    Very tasty food. We had the vegetables spring rolls and it was very tasty, we all enjoyed them…read more Then we had the Basil chicken and the Cashew chicken. Both were excellent. We had rice too. The servings of rice were really small, crazy small for what you pay for rice. Once again prices of things in Switzerland are crazy expensive. I forget how the rice was but it was something like 4sf for a tiny bit. But the food was good. Service was slow however.

    Of the two Thai restaurants that I've been to in Geneva, Sam-Lor is the better one. It's slightly…read moremore tricky to find than Restaurant Thai, but the food is a lot more traditional. Again, introduced to this restaurant by a local colleague and have been in 2-3 times over the years. If it was easier to find and I was a little braver, then I might have been back more. The slight downside is that it's on the other side of Lake Geneva to the main city centre, and thus puts me off slightly to walk across the bridge and find my way around if I'm by myself. The food is lovely - on my most recent visit, I had the spring rolls and the glass noodles (which come in this really cool pot over a candle!). If I had room for dessert, I would have devoured one! Again, it seems expensive, but I'm comparing to London prices - CHF26 for Pad Thai noodles, if I remember correctly! The staff are really nice here, but limited English if that's an important factor. The atmosphere and decor are pretty cool - there is a canoe boat that is used as a bar! Worth a visit when you're feeling like some alternative cuisines in Geneva.
