Notre-Dame

€€French, International

Chef Maxime Arnold creatively combines fresh regional ingredients in dishes such as beef tartare with black garlic, porcini carpaccio and preserved lemon focaccia. The atmosphere and decor reflect a love of music, compounding the charm of this already cosy setting. In summer, the small terrace is the perfect for a tasty tipple, whether a non-alcoholic cocktail or a glass of wine from the exclusively Swiss selection.

TripAdvisor review sample · 4.6/5 · 73 reviews

Under new management, Notre-Dame has received high ratings for its refined cuisine and welcoming atmosphere. Guests frequently praise the inventive dishes, such as the turbot and African-themed menu, noting their excellent flavor balance. However, some reviewers find portions small or lacking in vegetable sides. Service is generally described as friendly and efficient, though isolated complaints cite long waits or poor attitude. The clean, pleasant setting complements a seasonal menu and a selection of Swiss wines. While a few customers question the value for money, the overall consensus highlights a successful transition with strong culinary execution and a comfortable dining environment.

Suitable for diners seeking refined French cuisine and moderate portions.
