"Sunday Opening" Restaurants in Geneva
Il Lago at the Four Seasons Geneva stands for Italian cuisine at the highest level. Clear flavours, precise craftsmanship and selected products characterise the style. The elegant setting on the lakeshore emphasises this class and makes the visit a special experience.
On entering, the focus is on the windows, which offer a view of Lake Geneva. The cuisine is inspired by the surrounding Alps, but also by French cuisine, creating contemporary dishes of international calibre.
This brasserie is a dream restaurant for France fans. There are classics of French cuisine: everything from snails and tartare to the classic grilled entrecôte. But also some Mediterranean and contemporary dishes - a place for everyone.
Chez Philippe is the perfect address for meat fans: wood-fired beef, wagyu and barbecue classics find their way onto the grill. There is also a cocktail menu with New York bar classics. American steakhouse without the theatre - but with style.
Izumi at the Four Seasons Geneva interprets Nikkei cuisine with Japanese technique and Peruvian finesse. The elegant rooftop restaurant offers views over the city and the lake and creates a setting in which the balanced flavours can be enjoyed appropriately.
Here, great importance is attached to the provenance of the ingredients. This harbours surprises: The rice comes from Vully on Lake Murten, the vegetables from local farmers, and the meat and poultry all come from Switzerland. The colourful, elegantly presented plates are a delight.
Ottolenghi himself was there for the opening and made sure that everything ran smoothly. Anyone familiar with the master's cookery books will feel right at home with pita with tahini, vegetarian shawarma or köfte with fish. Cocktails and breakfasts are stylish.
If you were to produce a film about bistro culture, the filming would have to take place right here. A restaurant could hardly be more beautiful and typical. However, patron Benoit Vacher cooks much more creatively and seasonally than is usual in Geneva's bistros.
Arabesque is the place to go for Lebanese food in Geneva. The elegant restaurant with its Middle Eastern ambience offers hot and cold mezze, fish and meat with halal certification. The classic, attentive service is also worthy of praise.
If you're looking for a touch of Paris in Geneva, the Café du Centre is the place to go. There are delicious oysters, fresh seafood and French classics as well as Mediterranean-influenced dishes with and without meat. With a selection like this, every guest will be happy.
