With a decor à la…read moreMarie-Antoinette with ribbons, nice draperies, an old carrousel car in the front window, this place serves all things chocolate, tarts, pies, in bite sizes. Casual, you pick a plate and try to choose something out of the whole tasty display. You usually end up crowding up your plate. For my first time at Chez Gautier, a gem right off Geneva railstation, my friend Stephanie, a regular, recommended the home made soup. Ordered a zucchinis and leek soup that came with bread bites. Nice, natural and tasty soup that wasn't too salty, nor too rich. I paired mine up with a nuts bun sandwich with gruyère and the Swiss dried beef, a thinner, tastier and healthier version of the US beef jerky. We both went for a sweet touch with a nut scone that turned out to be a little more of a biscotti and I had the meringue tangerine tart. Delicious! I would highly recommend Chez Quartier, a gem in the heart of Geneva where the service is nice and polite, you get tasty food for fair prices.

This little cafe is absolutely amazing and definitely my favorite spot in the city. For 9.90, you can have one of four meal combos: two sandwiches, a dessert, and a drink; a soup, a sandwich, and a dessert or drink; a quiche, a dessert, and a drink; or a salad, a sandwich, and a dessert or drink. You can't go wrong with any of these, because everything I've had here has been delicious. My personal favorite items: the pistachio chocolate mousse, the carac, the spinach quiche, and the espresso. (Definitely the best espresso in the city, in my opinion.) Service is great, there's wifi, and the atmosphere is cozy. You can't go wrong.

The ambiance is fantastic. It is a small place, and most tables are perfect for groups of 2-3, not more. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They also have a brunch on Sunday's. They are open til around 11:30pm at night, and have a wine/beer selection. The menu is a small chalkboard with the daily fresh options of salads, toasted bread w/ toppings, and quiches. The desserts are home made, and looked amazing, but I didn't get the chance to try one. I also want to try the tea selection sometime.

This is definitely not a place for large groups. Only one table is large enough to seat 5 people comfortably. I love how the owners have made this small space seem larger and brighter with the great use of light and mirrors. You are also welcomed by the mouth watering pastries in a large glass case. Even though we didn't have reservations we were in welcomed with smiles, and shown to a table, it was my lucky day! The menu changes each day, and you can choose from a plat du jour, salads, other cooked lunch dishes, or sandwiches highlighted on the other side. They also have a open wine to purchase by the glass highlighted on the menu. TIP: A carafe of tap water costs 2CHF. We took the plat du jour for only 19 CHF and it was served with a basket of delicious bread. The portions were quite large and definitely fill you up for the rest of the day. The plat du jour was a turkey pasta w/ basilic lemon sauce. It was the first time I had turkey in a pasta, yet it was perfection! Everything was fresh and juicy and melted in my mouth. YUMMY! We couldn't exit without trying a pastry. We tried the tarte tatin. One of the best I have had! I will definitely be back here again for a visit. Plus, I still have to try their homemade hot chocolate which they were highlighting!!
