    Buvette Bains des Pâquis - Käsefondue 27 CHF

    Note: It is 2 CHF per person to enter the Bain des Paquis and to access the eatery…read more This locals favorite "refreshment cafe/ bar" on the Bain des Paquis seems to be a constant recommendation and easily the best destination if you are in search of an affordable meal in franc-powered Geneva. Order your food at the cashier and seat yourself in one of the two covered outdoor sections with benches, or take it out onto the grass if you so desire. The affordable item is always their "Plat du Jour"/ dish of the day, 15 CHF (~18 USD). During our visit, it was a wonderfully refreshing "Ceviche de Cabillaud"/ cod ceviche marinated in lemon. They also serve Fondue here at 27 CHF per person (if requested), though we made the mistake of ordering a portion for 2 people which was not necessary after ordering 1 plat du jour each. This was brought out for to us at a bench we eventually secured. The Gruyère cheese was quite rich and on the saltier end. The bread they supply you with was a bit too crusty. The expectation is for you to bus your plates near the kitchen window when you finish eating. The environment was quite lively on a Friday night, the younger generation out in full force in bathing suits, cooling off after a 90 Fahrenheit day, with some beats bumping from an on-site DJ. Authentic environment to intermingle with the locals and fumble your way through your non-existent French.

    Geneva is super expensive. Finding a decent meal and a drink without spending a ton is pretty rare…read more We heard this place was a locals spot. You order your food and drinks at the counter. 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.

    La Ferme A Dédé, Grenoble, France ( Gare location) Date of…read morevisit : July 25th, 2024 My to go restaurant when I go "home", almost always my first meal when I am back. Unfortunately, while the service is still great, the food is just not as good as it used to be. ATMOSPHERE/DECO Typical Alps/mountain décor, the restaurants decoration is very cool with ski, old farming equipment on the wall. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Lot of windows and light. SERVICE Very friendly and fast, our waitress was also funny and helpful. They have several wait staff speaking foreign languages as well. PRICE Price was good for the area. Dinner for 4 with drinks and wine was under $150. FOOD Sadly, it was not as good as it used to be. While my go to order, hanger steak with morel sauce was still excellent (and I highly recommend it), my dad and brother fondue was just not good at all. Not very cheesy and taste like cornstarch (or other thickener agent), the charcuterie plate for the fondue was ridiculously small with sub-par quality meats. Dessert was also not as good as in the past, the profiteroles puff pastry was likely frozen and harder than I like. The ice cream, chocolate sauce and whipped cream on top were excellent. MISCELLEANOUS There is no parking close by so keep that in mind. They do have English speaking staff and I do believe I saw an English menu. They do have AC but it's not very strong (at least for Americans lol). Bathroom was clean. La note de Sebo Atmosphere/Deco 5/5 Service 5/5 Food 3.5/5 Price 4.5/5 Misc. 5/5 OVERALL 4/5

    TL;DR: Loved raclette so much I came back twice in a week :)…read moreFair warning, this is a slightly biased review as this was my first taste of this new eating experience that is raclette Our table ordered the raclette (min 2 people) and each of our plates included charcuterie, some boiled/steamed potatoes (communal), and a green salad (communal) ...and of course...the raclette! The charcuterie meats were nice thin cuts with great flavor and the smokiness paired super well with the melty salty cheese along with the soft pillowy potatoes Scraping the heated melty cheese onto the plate and quickly enjoying the combination of flavors, temperatures, and textures was so exciting and fun! The wine (Crozes-Hermitage for local regional wine) was excellent, as well Santé, Dédé!

I have attempted to update this Yelp address but worst case, go to google to see the correct address.....in Moléson Farm animals & rollercoaster landmarks helped to ensure we were in the right spot We parked at the bottom of the gravel road in an empty lot across the street - the road leading to the fromagerie is pedestrian only, so this will be your closest parking. Small incline leads you to deliciousness. There is a small case of cheeses and meats to the left and the restaurant is to the right. Very traditional setup with wooden tables and benches. We loved it from the first minute! We ordered the macaroni with cheese (it was penne but outstandingly scrumptious). The cheeses and caramelized onions were the perfect blend Also enjoyed the croûte with an egg.......this is much like a croque without the meat......it was heaven! As we ere lucky enough to find this lace at the beginning of our stay in the Gruyère district, you better believe we'll be coming back for that fondue!

There are a lot of farm animals at the restaurant for the kids to play with and there is even a roller coaster adjacent to the restaurant that they can ride on. The scenery was just particularly beautiful and it was a beautiful day celebrating with friends. We had cheese fondue bears and lots of fun!
