Gastronomy in geneva : from fondue to michelin star

Swiss specialities are a must during your stay in Geneva. To taste them, head to Le Gruyérien, a Swiss institution par excellence, or to Buvette des Bains des Pâquis for its famous fondue and its breathtaking views of Lake Geneva. For a “chalet” atmosphere, go to Les Pâquis at the Hôtel Edelweiss, with its uniquely decorated restaurant, or to the Auberge de Savièse for its traditional raclette. In the Old Town, don't miss the Restaurant des Armures, an emblematic establishment where Bill Clinton and Georges Clooney have sat, or Restaurant de l'Hôtel-de-Ville, the meeting place for Geneva’s international and political guests. The most contemporary, the Swiss Chalet, awaits you upon arrival at the airport. Finally, a few steps from the Grand Théâtre and the Parc des Bastions, you can taste the inimitable Emincé de veau à la Zürichoise and its home-made rösti, in the warm and freshly renovated setting of the Cave Valaisanne-Chalet Suisse. 

Discover “on the go” addresses throughout the city that will allow you to eat quickly, at any time, and always with quality. In Plainpalais, Bao Canteen offers real “gua baos”, small, popular Taiwanese steamed dumplings. Close to the train station, try out Panino Giusto, the den of the true Italian panino. For burgers, it all happens at Black Tap. The “best burger in New York” has arrived in Geneva for all fans of the round roll. At Denise’s, in the heart of Globus department store, starred chef Philippe Chevrier treats our taste buds with refined and creative burger recipes. For brunch lovers, Marcel welcomes his guests throughout the day with more than comforting dishes. Granola, with its three branches, delights all gourmets in search of balance, from breakfast to snacks. You can also stop at Oh Martine! to take away or sit and eat one of their creative sandwiches and, of course, their banana bread. Finally, ideal during a shopping trip, try out a slice at Nero's Pizza, the real Roman pizza “al taglio”.
