Balila - Genève

Delicious food, excellent service, great ambience. Antoine made sure we had a memorable time. Definitely coming back. Came back a few times. But this time September probably better than all previous times. Need to make a special comment on JONATHAN who was an amazing host, with an infectious smile and demeanour that puts you at ease. We had the best table, but we decided to move to a more cosy spot and he was very helpful. We had a very simple order, no wine. Felt no pressure to consume or spend more money. Food was great albeit a bit low on the salt! Thanks again to Jonathan for making this a memorable time.

I was there Saturday evening on the balcony, I already loved the chic but relaxed atmosphere, the waiters and waitresses very attentive, helpful and smiling I loved their cuisine, it was completely new to me. I recommend it to people who like spicy food.

We have been to this restaurant twice to eat the discovery menu. The first time was perfect! Too bad that a few months later they changed the tasting menu, it became cheaper but much less interesting. The service left a lot to be desired this time! We ordered 2 tasting menus (the quantity is not very copious), we had asked for a wine pairing with the menu, but the waiter did not understand. Then we waited about 30 minutes for the food and when it arrived, things were missing. Too bad, because the food is very good!

First of all, a big thank you to Jonathan for excellent service, smiling, friendly and with very good advice. I can't say the same about his very expeditious colleagues. The meal was delicious. Small blemish on the breads that accompanied our meal. Very dry and not pleasant at all. Makes you wonder what they were used for. The rice was undercooked but that was a detail compared to the excellence of Jonathan's service. I wish him success because he far surpasses his colleagues.

Delicious food, great and very gentle staff, amazing view from the terrace, fast service, totally recommend!
