"We spent two evenings in the late summer in Geneva and both times we ended up on the lively terrace of this restaurant. Since we had just finished dinner, we didn't eat here, but settled for wine. The restaurant is located right in the heart of the old town, next to a beautiful little square and park. The service was fast and friendly and the prices were reasonable for being in Switzerland and the center of Geneva. Until next time!"

"This cafe has a nice and large terras on the square, amongst many other cafes, and it is nice sitting there to relax. We came for lunch and they have a small list of daily dishes on offer. We took their greek salade, and that tasted quite good, although the portion is rather small for a lumch and also considering the price charged. As others remarked, the servers are all good-looking, professional and very competent."

"This is one of the best places in Geneva’s Old Town to hang out solo or with companions. It is perfect for drinks and appetisers (no food) after work or on the weekend. The drinks are a little pricey but won’t break your bank, and the great ambience esp on warm sunny days and evenings make it worthwhile. The waiting staff are super attentive and offer an excellent service. Definitely worth a visit."

"The lunch here is superb. We were on a 3 day stay in Geneva and sat here for lunch, not expecting to eat some of the best food on the trip! We got the chicken pasta (dish of the day) and the dish with shredded duck with Foie Gras sauce. It was so good, that we tried to go back for dinner on our last day, but unfortunately this place does not serve dinner. The Atmosphere is probably fine if you are ok with cigarette smoke. lots and lots of the patrons smoke and the square is misty. I didn't appreciate it, but the food was absolutely worth it! USA visitors should definitely go. I haven't had food this good even in LA (my hometown) it's very close to the lake & and 2 minutes walk from the ST. Pierre cathedral."
