Hôtel des Alpes

An old-fashioned restaurant of the type that is quite hard to find these days. It has Art Deco-style wood panelling, enamel plaques and coloured windows, as well as a terrace overlooking the surrounding greenery. There is also a traditional feel to the menu, which includes perch from Lake Geneva.

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!

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.

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.

In the heart of the pedestrianised medieval city, this appealing restaurant is laid out over several levels and furnished in a contemporary style. It proposes modern, impeccably crafted and generous dishes, all washed down with the best Savoie wines. Attentive welcome and service. Be sure to book if you wish to enjoy the splendid panoramic terrace overlooking the château and Lake Geneva.

Fancy diving into Lake Geneva! The view is as stunning as the food is mouth - watering. Fish and produce from the lake take pride of place in the menu, as do succulent local specialties. Depending on availability, you will taste pike, perch or trout. A treat for the taste buds!
