Looking for a restaurant to watch fireworks

Hi all,


Does anyone have a suggestion of a restaurant where we can see tomorrow's Fireworks, but where we don't need to take a fixed menu?


My wife doesn't eat meat, so otherwise it might make things a bit complicated, even if I don't doubt that some of them could make some changes. A la carte seems easier, but I don't know if anyone does that. 


Would prefer someone on my side of the lake (paquis-Bellevue).

You will be very fortunate to find anywhere so late in the day.  Most such places are booked several weeks in advance and, as you already realise, a meal is usually part of an expensive package.


So hob-nob this time and make your reservations well in advance next year.

Thanks for the useful feedback, Oomach.  I hope Reny is taking due note.


As for me personally, I’d rather easjet to a decent seaside hostelry for +24 hours than ooh ah a few fire crackers, but one pays one’s money …


And happy watching to all those who like that sort of entertainment.

Well, I called a few restaurants that were obviously full, and found a good spot by the lake in Genthod to watch them with friends while having a Barbecue. We of course didn't see the same way as if we were in the city center, but in a much more relaxed setting.


 


Thanks to both of you :)
