"This is a typical French country restaurant in the simultaneously picturesque and mundane Versoix, with verdant forests and 1960s urban concrete buildings nestled cheek by jowl.Don't expect vegetarian, organic or healthy fare. It's rich and heavy on the meats, particularly wild game, heavy on fats; heart attacks waiting to happen. When I asked what vegetarian options existed, the waiter actually snorted, and could not refrain from making jokes about a three course salad meal. While the ingredients were quite available, it took prolonged negotiations to get vegetarian fare.Perhaps it is particularly unusual to get such a request and within the milieu, possibly socially unacceptable. The sense I got was that the customers were expected to genuflect at the chefs creations, which He deigned to allow mere mortals to savor. However, the pumpkin soup, minus the normal wild boar garnish, was quite good, though very creamy.The mixed vegetable plate was more than edible, though again, very rich, heavy on the butter. Butter is possibly considered one of the basic food groups in this neck of the woods. Not my cup of tea, to mangle a metaphor."
