€€Italian
This delightful, tastefully appointed inn boasts a warm gregarious interior and a handsome terrace surrounded by greenery in summertime. At the helm of this popular, buzzy eatery are chef Enzo Buffarini and his wife Cinzia, both veterans with stints in world-class establishments. Italian cuisine at its best: fresh, flavoursome and meticulous courtesy of premium ingredients. The à la carte repertory features pedigree classics that rub shoulders with a four-course surprise menu. Their vitello tonnato deserves special mention. Beautifully maintained guestrooms also available.
€€Contemporary, French
If you're passing through Genolier, be sure to stop off at this charming Auberge! Filipe, the young chef here, serves fresh, tasty cuisine infused with contemporary flair: think fillet of turbot grilled skin on, with pesto and crunchy vegetables. An enjoyable mealtime.

€€Classic French
This elegant 17C mansion marries bourgeois comforts and French fine dining with an accent on rich sauces and seasonal produce. Flawless, spot-on service and a subtle hint of nostalgia courtesy of old sewing machines turned into side tables set the scene. Highlights of the flavoursome menu include textbook-perfect steak tartare, prepared at the table by your hostess according to each diner’s personal preferences and served with piping hot fresh fries – a traditional meal, rich in ritual and with all the trimmings!
