What a GEM in GENEVA !!!
I went there yesterday for a dinner with my wife for the 1st time.
We have been really positive surprised by the quality of the dinner.
The restaurant is very cozy, very nice ambience. Staff working in the restaurant are very welcoming and attentive to the tables and clients requests.

All the dishes were very well prepared and combination of flavors (for our taste) were excellent.

Considering the quality of ingredients and service the final price  was very reasonable.

Congratulations to all and thank you for providing such a good dinner experience to me and my wife.

Special place. The terrace is wonderful. The food was surprising, exciting and just delicious. The egg dessert, that’s not even an egg! The amuse bouche olive explosion and the olive oil you want to slather yourself in its so good but instead you dip the homemade bread in it.
Love how relaxed yet attentive the staff are. Thanks for a wonderful evening.

A fantastic place, the imaginative Chef is so talented, he truly deserves his Michelin star.  Very good service, nice design for the setting and the best is of course the delicious beautiful perfectly balanced food.
Well done we will definitely be back and spread the word!

I had lunch with a friend at the restaurant and we both opted for the fixed menu. The amuse-bouche was amazing. The "tomato pizza" was even more genius. It incorporated a combination of very interesting flavors. The fish was also cooked perfectly, The dessert wasn't my favourite. The young Chef came out and it was a nice touch. I had to cancelled my tasting menu the week after but I will definitely visit when I return to Geneva.

My wife and I visiting Geneva for the first time decided to dine here to celebrate our 50 wedding anniversary.  We have dined in many Michelin star restaurants throughout Europe and have found this restaurant to display exceptional traits.  A strong, reasonably priced wine list , excellently prepared food in terms of both taste and presentation. Large portions!!!!
However from our perspective what makes this special is the service. An extremely young, but totally engaging service staff. Friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Able to explain food offerings and preparation.  Our wine Stewart Stephan, simply blew us away with his knowledge and in-depth descriptions.  We simply felt comfortable and welcomed, something you do not always experience in high level restaurants.  Yes truly a 5 star memorable experience.

Short distance from old town in quiet residential area. Walkable from the lake or very short taxi ride.  Everyone we spoke to spoke English
Thank you
