Well worth a visit for coffee and cake or lunch. Nice informal and friendly atmosphere. Good quality coffee and great place to people-watch. By the bus terminus if you are going on or finishing a tour of the city.

The food is never a disappointment and the service is kind as well as multi-lingual. The Cottage Cafe Tea as well as the pumpkin lasagna are personal favorites

We had breakfast here after reading the reviews on Tripadvisor, plus it was near to our hotel. What a find! Brilliant, tasty home-made food, excellent service and a friendly, warm, laid back atmosphere. I recommend the homemade bread and jam, and chocolate brownies. Delicious!

Our hotel recommended Cottage Cafe for lunch before we left Geneva. It's a great recommendation. Staff were excellent. We had a great table. The food is great. It's a simple menu but really good. Nice wine list. If you need somewhere casual in Geneva you could do worse. Recommended!

We had a lovely lunch here. It's a really quaint atmosphere definitely the kind of place you want to sit and talk with friends. I ordered a wild mushroom soup, it was a very large bowl and really great, they served it with great bread grilled with a little cheese and cherry tomatoes. My husband had a grilled fish dish...

At the recommendation of a friend (who told us this was his favorite restaurant in Geneva), we walked over to the Cottage Cafe, an actual cottage placed uniquely in a small square among the lakefront hotels. We had made a reservation only a couple of hours in advance, and the 3 of us tucked into our table for what turned... More

If you're looking for an original place to have lunch (relaxed or business), you can go there without an hesitation. The only minus is the noisiness. Special plus during the summer, with the terrace. Reservation is STRONGLY recommended

Love this place for drinks with friends in the (few) warm nights in Geneva - sitting outside is a bliss, and they have good drinks. Would be perfect on a Sunday pm but it's closed!
