Je ne parle pas encore français bien, so I am going to have to review this in English…read more It suits this place because English is most of what you will hear in this bar. I have a string of great memories from this bar all starting from my first weekend night living in this French border town. St.-Genis-Pouilly is a fairly common place for so-called CERN-ites to live. It has several apartment complexes that are available for month-to-month leases. It is less than a mile from the Swiss border and a bus stop that runs directly through CERN and downtown Geneva. And it has this bar, where construction workers, engineers, physicists and other expatriates sit down for a friendly pint and make new friends. I walked in here alone on my first Friday night and within a few hours, I had made great friends that would last my three month stint. The selection of beer and food resemble that of a British pub. As with most pubs, however, the value of the business lies in the friendly service and clientele. This bar served as a meeting place for my Friday and Saturday night goings on. This eventually extended to Thursday and Wednesday and sometimes Tuesday and maybe even a few Mondays. I shared many a round with the bartender, her sister and friends, the CERN rugby team, nuclear physicists, Swedish au pairs (!), and even a few locals. All in all, not the greatest food or selection but a five star pub in a perfect location for a young man learning the ways of the world, both big and infinitesimally small, one international city at a time.

It sticks in my mind because some girl decided that she didn't want to hang around with her mum any more, and wanted to hang around me, and the fact that my French is pretty bad didn't really disuade her. Anyway, yeah, it's a pretty nice pub with good service and decent beers, which I definitely appreciate.

As far as Geneva Irish Pubs go - this isn't a bad one. In fact, I would go as far to say it's the…read morebest one in Geneva at the moment. Let's begin with the major positive point - The food, which is out sourced, is rather pleasant and a welcome change to most of the grub you get in Geneva. You can tell, hands down, that this is all freshly prepared and tastes like it too. The half ribs and chicken is my favourite, but then again I am a lover of ribs. The pies are tasty and the chips are certainly some of the best in Geneva. The price as well isn't something to grumble about and as you don't order their garlic mushrooms (trust me, thats the one thing you don't want to eat there) then it's a lovely experience. Another positive here is that the staff have always seem to have a big smile on their face. The music is a lot more Irish than in some watering holes and the decor is some what Irish, although less so than the lovely, yet awfully managed Mulligans in the centre of town. There is free wifi and they show lots of the GAA so big plus there. Many a night I have spent here and got drunk, and would recommend it to anyone having a little get together!

I am a vodka and cranberry juice girl and most bars don't even carry cranberry juice, which my French friend tells me is rather new to the area all together. Never the less, this place had cranberry juice and the bartender made ms a fabulous cocktail, served in a giant iced tea sized glass no less. They also carry one of my favorite beers Franziskaner. I tried the fish and chips - great, not greasy at all. My only issue with the place was I couldn't order a plate of french fries alone. I don't understand that one, but I liked it there and the band was fantastic, The Square Brackets.

If you're looking for an English speaking crowd in Geneva, you have Mr. Pickwicks, The Clubhouse,…read moreand Lady Godiva. Among these three, Lady Godiva is definitely the nicest. We found ourselves hungry in the southern side of Plainpalais, when we happened on LG. We had actually been looking for another restaurant, which was closing just as we arrived. I convinced my friend, who was by then suffering from starvation-induced crankiness and despair, to give the generically-Irish looking pub a chance. Stepping inside is a surprise, as it's much nicer than you would expect from the plain black exterior. The bar is long and deep, with huge chalk-writing on the wall announcing their specials and cocktails. The windows are adorned with Christmas lights, which somehow avoid being tacky and actually creates a nice environment. And if you're like me and don't like pubs in general, the restaurant-like setting makes LG feel almost elegantly romantic, as long as you can get passed the big screen TVs showing football or basketball. Most importantly, of course, the burgers. We both had the Town Burger with Cheese, and I was a bit skeptical as they didn't ask how we wanted our meat cooked. So I was very pleasantly surprised to find the meat with a juicy pink center! I'm apt to believe that the lovely Lady Godiva has decided that burgers should ONLY be cooked medium to medium rare, and has made an executive decision not to offer it any other way. The patty could have used just a little more spices, but I was very happy with the quality of the meat. I'd forgot to ask them to hold the thousand island dressing on the burger, but was very happy to find that the burger only had a very thin swirl of the dressing on the bun, just enough to add flavor without making the burger soggy. Oh, and did I mention that the bun was beautifully toasted and tasted really good? The fries were thick-cut, "typical British fries," according to my British dining-mate. They weren't outstanding, and I had a few fries that seemed a bit under-fried. Lady Godiva was one of the places that have been touted as having the best burger in Geneva. In fact, I think pretty much all burger joints in Geneva have been raved about by someone or other as having the "best" burgers. While I wouldn't say Lady Godiva was the best, I would happily give it a top 2 or 3 rating among the places I've tried so far. It's also on the other side of town from the other two English/American pub options, so definitely worth a go if you find yourself on the left side of the river looking for a friendly crowd to watch a game or just have a good burger.

I've held off reviewing the Lady Godiva Pub, also known as Lady G to locals, for a number of…read morereasons. I've had friends work here and quit due to the behaviour of the owner, and I have had friend refuse to ever go back because of problems with staff. Needless to say this is as blunt and honest a review as I can give. To start with, lets just address a major problem with this pub - It's price. Located in the heart of the 'cheap' student area of the city, the price is more expensive than some of the hotels next to the lake! The food as well is priced extremely high considering the options available around the area. There are very few deals on, and despite the rather impressive selection of beers on tap, the selection of other drinks is rather limited. Secondly, this is more of a restaurant than a pub... and to be honest I would rather call this a Gastro-Restaurant than a pub. The food selection is large and over priced, and the qua lit is nothing to rave about. They recently did a revamp not he food menu, but it is still appalling. On a more positive note, the amount of sport that they show is great and it does seem to fill up nicely for the odd big event that they host. However, friday night after 11, this place becomes a grave-yard. The pub quiz is good, although there are better ones in Geneva, such as The Clubhouse. To sum up, this pub seems to be stuck & in need of some major changes; but all is not lost!

Merveilleux! Magnifique! And I don't even speak French!…read more We were directed to this café by a tour guide and through online recommendations. It was one of very few eating establishments near our hotel, so given its popularity and being aware of the need to have reservations for dinner, we decided to try a mid-day lunch. There was nobody eating indoors, so we selected an outside table. The area is mostly shady and has a nice feel, but tables are rather closely spaced, and if you're sensitive to cigarette smoke, you might not enjoy this. The menu has many classical Swiss dishes, and the place is best known for its outstanding fondue. We ordered this to share. A carafe of water, our wine, and a basket of not-so-fresh crusty bread (uncubed) came first. Then the fondue (in a cast iron pot), my gazpacho, and my husband's salad arrived. The waiter offered a half portion of salad, which was perfect. My gazpacho was slightly textured, had hints of garlic, onion, and peppers, and came with mini-croutons. It was perfect on that hot afternoon. But the star of our lunch was the amazing fondue, which was thick and flavorful. We did have to cut up the bread for dipping, and it certainly could have been fresher. There were lots of sparrows trying to get their share of it. All in all, this was a great afternoon meal at a reasonable cost (for Switzerland, anyhow). We'd do it again in a heartbeat!

Since the place is known for fondue, we had to get that and it was really good. I could have just eaten that and been fine but I didn't know that ahead of time and ordered some ravioli, which was very good too. Service was fairly friendly and the food was great, so I give it two thumbs up. I will say the seating is a little tight but they're trying to give as many people as possible the opportunity to eat here so I get it.
