Le Cigalon

★ Michelin€€€Seafood, French

Judging by the fresh fish on the menu, you could be forgiven for thinking that this restaurant is on the doorstep of the Brittany coast. For almost 30 years, the Bessire couple has been shining the spotlight on fish and seafood delivered direct from Roscoff and Audierne fish markets, together with scallops fished by divers from the Norwegian Sea. This star-ranked, high-flying gourmet adventure has been going strong for 26 years! First-class ingredients, flawless craftsmanship, generous helpings and tasteful plating – served alfresco in fine weather. For an ultimate cosy experience, book the ta

La Micheline

★ Michelin€€€fine_dining

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.

Arakel

★ Michelin€€€Modern Cuisine, Seasonal Cuisine

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

Tosca

★ Michelin€€€€italian

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

Bistrot Dumas

必比登€€french

This buzzy bistro located in the Champel neighbourhood is often fully booked. The interior is done out simply and tastefully – it is the Art Nouveau stained-glass ceiling panels, as well as the columns, that draw the eye. Their classic take on traditional French cuisine is flavoursome and aromatic, plus everything is made in-house. The service is efficient and attentive.

Le Vallon

€€french

This stylishly appointed classical inn with a pretty pink façade and green shutters welcomes you with open arms. The tastefully luxurious interior is decked in bouquets of fresh flowers and floral wallpaper. In his open kitchen, David Thomas concocts traditional fare with an extremely subtle sprinkling of modern touches (Lyon-style frog’s legs, sweetbread à la meunière). Friendly, attentive service and a splendid wine list (among which a noteworthy selection of reds, also available in magnums). In fine weather, alfresco dining on the terrace and in the lush green garden is heavenly. A country

Le bistrot du Lion d’Or

€€€Traditional Cuisine

Looking down on the lake, this establishment is the epitome of understated elegance and pedigree culinary classicism. A sunny terrace, tastefully laid tables and the blue horizon in the distance. Proper Gallic fare crafted deftly and savvily: Pernod-laced fish terrine, melt-in-the-mouth osso bucco with house-made pasta gently seared in butter, wickedly tempting profiteroles smothered in chocolate and stuffed in cream. Soul-warming cuisine and an on-the-ball service team.

Auberge du Lion d'Or

€€€Classic French

In a chic setting with a romantic view of the Jura mountains and Lake Geneva, you can enjoy modern, creative fare with a weakness for vegetables, illustrated by flame-licked roast watermelon paired with a marigold stock. The enticing lineup is paired with a fine wine list that boasts a few Swiss and French gems. The swish, luminous private room upstairs is the epitome of contemporary good taste.

Kakinuma

€€japanese

This small restaurant in the lively Eaux-Vives district is definitely worthy of its current success. The couple that run it create fresh and elegant dishes that include the most exquisitely sliced fish, tempuras that are as light as a feather, and silky chawanmushi (an egg flan). A feast for the senses!
