Great location and Ambience. Our server we so friendly. Had the perch, chef's kiss . Highly recommend.

Miss italia - very good

Service was very slow here even before dinner rush. Good views of the lake depending on where you are sitting. Street can get busy as it is near the commercial/business area of Geneva. Food was not bad, but quite pricey as you are probably just paying for the views. It's not bad food, just mediocre.

Dinner with friends     Awesome food and service

Best Italian Restaurant awesome food,service And lake views in Geneva Alberto was awesome server

I've read some blah reviews of this restaurant, but all that I can do is review my particular visit. We thought that we were settling, as we were having a hard time finding a nice place on a Sunday night in November, then we came upon Le Lacustre, and we couldn't have expected any better experience. First, keep in mind that you simply cannot be in a hurry when dining (fine dining) in Switzerland - particularly the French-speaking part of the country. That being said, service was fantastic. Food was wonderful - including the starter, wine, and dessert. Veal with mushroom sauce, herbed chicken with hand-made butter noodles, calzone, and Margherita pizza. Bon appetit!!

We stopped here as we were walking along the lake so that we could take a drink. The service wasn't exceptional and the appetizer lacked flavor. I had a plate of bruschetta which really consisted of bread with tomatoes (absolutely no seasoning). Rather bland in comparison to the bruschetta I've eaten in the past. I also took an aperol spritz which was not the best... the prosecco to aperol ratio was not even (too much aperol). This place is the type of place you go to enjoy a view and to be seen but I wouldn't go for much more. Before I am quick to judge, I will go back for a meal and update my review then!

My view from the bar.

"Extremely rude and inefficient service. We were ignored, they were not interested in our business. Shame, great location." That was the review that drew me to this spot. No joke. All of the elements stated in that person's review were correct. Moron, this is Europe. This is the resto paradigm over here. Tasty Swiss fare. Deelish cocktails. Life-changing views of the lake, canal, architecture...history. Service...meh, these people don't rely on your crappy tip, American fools, so they don't bug you every two seconds. The sooner you understand that concept the quicker you'll acclimate to the European vibe and chill-the-fuuuck-out. Be like Louis R, travel to Switzerland.

Food was okay but horrible service and brought us the wrong food. Great view but at a cost for sure.

Still going to Espresso club for lunch as I was the first to review this place way back when. Pizza…read moreis my only choice there these days and my favorite is the Angelo, although I have tried a bunch, even the one with the maple syrup and cream cheese. Its my favorite pizza in the region for sure. When I walk in, they know my order. The crust is perfect , not too thin and not to thick, but the vegetable and meats are sliced super thin which makes the pizza super good.

My husband and I wandered in here about 30 minutes before they were ready to serve food. Instead of…read morekicking us out they welcomed us to the bar to have wine and wait until they were prepped for the day. The husband and wife team that run the restaurant are so incredibly kind. They did there best to communicate with us in English and make sure we felt comfortable and welcome. We settled on pizza for our lunch and it was WELL worth the wait. Made fresh right in front of us and served immediately out of the oven. The only thing that made me wince a bit was how expensive the lunch was. We did not do our research ahead of time and did not anticipate Geneva to be so expensive. This pizza is well worth the price! Please visit next time you are in Geneva. You will not be disappointed!

I was very glad that I tried Don Duarte, which I had passed several times while walking around in…read morethe area near my hotel. The restaurant has a very casual vibe, with many locals who seem to hang out here. I tried the dinner special, which was the Filet de Boeuf. The beef was tender and flavorful. It was served with a wonderful house sauce, potatoes, and mushrooms. The special included a salad, bread, and choice of dessert. (I chose flan, which was delightful). With a large bottle of sparkling water, the meal totaled about $40 CHF - really a pretty good value for the quality, portions and considering Genève prices. The service was good and in the Swiss / French style of not bugging you while you eat and relax! I will return. I would like to try their octupus next.

On a mission for the best grilled octopus in town and I think this might be it. It is only the 4th…read moreplace where I've tried it and so far it's the clear contender in the race. One other thing I must add in this epic heatwave...the place has air conditioning ...real air conditioning. Not the stupid European kind that cools the room then turns off until you start to break a sweat...or the kind that keeps you only semi-clamy...real keep you cool AC. ...and grilled octopus with some flavor..and butter. Don't be afraid of a few more fat and calories girls..this is dish is worth it.
