    We stopped by O Brasseur on our way back from hiking outside Thoiry to the west and just before…read morehitting CERN up briefly to learn as much about particle physics as can be understood by a non-physicist. As it's literally a couple minutes down the road from CERN - but on the French side of the border - it makes it a convenient / much cheaper option to eat at. O Brasseur has its own parking lot, but with only 5 non-handicapped spots that can get a bit tight depending on how well/poor others do with parking, you may find it easier to park down in front of the Carrefour that is slightly further down the road and walking back to the pub. Despite being near an international research facility, French is definitely the language of choice here; while the waitress who handled my check knew a decent amount of English, our main server and the man tasked at the bar when we came in knew very little. At least the menu is in English, which made it easy enough to point at when my (extremely rusty) French failed me. The ambiance inside has a typical pub vibe to it, but since there was some shaded seating outside, we ended up out there, enjoying the warmth a little but also the coolness of the shade and the breeze. They do make their own beer here, so props to that. However, the selection is more limited (the English translations came out to lager, witbier, and amber ale - all with the same ABV somehow). I went with the 'limited edition', which I wish I had asked about...it was a Lambic, which was okay, but that kind of beer isn't up my alley. For the food, I would say that my wife's fish burger was actually a bit better / more distinguishable; the fish was very flaky and juicy, although that made it a bit tricky holding together the entire sandwich. My regular beef burger was pretty average - the meat was not as generic as some burgers I have had, but the patty felt a bit on the light side despite being a 6-ounce or so. Despite having bacon, cheese, and caramelized onions on it, none of those extras really came through. The French fries were decent, but the salad - topped with some heavy, mysterious white dressing that neither my wife or I could place - was just taking up space on the plate. The prices are reasonable here, and the vibe is alright - and that's about where expectations should be kept. O Brasseur is a solid place for a casual bite, and if you are in this particular area, you might as well eat here...there aren't many other options from what I could see. I wouldn't go out of my way to end up here again, though.

The food took a while to come out but it was worth the wait! I will be coming back to try the beers! Great place for Adults, I wouldn't recommend bringing your children, it is a pub style restaurant after all!

This gem, located within stumbling distance of my regular watering hole during my tenure at CERN, serves the best kebab of the lot. And during the time I spent living in St.-Genis, they only seemed to get better. There is nothing all that complicated about this popular Turkish fast food item (widely used as a hangover cure), although I'm guessing that the secret to good kebab is to cook the meat very slowly. This is what you see as you walk in the door of this establishment: huge hunks of tightly wrapped chicken, beef and lamb lethargically spinning on a spit in front of a heat filament. The service is quick, and I wouldn't call it particularly friendly. However, all is forgotten at the first bite of the savory meat, vegetables and dressing wrapped in a pita. I've had such trouble finding a good kebab in the states, that I've resorted to cooking my own at home (with moderate success). But it's unlikely that anything I have stateside will compare to the food here.

They also do a good job of spreading the sauce throughout the whole kebab instead of just putting it on top, so the bottom of the kebab isn't dry! I miss it now that I'm back in the states; I haven't found anything comparable out here.

The rustic French country dining room is suitable for Kings and Presidents whether they're still in power, recently deposed, or being tried in absentia. (Alas, not suitable for one who eats Big Macs every day). Everything is muted including the colors, the activity of the staff, and the diner's conversation. Everything is muted except the bright shining silver Duck Press tucked in an alcove ready to show you who's your Duck Daddy. Thankfully there was no Johnny Hallyday rock loop cranked up to concert volume to compete with. The Staff: To be frank they make you happy you're here dropping your Francs. A top professional well oiled serving machine. The kitchen helmed by Phillipp Chevier and Damien Coche were inspired. The Vibe: Who goes there? The Fortune 500 but after I dined there make that the Fortune 499. Even Bill Gates would have been wait listed if the place was full and it always is. The Food: Haute cuisine without being haughty. Over the top and off the chart. Yes, there are ala carte options but have the tasting menu or do what I did. Dive into the Chef's Surprise. Live on the edge of the ledge with Somm paired wines. (I had six different wines during dinner which comes with a required small bilge pump afterwards.) The Amuse-Bouche included a Carrot Puree Tart, Potato Coin topped with Smoked Salmon, a Celeriac Croquet with Curried Mustard, and a micro mound of baby Vegetables with Lemon. Thus, the meal headed down the first speed ramp of a culinary Bobsled Run. A tiny filet of Mackerel in a Beetroot and Blackberry Coulis will change the way you feel about mackerel assuming that you feel anything at all about mackerel. For me, I now know why mackerel is holy. Soon, the Bread Fairy arrives with an Oregano Swirl, Corn Rolls, Mini-Baguettes, and Tomato-Mozzarella Bread served with Sel de Fleur and a local Olive Oil. These could easily defeat serious diners and I defy you to say Merci, non. Next, the Frog Leg Lollipops hopped out of the kitchen all settled in Tomato Sauce with Black Garlic. Now you will sleep better as the pond outside your room will be silent. I was full by this time, but wait...there's more. Duck Liver, Quince, Crispy and Creamy Apple with Jerez Vinegar. How many things in your life are both gorgeous an delicious? It came with a bright Viognier aged three years in the barrel where I have spent weekends. The Somm was not going to play it safe with Chef's Surprise Menu. The wines will make your glands tingle. (That's Salivary glands, in case you were wondering.) The Red Claw Crayfish from Lake Geneva (and I thought it only had tossed coins, tour boats and floating styrofoam cups) came with a Brunoise of Celery and Green Apple in a Cardamom Curry Emulsion. Homage to homard. It was petit and what a treat with just a lick-a Loosiana heat left behind. Line Caught Sea Bass, chopped Razor Clams in the shell with Crispy Basmati Rice was next. Lord, I'm ready as fish and heaven ain't gettin' any better than this. Can you guess what flew out of the kitchen after that? Yup, a Grey Partridge with shredded Cabbage, Parsley Root, Rutabaga, Salsify, Onion, Parsnip and Chestnut with a Pear poached in white wine (Riesling) and an Apple poached in Pinot Noir. No need to worry about the partridge in the pear tree this Christmas as that bad boy was on my plate. By this time I was ready to tank and thrown in the towel, slap the mat for mercy, tap out and beg the Ref to call it. But then they rolled out the Cheese Trolley carrying between 40 and 50 varieties to select. When the going gets tough, the tough cut the cheese. Reblochon, Fermier, Langre washed with Champagne, (a fun idea for a fun date, no?), Mathais sur Feulles (goat to you), Brinda Amour (Corsican Sheep) with Ash Rot washed in local water. (The end of a not so fun date). All served with Pumpkin Seed Bread, Malt Bread, and a Ginger Bread so strong I will have Angle breath for a month. Dessert was out of the question, but then who's asking? Baby Finger Bananas, with Passionfruit Sauce, Speculoos Cookie Caramel Corn Crumble with Coconut Ice Cream. Reminds me of the islands? Nope, reminds me of one of the World's great spectacular dinners. Just as you're taking off your bib out comes a Cassis, Ginger, Chestnut Tart, a Passionfruit Tart with Vanilla Lime Sauce, Pear Jellies, Pure Swiss Chocolate Truffles, Chocolate Dipped Gooseberries and Raspberry Pralines. Had enough? How about the Mont Blanc of Chestnut Cream with Chestnut Ice Cream? Well, you get that too...it's the Chef's Surprise. Domaine de Chateauvieux is worth a quick re-do for me and now, you.

We were greeted with the upmost respect upon arrival and taken to the kitchen where our table was waiting. The staff was very friendly, helping us take photos and waiting patiently for us to finish our 9-10 course which last a little over 3 hours. Never once did they rush us to move on to the next course or made us feel like we had to leave after the whole restaurant closed. I've never done a Chefs Table dining experience before but Domaine lived up to its Michelin star name. The food itself was excellent. The mixture, the sauce, the creations were all so beautifully crafted and tasted just as good as they looked. I loved how each course was bought out on different equally beautiful chinaware. The type of food we had ranged from fish to beef, lobster, caviar, etc. During the dining experience I was surprised to see that the kitchen was not loud at all. My group had a wonderful time thanks to the chef and staff of Domaine de Châteauvieux.
