There are lots of nice restaurants in/near Geneva; it's impossible to narrow it down without at least focusing on a specific cuisine (and maybe price range). 

I'm not really an expert since I don't go to restaurants often, but here are mine:

* Top-end, I'd probably go with Parc des Eaux-Vives (the bistro is cheaper).

* For Chinese food I like the one in the Kempinski hotel

* For Japanese - Miyako (near the train station). 

* Burgers - Club House (haven't been to Roadrunner and Holy Cow yet)

* Italian / Pizza: Several decent ones, none that really stand out. Maybe Da Paolo in Eaux-Vives if you don't mind the crowd and noise.

* Relais de l'Entrecote for beef with garlic butter and fries (I haven't been there in ages but liked it last time)

* Cafe de Peney is nice but I found the choice quite limited.

L'Esquisse   -    Best food I've eaten in Geneva, great fun atmosphere.

Mamounia - Fantastic couscous place, always eat too much, so good, can't stop.

Entrecote St Jean - Like t'other Entrecote, but a bit more funky.  Great atmosphere also, younger crowd.

for burgers, Ingelwood is the best (holy cow is a bit less good I think)

(it's near Unimail, on plainpalais)

restaurants are difficult to taste, it depends of personal taste...  

you still can registre on the itaste.ch website you'll get some good ideas  :)))

Thanks Edward! I'll try the Parc des Eaux Vives

By the way, Holy Cow is quite nice!

Thanks Royle, I 'll try L'esquisse this week!

Merci Bertrand,

I like both Holy Cow and Inglewood, what is YOUR favorite restaurant in Geneva?

Great Clare, I wanted to try it for a while, now I'll definitly go!

my favourite. I'm not too much into restaurants, but I like :

chez cartouche, in the center of lully. Best malakoffs in the area and some nice cheese fondues.

Le café de Paris, near cornavin, but it's more because we go there each year with my family

La Colombière a small place in my village (Neydens, in France) where they serve delicious "filets de perches" (I love it and it's near me, that's why I love it). 

Speaking of Holy Cow, tomorrow (Tue) we're featuring it on BuyClub. I admit that since it opened, I've been hitting it at least once a week...My favourite is the big beef burger with the Spicy Monkey sauce. Excellent. 

I also love:

- Jeck's Place in Paquis for Thai

- Little India in Paquis for Indian

- La Tratoria near the train station for their Penne Arrabiata. 

This thread is making me hungry...

Mc Donald's.

ok kidding 

Chinese food : well my place for sure, then Hotel La Réserve

Japonese : Takumi in plainpalais and Movenpick hotel close to aiport

French : 3 Rive gauche in old town and cafe de la gare des eaux vives

Italian : trattoria or Incontro for penne siciliana and Pizza camilo in rue du stand

I think i will do a trip to Luins .....

I also recently developed a taste for the "all you can eat gambas" places in geneva. All these place are pretty much the same I think, but I tend to hit one called Le Furet close to Charmille. If you like Gambas and Garlic, and a lot of oil doesn't scare you, it's a decent place. 

I can see why you're working out so much.

the mate is simple:

1 plate of gambas in oily sauce = 4 hours of gym. 

I usually eat 3 plates per sitting. I do 1 sitting per week = 4 per month. 

So in 1 month, I need 16 hours of gym just to burn off the gambas! And I didn't even start counting the Indian food and the burgers...(-;

sorry, wrong mate. It's actually 48 hours just to burn the Gambas!

*I thought that mate was burning more calories*

sorry.....

A VERY nice place is the peruvian restaurant MALOCA !!!! AWSOME PLACE !

1) Da Paolo for Italian ...in eaux vives

2) Cafe Papon - old town...

3) Pad Thai - rue de Monthoux 50

4) Cafe Bollywood for Indian, place navigation Paquis

5 Sal Sabeel near UN - Indian /Pakistani 

6) Le Calamar in around plainpalais for burgers

I like there rest...

Na Village - Thai (Good lunch menu)

Souan - Japanese (Best sushi in Geneve for me)

La Ferme de l'Hospital - French (You need a car, near by annemasse Migros, best french near by Geneva for me)

Ah, Sorry Muriel! you are french girl.

Maybe not interested French rest which I wrote...

Le Flacon in Carouge. Not particularly cheap, but very, very good.

Any Vietnamese recommendations?

I like Cho Lon at Rue de Zurich 43

lunch set is pretty good but they don't do it on wkend.
