★★★★★4 months agoMy favourite place to have good cocktails on the terrace in Geneva. We were 4 loud women having a great time together last night and le Verre a Monique delivered as always. Thanks again! We will be back!

★★★★★a year agoAmazing cocktail place. exactly the type of cocktail bar I love, with dedicated, knowledgeable staff and original, one of a kind recipes. Everything we tried was great and our server - unfortunately we forgot his name - was the best! We even got digestive shots on the house, with a cool love story behind the liquor 🥃 totally recommended.
