Top 10 European food in Geneva, Canton of Geneva, Switzerland

April 16, 2020 Major Galusha

Reviews on European food in Geneva, Canton of Geneva, Switzerland. The shores of Lake Geneva have attracted visitors and invaders for millennia. The cheerful city of Geneva sits on the lake's western shore, lofty snowcapped peaks creating a gorgeous backdrop on all sides. The city is perfect for exploring on foot; rent a bike to venture further. The top of any itinerary should be visits to Geneva's lakefront and its famed water fountain, the Flower Clock in the English Garden, St. Peter's Cathedral, Reformation Wall, Place Neuve and the birthplace of the U.N.

Waiters are so nice and kind. Menu is a bit short but you can order outside the menu as well, ask the waiters for options. Burrata and tomato was fresh and tasty. Ravioli is suberp! Goat kid is also niceExpensive but worth it

This is a nice place where it is easy to have some good time. The menu is short, modern and well balanced and the food is simply good. Good products, nice presentation, pleasant taste. Nothing extraordinary but the pleasure is here. Location is not the best, although reasonably central it is on a high traffic street, but once inside that is no longer a problem. Service courteous and efficient. Prices average. Definitely a good address in Geneva.Dear JMGeneva,Thank you very much for your positive comment. Hope to welcoming you again.Best regards from the whole Team of the Bistro

We visited this place in March 2019 during a conference in Geneva. It was listed as having one Michelin Star and we were intrigued enough to seek it out.An excellent restaurant with quite pricey dishes but a decent amount of extras from the chef to satisfy any demanding customer. Outstanding dishes, though a small selection, made our experience extraordinary. you need to have time to linger over the food and take it slowly as this is not a place to rush through for a quick bite. The atmosphere and the sense of occasion crated by the excellent staff means that you should savour the experience slowly.Very strongly recommended!!Dear Stavros17, We sincerely thank you for writing such a beautiful comment following your discovery of Le Chat-Botté. Great to read your recommendation Thank you for that. It is also wonderful to know that you have enjoyed the cuisine of Chef Dominique Gauthier, the setting of our Chat Botté restaurant and the quality of service provided by our team. Be sure that your compliments will be forwarded internally. We look forward to welcoming you again very soon, Best regards, Vincent DebergéRestaurant Director Le Chat-Botté

We had the full menu and everything was excellent. From the pea soup appetiser through to the coffee, nothing to complain about. As I am not keen on sea food, I was given an eye-catching vegetable salad instead of octopus (which my partner thoroughly enjoyed). The second starter of fish was cooked to perfection as was the duck. The cheese was a discovery for us, delightfully accompanied by tangy apricot. And the dessert was a masterpiece! The pâtissier is mentioned in Gault et Millau, and deserves to be. I cannot get over how exceptional it was. The wine that was proposed accompanied the meal perfectly. If you are ready to splurge out, try this restaurant.Dear Guest,It was a pleasure to welcome you and your partner at our restaurant Le Jardin. The team and I are glad to see you enjoyed our light and fresh summer menu accompanied by fine wine from a selection of Genevan and Swiss vineyards and last but not least our Pastry Chef’s amazing desserts. On behalf of all of us, I would like to thank you very much for your feedback and recommendation. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Despite being from a Nordic Country then I didn’t find it particular Nordic.All the food came from the local area and sounded good but had no taste.The wine card only had names of the producers but not of the grapes so we ended up ordering a bottle of wine that we disliked so much that we didn’t finish it, and that has never happened before.The service was good.Dear perh281,We are sorry to read that your experience was not to your entire satisfaction.

We had six-course tasting menus, with wine accompaniments, to celebrate a birthday. Portions served were small, very pretty, and delicious to taste. Extra little items appeared from time-to-time. There was an extensive selection of cheeses. A dessert of egg whites and orange custard on a bed of crushed dates was sublime. The dining room is modern and attractive with some views out to Lake Geneva. Service was highly professional and excellent. Of course, the price was very expensive…but if you can afford it, the experience is worth it. We did not have to reserve far in advance, although the dining room was nearly full that evening.

Reviewed By OneWayVancouver

Chef Armel Bedouet gave us a sensational gourmet dining experience at L'Aparté Restaurant at the Hotel Royal Geneva. Each dish of his tasting menu was exquisitely prepared and beautifully plated to enhance the flavours, textures, and aromas.L'Aparté is a separate dining room located off the end of Bogie's and Le Bistro in the restaurant area at Hotel Royal. Our very attentive and knowledgeable waiter, Thomas Scott, assisted Chef Armel, and also translated the verbal descriptions of each dish that the chef gave into English.We pleasantly lost count of the delicious dishes we enjoyed. Standouts were a "deconstructed" Sushi, the Char "cooked" in sea salt; tender Pigeon Miéral (seared breast of pigeon served very rare) with White Asparagus; Roasted Langoustine; a flaky tender Seared Sea Bass with Spring Vegetables; and an exceptional Morel Stuffed with Poultry with an Almond Milk Foam and Shaved Asparagus. Chef Armel's tasty marine choices reflect his seaside roots from Brittany,The sommelier, Gaëtan Dubret, chose for us a yummy Swiss 2015 Pellegrin Pinot Gamay that paired extremely well with all the dishes.Thomas helped me with a delicious selection of local French and Swiss cheeses made from cow's and goat's milks for my dessert, My wife agreed that the aged Gruyères were fabulous. Thomas brought my wife a "pre-dessert" of red fruit gazpacho to cleanse and refresh her palate, followed by a sinful plate of crumbled shortbread with red fruits and a scoop of strawberry sherbet. OMG...Thomas then brought one final plate of a variety of irresistible cookies and chocolates!This tasting menu was a dining extravaganza that was sheer indulgence. Who could resist!Thank you so much for your amazing review of our restaurant.I am pleased to hear you enjoyed your dinner with us. It's something our staff takes great pride in, so we value your feedback. Chef, Gaëtan and Thomas are all ready to welcome you as soon as you wish!Best regards,Nicolas Sabatier
