Description

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!
