I was very glad that I tried Don Duarte, which I had passed several times while walking around in…read morethe 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.
