They have a surprisingly good menu with daily plates, sandwiches, desserts, and fondue. I watched a few plates come out of the kitchen and it all looked good. It's definitely a place where actual locals hang out. People just come out here to chill on the pier and look at the water. What we got: - Aperol Spritz (5/5): They offer these in two sizes. We got the large. We were just looking for an aperitivo and a good view. It hit the spot perfectly. Great vibes for relaxing in the sun.

I loved that I was able to see so many of my fellow Latinos enjoying life over here. Very cool. Onto the food, it was super good! I love fried perch and the fact that it was caught in the lake that is just a block away was also amazing. Fresh and tasty. The steak was also really good! You can't beat Swiss beef! And I'm from Texas, so trust me on that one. The salads are always so fresh and light. I will be back next time I'm in town. Gotta remember to wear a Mexico jersey again.

Merveilleux! Magnifique! And I don't even speak French!…read more We were directed to this café by a tour guide and through online recommendations. It was one of very few eating establishments near our hotel, so given its popularity and being aware of the need to have reservations for dinner, we decided to try a mid-day lunch. There was nobody eating indoors, so we selected an outside table. The area is mostly shady and has a nice feel, but tables are rather closely spaced, and if you're sensitive to cigarette smoke, you might not enjoy this. The menu has many classical Swiss dishes, and the place is best known for its outstanding fondue. We ordered this to share. A carafe of water, our wine, and a basket of not-so-fresh crusty bread (uncubed) came first. Then the fondue (in a cast iron pot), my gazpacho, and my husband's salad arrived. The waiter offered a half portion of salad, which was perfect. My gazpacho was slightly textured, had hints of garlic, onion, and peppers, and came with mini-croutons. It was perfect on that hot afternoon. But the star of our lunch was the amazing fondue, which was thick and flavorful. We did have to cut up the bread for dipping, and it certainly could have been fresher. There were lots of sparrows trying to get their share of it. All in all, this was a great afternoon meal at a reasonable cost (for Switzerland, anyhow). We'd do it again in a heartbeat!

Do you like cheese? Then this is your place. We made a reservation and we're glad we did because…read morethe place was packed and they were turning people away later in the evening. Since the place is known for fondue, we had to get that and it was really good. I could have just eaten that and been fine but I didn't know that ahead of time and ordered some ravioli, which was very good too. Service was fairly friendly and the food was great, so I give it two thumbs up. I will say the seating is a little tight but they're trying to give as many people as possible the opportunity to eat here so I get it.

We were a bit concerned, based on the reviews, that Edelweiss might be overly touristy. It was not…read more There were tourists but local patrons as well. We did not think the decor was gaudy. Themed, yes, but tastefully done. Do be cautious about ordering the fondue. The prices are per person and you get a ton. So, unless you can really put it away, one order is plenty for a couple to share. We ordered the very tasty cordon bleu for our second plat and had leftovers. Service was friendly but not very attentive, especially when it came to bringing the bill. Seems to be a theme Europe wide.

We ordered fondue, which was pretty standard and didn't disappoint. It wasn't anything crazy, just what you'd expect and there is something to be said for consistent comfort food. Wine selection was ok, not spectacular. We made a reservation, which I recommend. Definitely would send a friend or family for the experience, but not for a top food meal in Geneva.

Le Gite used to be located by the train station, and was much easier to get too on my way home, but…read morethen they moved to a new space, which is much nicer, but not as accessible. This is one of my favourite places to explore and the best Fromagerie (in my opinion) in Nyon. Not only can you pick from a selection of fresh Swiss cheeses, but you can also grab some fresh local dried sausage, or other local products. The service is always friendly here and speaks some English. They have the best fondue mix, that they make on-site. However, it is highly recommended to eat it the day of purchase. When you request the fondue cheese, they will ask you for how many people, and if they are big eaters. They will then put together a bag for you, and be sure to ask them for their fondue instructions, as they have special printed instructions on how to best cook and serve it. I have had many other great stinky cheeses from here. But, for Fondue at home, this is my go to supplier.
