Sandor Jones
★★★★★a month agoMy wife and I were lucky enough to eat here our only night in Geneva. What a great experience. From amazing fresh baked bread, incredible salad and soup, to one of the best steak and potatoes (au gratin) combo I’ve ever had. Pascal really treated us well and provided a great eating experience. This place is a must.
Melanie Lee
★★★★★9 months agoWe had the 3 main courses from the lunch menu, french onion soup, sorbet assortment and creme brulee. Everything was delicious. Even the starting bread was yummy and our kids loved it.
