The tour manager recommended we travel into the old town center. I found this restaurant through Yelp and their Rosti varieties plus the food quality are exactly what I needed for a lunch stop. The Rosti did not disappoint. Full disclaimer: Rosti can be a bit heavy with the cooking process that can include butter along with some bacon. Yes, the Rosti had the expected greasy texture, but just enough to make it savory without overpowering the various ingredients. I would recommend this restaurant if you are interested in trying the traditional Rosti dish in several varieties.

While visiting my company's office in Geneva, the manager selected this place for a team dinner…read more Since he's from Lyon originally, he wanted to share that the place was having a special "game week" menu featuring traditional foods from the area. Since I'm always "game" for a new experience, I was happy to participate! I was a little nervous because when we arrived they had just opened and there was nobody there. However, I soon relaxed and felt right at home, because service was very friendly and encouraging, but with no pressure to try the game menu. I decided to be a little bold and went for the venison medallions. I even tried some of my colleague's wild boar pate, which was good. I started with a pumpkin chestnut soup which I really enjoyed. My venison was lovely as were the accompanying sides. There was a wide variety of side dishes in small portions and I appreciated that. I paired everything with a nice local beer and it was a very nice experience. The dessert menu is extensive and I went with an old standby, a chocolate mousse. It was absolutely incredible. Everything was fresh and delicious, service was outstanding and I could understand that by the time we left, there wasn't an empty seat in the place. Definitely recommend the experience here. It's more than just the food!

Two of us started with the salat mixta--impressive mix of greens and pickled and fresh veggies. Other co-pilot started with the arugula and parmesan salad. That, too was excellent. For mains, two if us had the risotto frutti de mar while other had the filet de perche with frites in the butter-cream sauce. The risotto portion was large and was just what I needed after a day on the slopes--nice assortment of seafood in a tomato base. I had a bite of the perch and it too was excellent (i will order that when I return). No deserts for any of us, but I had an excellent calvados while my friends were given, free of charge, a lemonchello. It's not cheap, but it's very good AND it's open on Sunday b

A unique experience!…read more We arrived 15 minutes before they opened and were the 6 people in line. At opening time the line stretched down the street and was about 35-50 people total. They definitely have it down! There was a line of waitresses (only women waiters work there) they were allocated per group in line and walked you to your seat. There is no menu - everyone gets the same thing your only choice is what you get to drink and if you want your steak rare, medium, or well-done. When the plate of food came out, my husband and I thought it was a small portion and then realized they they give you another helping after you finish the first one. The sauce is very unique and flavorful but, I am not sure I would agree on the food being worth the price. It was a unique place to experience while on vacation but, I won't go out of your way to go there.

I actually couldn't believe I hadn't updated my review to 5 stars awhile ago. I have never had a wrong note with you. I just can't believe I didn't know about your set menu lunch deals! I always enjoyed the 19 CHF plat du jour of the day, but I didn't know you also had a lunch set menu for those with a larger appetite. For only 35CHF you provided me with a delicious appetiser, main dish, and dessert. My stomach was happily full for the remainder of the day. TIP: Other people also love Esquisse at lunch, so definitely be sure to make a reservation in advance. They have a little outdoor seating area on nice days that you can enjoy.

Pair it with l the onion soup. Both were delicious. I recommend visiting one of the best in Geneva. The atmosphere is cozy and rustic and service was good.

I was walking around and stumbled by accident across Restaurant Les Armures. This restaurant welcomes everyone with open arms and staff is more than willing to help you navigate through their Swiss Menu. I walked in around, 17:30 (5:30pm), during their busy time and I asked if they had any open tables available for one person. The manager was so kind and graciously let me dine here. He did say, "As long as you can dine in an hour and a half, you should be fine. We do have reservations set past 19:00 (7:30pm)." I accepted his offer, "I appreciate it, I don't need but an hour." The atmosphere is very historic, dating back to 17th century. Here you will enjoy exquisite dishes and wonderful Swiss hospitality. The staff is more than happy give you great recommendations and help translate menu. They offer great choices on their menu. I wanted something completely local. I settled on, "Féra fumée du Léman" - Smoked Geneva Lake White Fish. My waiter also recommended something on the sweet side for dessert, " Mousse au chocolat suisse et Ovomaltine." - Swiss Chocolate Mousse with Ovomaltine. Every dish was delicious and worth the price. Next time you're visiting Geneva, stop by here and enjoy great hospitality and cuisine.
