Manora is great especially if you're wanting something quick though it's all the way at the top of Manor so either take the escalator, elevator or stairs all the way up to the top floor. I didn't get a chance to ever eat the actual food here and only the pastries of which both were underwhelming. What's great about this spot is that it's cafeteria style. So you have stations and you can grab your tray and order at the made to order pizza station or curries or sandwich or juices. It was cool to see little mugs with chocolate pieces which you can get hot chocolate made in front of you. Seating can get crazy. Sometimes you'll have to share some tables because some tables are communal where we had an interesting encounter with three guys on their phones seemingly talking to someone on their phones....seemed like they were on speed dating or chat rooms. It was really interesting. Anyways, you may have trouble getting a large table, but be patient. There's also a restroom up here too which is nice. I wish I did get a chance to eat something other than the pastries, but at least it's cheap and fairly fast. If you want something faster, just go to the first floor and grab something from there. read more

Restaurant Manora - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Geneva, GE

Great place! I loved the cheese plate! Restaurant Manora is a buffet style restaurant where you get a tray, get food, then sit down at a table! Manora itself is one of the best department stores I have ever been to (In the world!) You can get something on the way (because it is on the top floor.) I highly recommend the smoothies as well! The Restaurant Manora has everything From Pastry's to Fruits! The view is also splendid! I highly recommend this place! read more

OMG, how have I not discovered Manora before, and why have I not been eating lunch here EVERY DAY?? Manora is a food court covering a good portion of the 4th floor Manor Department Store. But don't let the "food court" description fool you, this is not your boring pizza-chicken-or-burger type of joint. The restaurant is comprised of islands of food stations, where they will cook/prepare your food behind the counter as you wait. The pizza station has bowls and bowls of fresh ingredients that you can choose yourself, the grill station has sausages, pork chops, skewers, schnitzels, and much more. You can either choose a fresh cut and wait while they grill it for you, and grab a pre-grilled portion if you're not feeling the wait. Nice sandwiches, an extensive salad bar, espresso station, and an enormous counter of desserts, asian stir fry station, and pretty much anything you can think of. The presentation is tremendously appealing, and prices are reasonable (I got away with a nice cut of fresh pork chop and a side serving of rice and grilled broccoli for about CHF16.50). Dining mate had jambalaya, which, as she put it, hadn't quite decided whether it wanted to be cajun or Asian (cajian...?). It's not the highest quality of food you can find, but I definitely did not feel like I was being gypped of my money, a feeling I get way too often here in Geneva. The very presentation of the food, and the option of creating my own dish piece-meal (and thereby having control over how much I actually spend) was almost an empowering experience, food-wise. We also had the whipped tiramisu and apple crumble, both sinfully delicious. It gets crowded during lunch, but it's mostly eat-and-go traffic, so you won't have to wait too long for a seat. Did I mention the panoramic view from the terrace on a sunny day is amazing? read more

See all

This is a buffet style, self service eatery located inside a mall. We went there for breakfast and it was not bad. There are many pastries and juices that you could choose from. I wish they had more meat options, but then again, a Swiss breakfast is pretty simple. read more

Restaurant Manora - Omelette and pastries! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Geneva, GE

Located on 4th floor across the gadgets and electronics. Food is actually not bad but if you are eating dinner here then yes it gets expensive, spent 75 chf for two meals. Cheap pizza at 10 chf or sandwiches or desserts at 4,50 chf. I got the steak which the price display showed 9chf but charged at 14 chf instead. The department store is great with lots of selections. Self service style and clean as you go. Yes for lunch but no for dinner read more

Restaurant Manora - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Geneva, GE

Reasonably prices and lots of variety - not the mall food courts of the US - this is a fancy place, and you also get a great view of the city. I don't think the food is exceptionally great, though, so the 3 stars. read more

Perfect for lunch, dinner or a quick coffee/drink. Good selections of food. It's a self service area where you can pick up food as you pass by the mini food islands. Also you can wait for the staff to prepare your food also but the food is lovely. Very good if you're on a budget. You can get a great feed for about 14 francs or even less. Very central location also so it's a perfect place to take a break if you're shopping on a Saturday. read more

This one star is only for fruit salad which I will avoid in future but I will continue enjoying other fresh food in Manora! The story: I went yesterday early evening for pastries and coffee before heading to train station and was shocked to see the employee behind fruit and vegetables juices holding a peeled juicy mango in his hand (no gloves use)! He was cutting it with a knife in pieces and you could see every details like mango juice running over his hand and fingers etc.! I felt disgusted! My friends said they'd feel the same! I could compare with restaurants where employees are using hygienic gloves in front of customers and preparing their sandwiches etc.! Absolutely, that's not good! read more

Really great options, and easy for larger groups. Restaurant Manora is a Cafeteria style restaurant on the top floor of a department store (Manor). The food is much higher quality than you'd expect, and there are a number of options, including meals that they will make as you watch/wait. Reasonably priced by Geneva standards. read more

Pretty good for a department store cafeteria. It has lots of choices, some made fresh when you order. It's also a nice place to visit in the summer for lunch, as they have a rooftop terrace with views of oldtown and the lake. read more

Restaurant manora offers a great choice at a decent price. It is a cafeteria style restaurant but with a higher than average quality. The hardest part is drifting from one food choice to another and trying to make up ones mind. The good part is that most dishes are made fresh upon order and there is a bit choice of sides or desserts. The bad part is that it is usually quite busy. In summer with nice weather enjoy the terrace with a nice view of the lake and jet d'eau. Just avoid the smoker side to enjoy your meal in my peace! read more
