    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.

    Through the beauty of Yelp, found this spot & what a fantastic find! Most important note that the…read morelocation is actually Moléson and not Gruyères like the address noted. 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!

    We had an amazing lunch in Gruyeres, Switzerland with A friend Thomas and his family who live…read morethere. This is an absolutely awesome place to go and spend the day. 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!
