Just thinking about the meals I had makes my mouth water. Chef Franck Giovannini and his wife Stephanie both took the time to inquire if I enjoyed the meal and shared some delightful anecdotes with me. Be prepared for a 2.5-3 hour lunch that will truly delight your taste buds. Highly recommended!

My husband and I came here for my 40th birthday and made reservations 5 months ago. Once we arrived we were seated and given the wine menu once we chose the wine the sommelier said it was a great choice and went to retrieve it(the bottle was around 900 Swiss francs). In a couple minutes he returned stating that they don't have the wine we selected. Being a 3 Michelin Star Restaurant THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN! Then we had to chose another wine. Then when we got desert, they gave me a chocolate desert and it said happy 50th birthday. When it should have said 40! But that's not the worst of it! When we came to the hotel my husband was in the bathroom half the night. When I woke up in the morning, I was throwing up and it lasted all day!!! This was probably the worst experience I have ever had! We love going to fine dining restaurant and have been to several 3 Michelin Star Restaurant but this was TERRIBLE!!!

I loved it!

I want to see that as a diner. the cheese car must have had more than 40 different cheeses from which generous portions were served; exemplarary. actually, the whole experience here is one that feels very generous and is worth more than the price. the quality of the technology and skill shown in each individual court must be learned. if I had to recommend only a 3* michelin restaurant without question, l’hotel de ville would be my suggestion; quite simple, eating is not really better than that.
