Typique , cosy but nothing special. Service is the bare minimum. No complains. The food is good but I will not mark it to come again.

Food was good and had a homecooked and prepared with love feel to it. We ordered our steaks medium, but they were served pretty rare and even bloody in some parts. Be warned, as perhaps our definition of medium is not the same in the States. Wine (Savignon Blanc), salad (salmon) and dessert (Lemon Tart) were very good. I have... More

Traditional restaurant in the centre of Geneva with a very passionate owner. Good wine list. High quality products, "cuisine lyonnaise" and nice service make it a place to visit when I am in Geneva. I recommend.

The place was packed and had a great atmosphere although we went for lunch on Monday. We had the salt cased rack of lamb and... More

Book before you arrive and you will be rewarded with arguably the most delicious and enjoyable culinary experience Geneva has to offer. With guidance from the multilingual and absolutely delightful Pascal, we were treated to unpretentious, home-style cooking, rarely available these days - anywhere. A real and proper "Bistro" where the emphasis on food and wine was only enhanced by... More
