Hotel Archamps Porte Sud de Geneve

A truly historic restaurant which has been serving food since 1850. The present chef has experience in some of the finest restaurants, and it shows! His cuisine is elegant and refined, including dishes such as chuck beef braised in beer (paying tribute to the chef’s Belgian origins) and a delicious vegetarian menu which is always available. An unqualified success!

In the restaurant of this hotel dating from 1750, the team conjures up a cavalcade of delicate, expertly crafted Gallic dishes, made with seasonal produce. Examples: artichoke, smoked whitefish from the nearby lake and buckwheat, or pan-fried calf’s sweetbread, morels and asparagus. The well-curated wine list is definitely worth a gander. The cheerful front-of-house team enjoys explaining the finer points of each dish. The interior sports small bistro tables, there is a peaceful terrace to the rear that is heavenly in fine weather and a casual, affable spirit reigns throughout.

Master Genevan watchmaker, François-Paul Journe, and former star chef, Dominique Gauthier, orchestrate a gourmet symphony that is fully equal to their respective reputations in this swish, upmarket bistro. In a setting depicted by wainscoting and a wooden coffered ceiling, diners are treated to culinary masterpieces such as giant prawns roasted in kadaif and delicately enhanced with citrus fruit and basil, Simmental beef in Voatsiperifery pepper or a tempura of Vallorbe frog’s legs with spinach and a light frothy garlic-spiked mousse. In addition to a relaxed, buzzy atmosphere, you can also ex

In the heart of Eaux-Vives, Tosca is the epitome of Tuscan elegance. Chef Ivan Baretti, born and bred in Florence, who trained at Arpège in Paris, works only with top-notch Italian ingredients, to which he adds a subtle contemporary edge. The stylish interior mingles frescoes, antique books and velvet upholstered armchairs, while the food sings a finely tuned ode to the Mediterranean. The high-flying culinary cast stars slow roasted pork or a medley on a clementine theme that showcase the chef’s consummate mastery and attention to detail. The perfect place for lovers of cucina italiana, with t

Established in the former Eaux-Vives railway station, this venue is much more than a restaurant – it’s an experience! Chef Andrés Arocena deploys his talent to enhance daring recipes, like socarrat of Mieral pigeon, jazzed up with hoisin-laced aioli sauce, or Motril quisquillas paired with blue caviar and a delicate tomato water. This banquet is served in a warm, vibrant, welcoming vibe that is enthusiastically orchestrated by Camille Grange. La Micheline refers to the first train from Annemasse to Eaux-Vives – equipped with Michelin tyres. A culinary adventure that is well worth the detour.

Tucked away in one of Geneva’s liveliest districts, the sleek open kitchen of this dainty restaurant captures your attention right from the start, drawing you into the heart of the action. A blend of modernity and tradition, the score adds an innovative spin to a lineup of classics, illustrated by risotto of mussels, celery, saffron mousse, passion fruit gel or a carpaccio of giant red shrimps, subtly marinated in yuzu, lemon zest and fresh herbs and paired with stuffed carrot rolls and a slightly sweet carrot sauce. The small pavement terrace offers a chance to get a real feel for this deligh

On the shores of Lake Geneva, the luxury Woodward hotel boasts a fine dining restaurant that is the epitome of classy decadence. Diners are seated in an interior, tastefully appointed in dark wood and vivid reds, at high tables or at a counter overlooking the open kitchen to sample a tasting or a vegetarian menu or one of the “small plates” available from the à la carte lineup. Service courtesy of a charming, devoted team! The lunch menu is a steal.
