Le Genepi - Châtel

Lovely little stop quite busy but fantastic food warm welcome , friendly place. it looks lovely inside and out i highly recommend

I didn’t like the food. In the Caesar salad with chicken was a chicken schnitzel in a thick layer of breading

We spend a fair amount of time in Châtel both summer and winter and I think this place is great and am bemused by some of the poor reviews. The Genepi does not set out to offer fine dining (try the Vieux Four for that)...but what it does, it does really well. A selection of classic French dishes e.g. Duck foie gras and frogs legs but also delicious burgers and pizzas, really excellent crêpes both savoury and sweet, plus a varying selection of specials. Service is great, really fast and friendly, and English speaking if you need it. As good for a late morning coffee and crêpe as it is for a family meal in the evening.

Overpriced cheap place exploiting its prime location. Rude service. Broken glass and soda’s cups on the floor at am. Just cross the street and avoid this.

This restaurant advertises on the door with “crêperie/restaurant” (pancakes/restaurant), however when we came in (party of and wanted to order pancakes, we were told that they don’t serve pancakes after lunch time, which was a bit of a disappointment and very unlogical for a...place that calls itself a crêperie. Once we made another choice, service was really quick, staff was friendly and the food was nice. Little point of improvement: serving the kids before the parents is a good idea, but then make sure that all the kids receive their meal at the same time.
