Saint-Gervais - Genève

Owners and his wife were very friendly. The cooking hook came over to present its freshly made desserts. The food was delicious. Can really recommend this place. Page note: Tables are very close together... Or is this the Swiss way?!

The fondue was so delicious and the recommended wine was perfect with the appetizer! The staff was also created such a good and real environment! If you have no fondue yet, try here on your trip in Switzerland!

We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance for lunch one day and I'm so glad we did. It's a gem. We both had the steak a la minute, served with sauce au poivre, fries, and a salad. It was delicious. The steak was well seasoned and perfectly cooked. The ambiance was great we were sitting outside on a beautiful day and there were a bunch of regulars having lunch too. The staff is very friendly. Highly recommend for food, service, and ambiance.

If system allows, I could rate the service in the restaurant 0.1 star!!! I was passing by this restaurant around 18:00 in the evening while I was very hungry and tired after travelling a whole day in Geneva. Whien I entered the restaurant, waiter was sitting just outside the door, busy talking, laughing and smoking with another guy (maybe a frequent customer). I haven't even thought him as the waiter because it is very unprofessional for a waiter to sit down when the restaurant is open for service. Then I entered the room, and he came after me. I realised that he did not speak good English, then I talked to him with my poor French. I asked him if the restaurant was open, he said yes, and he told me it was only available to serve Cheese Fondue. With my insist, he showed me the Menu without inviting me to sit down first. Then I saw the price of the Cheese Fondue at the Menu is 24CHF, a price within my budget. I told him it was ok that I took the Fondue. Then I was guided to sit, and he put the Menu back. He then asked me if I would like to drink something. And I could just had some tap water, which is usually free of charge according to my experience in France. However, he immediately open a bottle of mineral water at the reception desk without even letting me see the price on Menu and the brand of the mineral water in advance. I was just asking how much it was, and he opened it. Then he told me it was 5 CHF. All these things happened in less than five second, and my French language skill was very poor, probably he asked me something I did not understand. But he did not give me any explanation and time to think it over. I was not happy what he had treated me. And I was just complaining it to him in my poor French, that he could have tell me more information before he took advantage of me. He got angry and told me in a very loud voice that it is in Switzerland that nothing is free of charge. And they do not serve tap water free at his restaurant. And he argued that he asked me if I wanted the mineral water. And it was his professional standard to serve me in that way, namely, asking me if I wanted to drink something and then opening the water at the reception desk. During this time, the waitress came and tried to stop him, but he is still talking very loud and angry. I was not very happy with his behaviour like that. And once I was thinking about to leave immediately. However, I was very hungry, and I need to catch a Flixbus in one hour, I don't have much time to waste. Then I stayed there and finished my dinner. During the dinner time, it was mainly the waitress, a very gentle lady who served me very well, while the waiter came back to the sit outside the door and talking and laughing with the guy who was there when I entered the restaurant. It was a terrible experience with the service of the waiter. I strongly NOT RECOMMEND having dinner or drink at this restaurant, particular for foreigner who does not speak good enough French. The waiter, or maybe is the boss, does not have the professional standards to serve his customers, and he is trying to take advantages of the customers with the ARROGANT Swiss prejudice. . AND BTW, where were a few flies, 3 at least, in the restaurant which was very annoying. It was very unusual at the autumn time, which may indicates that the sanitary of the kicken was not good enough.

We stumbled this hidden gem through coincidence while we look for a place to lunch. when we did not book in the small restaurant, which already seemed quite full for a lunchtime, we immediately came to a table and... given menus. the menu is limited, which I appreciate, as this means in the rule that the dishes receive the correct attention. we had an appetizer to share (a teller of cheese and dried meat.) we were happy that we only took one to share as it was quite big. after that we had a traditional cheese fondu and a coffee to complete it. because there was not much cooking involved in our dressing, I cannot really comment on this type of food, but what we got was delicious, good quality and more than sufficient in quantity. the wine was excellent. service was very nice and friendly. the maître tried his best to speak to my British friend in English while he spoke to me French. he regularly checked us and made us little sweat. the bill was on the higher side (as it is in genf) but honestly we had nothing to consider everything and let the restaurant be very happy.
