Quite a decent breakfast offering if you stay here: Restaurant Eastwest @ Eastwest Hôtel (19. January 2021)
It was the first time I was staying at the Eastwest hotel and was curious how the breakfast was going to be. And I must say it is decent – it’s far from a chain hotel breakfast buffet but the staff is welcoming, friendly, and takes care of you when you walk in. I went […]
Not a big difference if you order ‘bio’ or not: Restaurant Wine & Beef Fusterie (18. January 2022)
Sometimes you end up in the same place within a very short timeframe – and this was the case for the Wine & Beef Fusterie. Since their lunch menu is relatively uninspiring (as in there is basically just one kind of lunch), I decided to go for the ‘bio’ version of it this time. The […]
Good traditional French dishes with friendly service: Restaurant Bistrot du Bœuf Rouge (17. January 2022)
It isn’t entirely easy to find a place which is still open after 9pm and serves food – but I was lucky and found the Bistrot du Bœuf Rouge which offers relatively traditional dishes like the “Gratinée lyonnaise (Lyon style onion soup with grated cheese)” (CHF 14.00) which was absolutely enjoyable. The soup was intense […]
Great if you love entrecôte for lunch: Restaurant Wine & Beef Fusterie (6. January 2022)
It’s great when you find out that literally in front of your workplace, there is a restaurant which offers a nice lunch menu with a focus on beef. What you get is a “menu salad” which is nice in terms of the salad dressing. And then, you go for the “entrecôte (180gr) with ‘Wine & […]
Great Italian dishes where I did not expect them: Restaurant Osteria della Bottega (5. January 2022)
Somehow Geneva wasn’t a place for me where you’d find great Italian dishes – but you do. The Osteria della Bottega offers exactly that – as a starter I went for the “Uovo, Topinambur, Champignon e Aglio Nero” (CHF 20.00) which was a delicious dish to start – the intensity of the egg with the […]
Simple meat dishes in a cozy atmosphere: Restaurant Le Carnivore de Vieille Ville (4. January 2022)
If you’re in Geneva and it’s late in the evening, it’s not entirely easy to find a place which is still open – but luckily, the Le Carnivore was still open. The restaurant is located on the lower floor and is a bit tight in terms of space but they offer a decent selection of […]
Average but pricey breakfast: Restaurant Glowing @ Hotel President Wilson (5. May 2019)
The President Wilson is overall a lovely hotel – a bit aged in terms of interior design when it comes to the rooms but if you are lucky you get a nice view onto Lake Geneva making it a rather lovely location. What is a bit surprising is the pricing for the breakfast. For CHF […]
When your search for shisha finally has an end: Al Manzil Café (4. May 2019)
Geneva is a place where you have a lot of people from Northern Africa and the Middle East resulting in a vivid selection of ‘shisha places’. But there is also ‘vivid rip-off’. In the Kempinski, for example, they want between CHF 80.00 to CHF 200.00 for a shisha. Excuse me? I mean, that is just […]
