"This was my son's real find for a cheap meal (by Geneva's standard) when we visited for the marathon. By concentrating on chicken (two ways) or pork with rice, or handcut chips with a green salad the restuarant is able to do what they advertise. That is in and out in 30 mins. Don't get me wrong this is definitely not a MacDonalds! Plentiful outside seating in a quiet back street and masses more room inside. With cheerful staff it was extremely busy. We dined here twice. Note closed on Sundays (like most of Geneva)"

"This 'cafe' was next door to my hotel and, following TripAdisor ratings, I went to it, quite late after my flight. The welcome was warm and the menu terrific. I had foie gras, following by morels (mushrooms) cooked with basil and cream, then a splendid rhubarb and strawberry compote with meringues. The service was excellent. Good wine by the glass and all reasonably priced, especially for Geneva! I was taken to the same restaurant the next night by my Genevan host and again had superb food- quail terrine following by an oriental prawn and squid dish. All delicately flavoured and perfectly cooked."

"Comme chaque été, je traverse la ville pour venir un soir ou deux à La Storia, Leur terrasse est superbe, en retrait de la route. Les distances de sécurité sont respectées. La carte, toujours les mêmes entrées et plats originaires de la botte. Avec en prime, quelques suggestions de saison.L'assortiment La Storia, composé de charcuterie et de légumes grillés, servi copieusement, c'est bon. En plat nous avons pris le tartare de bar. Si la qualité du poisson ne se discute pas, l'assaisonnement était un peu trop présent et masquait le poisson, dommage. Les frites maison, top. Le carpaccio de boeuf et roquette, frais et goûtu. Le service, toujours sympa et proche du client.Bref, malgré le bémol du tartare, cela reste une belle adresse italienne où j'ai toujours plaisir à venir."

"Great food, always fresh ingredients and friendly service. This is not a chic restaurant in any case, but I was always made to feel welcome and never had a bad meal. It is popular among locals and tourists alike. I go to food product is the assiette poulet or schish taouk that is a dish of salad, hummus, tabbouleh, baba ganoush and grilled chicken... The Falafel is also very tasty and not dry like many other places. The prices are very good considering that it is Geneva and the salad plate with chicken and a drink is about 21 to 23 Swiss francs."

"Jus in case you didn't understand the title, a pommier is a golden apple tree. At the last stop at the end of the No3 trolley bus in Gandol cross the road and you will find the restaurant. It is not pretentious but airy and attractive, it has a terrace on two sides.The Manager/Owner welcomes all guests and seats them, menus are brought by staff, aperos are quickly brought. The menus are extensive and as expected in an Italian restaurant there are two kitchens, the normal kitchen and a pizza kitchen. We were quite close to that kitchen and the Pizzas coming out looked good. The M/O came over he speaks Italian French and English, and described special dishes and wines and helped us make our choises. We started by sharing small shell fish which came from Italy it was accompanied by home made fries, then my wife had a steak which she pronounced excellent and I had deep fried squid which were most enjoyable. The wine was excellent too. Well fed, we walked across the road to find No3 bus which left almost at once and we were home in 15 mins!"

"After many years of dining at the Cafe de la Paix, I have become very disappointed with the standard of service and the lack of clientele at what has been a very reliable and popular bistro. Tonight when I arrived, I found the restaurant to have only a few tables occupied and with the rear section shut off. Quite surprisingly and very unlike Geneva, I was told by the sole waiter to hang my coat on the coat rack he made no effort to welcome me). My guest and I then waited for a drinks order to be taken and we considered leaving at that point. Eventually our wine and food orders were taken and we settled down in expectation of a good dinner. While my starter of cal amaretti was excellent, my guest's dish of ravioli was cold and had to be rejected. His replacement dish of scallops was much better. Our main courses of Black cod and chevreuil were very appetising and we enjoyed them with the Gevry-Chambertin which we had chosen but only after being informed that our first choice of wine was not available!! In summary, the food was up to standard with the exception of the cold ravioli but the atmosphere and service were not anything like we had experienced on many prior visits I have to ask the question as to whether the owner is being distracted by his other restaurant in Carouge. I hope not but tonight's experience does not give me hope that the Cafe de la Paix will be in operation in the near future."

"Ex Café Huissoud, institution ou il était légion de manger des fondues, ce nouveau restaurant situé à la Rue du Stand en ville de Genève est idéalement situé car proche de Bel Air (5 minutes à pieds) et desservi notamment par le tram qui s'arrête devant (le no 14 notamment). L'intérieur est joliment décoré et l'ambiance y est chaleureuse.La carte est principalement axée sur des plats italiens et des vins de ce même pays ce qui n'est pas pour nous déplaire même si quelques breuvages genevois (supplémentaires) ne seraient pas de trop. En business lunch avec des collègues, j'ai opté pour les pâtes au saumon et je dois reconnaître que mon plat fut bon et la cuisson correctement effectuée. Les plats sont aux alentours de 23 à 29. ce qui est en ligne avec ce qui se fait dans le quartier.Le service fut agréable.La proximité des tables empêche toutefois une certaine intimité notamment si l'on veut aborder des sujets professionnels. Cela reste une bonne adresse pour manger un plat italien."

"Neighborhood restaurant which is part of our top 3 in Geneva. We've been going there for years and it's still delicious. Meat or fish, there’s something for everyone. Really a safe bet. On the other hand, a quick phone call to reserve is necessary because like any good address, it quickly fills up. A little extra, children are welcome and a menu specifically for them is offered."

"An unrivaled meat feast at the Taverne du Valais in Geneva! I'm a regular at this place, and I must say it's a true meat lover's paradise. Without a doubt, it is the ideal place to savor the best charcoal meat in the city and the canton and appreciate pieces of stale meat of exceptional quality.

But now let’s talk about the real star of the Taverne du Valais: its charcoal meat. It was simply divine! The meat was tender, juicy and melt in your mouth with every bite. The flavors were rich and savory, with a depth that revealed the exceptional quality of the meat. Plus, if you're a fan of stale meat, you've come to the right place. La Taverne du Valais offers a selection of stale meats, carefully prepared to achieve the perfect level of tenderness and flavor. It’s a real treat for the taste buds and an unforgettable taste experience.

"If you are looking for a GREAT authentic Swiss meal this is your spot! As soon as we walked in we were greeted very warmly by Morgan who immediately took our coats and made us feel at home. We asked Morgan for a local Swiss wine recommendation and the wine he picked was amazing! We let Morgan guide us with our dinner selections and once again he did not disappoint both our meals were excellent. As is usually the case with a great dining experience the food and drink were Great but it was Morgan's personality and Service that really made this a truly great experience to remember. Thank you Morgan for a Great Dinner!"

"We ate there with a large group from work with a pre-reserved menu. A foie gras and salad for starter that was of high quality, with a nicefruit compot to accompany the foie gras; a trout filet on rice and vegetables that was perfectly prepared; and a tarte tatin with an absinthe ice cream. All nicely prepared, well presented on the plate, only the absinthe taste in the ice cream was a bit weak. Service was friendly and efficient, despite the place being full. I will go back."

"This place is right next to a Novotel hotel so if you don’t speak French, it is ok. They are fluent in English. Great selection of food and the sides are yummy. One of us can’t eat handle too spicy, the restaurant tries to accommodate the soft tofu soup for her and it turned out great."

"(Traducido por Google) El mejor deli, pero también las mejores hamburguesas de la ciudad. El personal es genial, el servicio es perfecto y algo más que me encanta de este lugar es la música que suenan. Pruébalo, te encantarán las hamburguesas (y por supuesto, los sándwiches). Voy a tener que quitarme una estrella porque recientemente noté que cierran mucho antes de las horas indicadas. Eso no es agradable. (Original) Best deli, but also best burgers in town. The staff is uber-cool, the service is perfect and something else I really love about this place is the music they blast! Try it, you'll love the burgers (and of course, the sandwiches). I am going to have to take one star off because I recently noticed they close much before the stated hours. That is not nice."

"This Lebanese restaurant was recommended to me by a Lebanese colleague who knows the gastronomy of her country very well. Very good sign! Come several times for different occasions, last night there were 4 of us, without reservation and we had 50 minutes to eat and leave. Promise kept, it was delicious, quick and efficient. Thank you so much! Each time I visit, I can't wait to see you next time! Recommendation I go there with my eyes closed."

"A bustling lyonnaise style bistrot in the Pâquis area of Geneva. The decorations and tables were all in the classic style. The service was very welcoming and quick. If you are into steak, this is the place, go no further. From sirloin to fillet steak (Tournedos) and their famous beef wellington (call in advance for it), all are cooked to perfection. They have very good dishes of the day, but for this review, I stuck with the main menu. I had a terrine stuffed with morilles mushrooms to start off, followed by the Tournedos Rossini which comes with an indulgent pan-seared piece of foie gras and dauphinois potatoes as side. The accompanying sauce is both rich and luscious. I finished off with the desert of the day which consisted of a tasty chocolate and carmel tarte. All in all, I would highly recommend visiting this establishment with friends, family, business or even on your own. It is well worth the experience."

"My husband and I went to this restaurant with his sister and parents, we were five. There were 2 waiters and it took about 5 minutes to come and take our coats, which I found a bit long for a smallish restaurant like Diwane. Both...of the waiters were stressed and running around. Once we ordered 12 mezze dishes, we were served dishes progressively, which was fine. We asked for a water pitcher and never received it. When the first batch of mezzes came, we had not been served any bread. We asked for it and had 6 small pieces (triangles) of bread served. When I asked for more straight away (as we were 5), the lady (we think she was the owner's spouse) told us that the bread is served in this size so its stays warm and that they keep an eye on our table to replenish as soon as we finish the batch. Unfortunately, we had to ask and wait every time our bread was finished a very unpleasant experience. over, this same lady was falling sick or something and she was coughing into her hand and then touching plates to serve guests without washing them. The owner of the restaurant was also there and didn't seem very happy with his team as he was constantly criticising/scolding the waiters and we could even hear him from the kitchen. The great thing about this restaurant is its food fresh and delicious. We especially liked the moutabal, hummus (don't take the spicy one as it's not spicy at all), foul moudamas, grilled haloumi and taboulé."

"We came at 11:00 am and were told they only do fondue after 11:30am. We waited around 30 minutes before being seated inside. We had the steak (25,90), fondue (25,90) and profiteroles (10,50) to finish. The steak was not my favourite. It was thin and too charred. It was also chewy. I would not recommend you order it. I did like the fries though (3/5) The fondue was a whole different situation. It was life changing. This was our first fondue in Switzerland and omg it was good. The flavour was deep. The combination of different cheese and the white wine was amazing. They offer the fondue with bread and you can get refills. It was just too good. I would definitely recommend you come for the fondue don't leave Geneva without it. (10/5) The profiteroles were okay. Chocolate was a bit sweet. Wouldn't recommend. (3.5/5) The reason I gave this place a 5 was because the service was so nice and friendly. And did I mention the fondue?"

"Wir waren mit 13 Personen zum Abendessen dort und es sah nicht so aus, als hätten sie Erfahrung mit großen Gruppen. Der Kellner bemühte sich, nicht für regelmäßige und vegetarische Gerichte zu sorgen, aber als das Hauptgericht serviert wurde, wurde es einfach auf den Tisch gelegt, ohne zu berücksichtigen, dass Lamm Biryani vor vegetarischem Abendessen gehalten wurde und so weiter. Rotis wurde viel vor dem Gemüse serviert und deshalb wurden sie kalt. Es war alles durcheinander und mochte die Bedienung der Server und die Restaurants nicht, da sie nur eine Person für alle hatten. Das Geschirr wurde spät abgeräumt und daher kam spät Wüste. Dieser Ort ist eher ein von den Menschen kreierter Hype. Leicht vermeidbar Zuletzt spuckte der Server während des Gesprächs vom Diner während er sprach, und er merkte es erst, als sie darauf aufmerksam machte. Das Messer, das mir gegeben wurde, war am Rand gebogen. Der Service und die Verspätung haben den ganzen Abend verdorben. Wir waren für 3 da. 5 Stunden. Tut mir leid, aber nicht wieder dort gong oder jemandem empfohlen."

"The restaurant is really nicely decorated and friendly. The waitress was very nice and responsive. We ordered 2 mezze and a main meal. Everything was delicious. We enjoyed the food and the ambience of the restaurant. We definitely recommend it!"
