food was not that great for us. The chicken in my Caesar Salad was very tough and lacked flavor. It was an interesting vegetable salad with boiled potato without any flavor...not even salt. My wife couldn't find any pieces of bacon in it, either. Cheese toast was just that, nothing to write home about. Needless to say, it wasn't a great dining experience here for us. The only good thing out of this deal was we didn't spend whole a lot of money. Not recommended.

Stopped by to enjoy an ice cream with my hubby! The flavors on display looked really inviting, so…read morewe couldn't resist! (I ate my ice cream before I even thought to take a photo... fail, I know!) Hubby took caramel and it had little pieces of caramel on top! He loved it and said it was amazing. I trust his judgement because sadly I don't like caramel. As for myself, I took raspberry and coconut! My first lick of the coconut and I fell in love!!! It had pieces of shaved coconut in it and if you're a coconut lover like myself THEN TAKE THIS FLAVOR! You'll thank me. As we finished to pay, we told the glacier that this was exceptional! His response... "yeah it should be because it's La laitière" If you're wondering what that is... it's a BRAND! It's store bought ice cream that they resell. He totally could've left this information out and took credit for it being awesome! Oh well, I'd go back again!!! :)

Its a tight place and fills up fast so reservations are a great idea.

I chose the brown butter sage, also great with the french fries. A pleasant place that I will come back to.
