The Opéra Bouffe |
|
|
On an opera aria  At lunch and dinner, refined seasonal cooking and afternoon tearoom with, as the restaurant's name suggests, a leitmotif of opera arias as musical background. Cherubs, mirrors and beautiful objects in a setting which can turn intimate when evening comes. A good address which we always recommend with pleasure.

Café du soleil: fondues and Malakoff's |
|
 A typical Lyon style little tavern, very popular at lunch time with expatriates. Quite understandably so, as many international organizations are located nearby. Their fondue is said to be the nicest in Geneva, they also have local specialties like the Malakoff's, and nice salads and meats, which you can enjoy for a very reasonable price. A nice terrace that fills up very quickly in the summer (booking is more than recommended), pleasant service and friendly atmosphere: all the ingredients are there to make this cute little restaurant an excellent address.
