Matière is an absolute gem for anyone who appreciates farm-to-table style dining with a "gastro" flair and thoughtfully curated natural wines. The experience is immersive—expect to spend around three hours enjoying their beautifully crafted five-course menu, which changes daily. The chef's choice is the way to go—you won’t have to overthink it, just sit back and enjoy each impeccably prepared dish.

The food is delicious, both in flavor and presentation, reflecting the restaurant’s commitment to quality ingredients and seasonality. The wine list is equally esoteric, featuring a diverse selection of natural and biodynamic wines that pair well with each course.

Service is warm, knowledgeable, on the slower side to complement the dining experience. If you're looking for an intimate, high-quality meal in Geneva, Matière should be on your bucket list.

What a great discovery!!! Wow!!!

The food menu is very limited, but definitely makes it an amazing experience! The quality of food, the taste, the presentation of the dishes is a 5⭐️ level.

A great selection of wines and a better hospitality from the owner himself and his wife.

They haven’t really worked on the interior decoration neither the atmosphere/ambiance, some marketing support and touch is needed to keep this not very well located restaurant a hit!

Keep up the great food coming, I’m definitely giving it another visit, you should too!
