Chalets de Trémontagne 3 étoiles

This authentic and sophisticated dining experience is the brainchild of Frank Xu, the descendant of a Shenzhen cooking dynasty. Some of his signature creations include dim sum of foie gras, fillet of seabass in ginger, Peking-style duck (served in two courses), or shrimps in a balanced blend of breadcrumbs, garlic and chili peppers. The “Diamond” menu for two, which includes duck, is highly recommended. The red, black and gold colour scheme mingles exoticism and elegance, while the floor-to-ceiling windows lead onto a spacious terrace that is bliss in summertime, and which overlooks a swimming

All the more reason to come to this culinary landmark in the vicinity of Geneva in an ideal location surrounded by vineyards and off the beaten tourist track.

Perfectly suited to the swish, intimate vibe of Hôtel Royal in which it is located, take a seat at one of the restaurant’s four tables and let yourself be guided. The chef serves each elegant, immaculately crafted dish himself, explaining the ins and outs of their preparation. You will sample a lineup of outstanding produce – Swiss veal and beef, fish straight from Brittany, Bresse poultry, harnessed to ambitious cuisine packed with character. We recommend booking well in advance, particularly in the evenings, both in light of the seating capacity and its popularity, which is not about to wane

In addition to a jaw-dropping view over the lake, hence the restaurant’s name, we were enchanted by the high-flying repertory of Danny Khezzar served at the Hotel President Wilson’s fine dining establishment. Under the expert guidance of award-winning executive chef Michel Roth (Meilleur Ouvrier de France and Bocuse d’Or), Khezzar crafts a masterfully creative version of pedigree French classics. The dishes, whose plating is modern and sophisticated, are served in an airy, elegant setting, the centrepiece of which is an incredible suspended table made out of Saint-Louis Amadeus crystal.

Both the restaurant, and the Hôtel des Horlogers in which it is housed, are the epitome of sleek, cutting-edge cool. In addition to an elegant designer interior, guests can savour panoramic vistas of nature through huge picture windows. The seasonal lineup harmoniously blends classical and traditional flavours (succulent stocks and addictive sauces) and is crafted from primarily regional ingredients. An uncluttered decor provides the perfect foil to bold, modern plating and high-quality recipes. If you are dining in a party, don’t hesitate to order the dishes to share, but before that, it woul

The iconic Four Seasons hotel, Geneva’s oldest luxury hotel (1834), dripping with pilasters and frescoes, is the setting of Il Lago, or Lake Geneva’s classy remake of the dolce vita. The kitchen team offers high-flying Italian cuisine, with the odd Mediterranean accent, rich in aromas, subtlety and delicacy. The quintessence of fine dining.

In the heart of a wine-growing Jura village, opposite the town hall, the modern architecture of this restaurant is depicted by wood, glass, steel and zinc. It is run by a youthful team of associates, most of whom have been mates since high school, including chef Vivien Sonzogni and his wife, Noémie.
