It’s a nice looking bar with friendly staffs around. The drinks are cool. I will like to visit again.
I went there a couple of months ago and I basically write only now, because I’m still very angry about everything. The place is a typical vegetarian unfriendly restaurant. They served me a dish so small and ridiculous, even a 7-year-old child would have asked for more. First of all, they gave me a bad look, when I asked for something vegetarian (that didn’t exist on the menu) and served me later a dish where they just left out the meat. So I ate only a really tiny bowl of lentil and 3 very tiny potatoes for over 25 Franks! The mistake that I made was to moan about it only when the bill came. I normally stay always calm when it comes to negative issues during a restaurant visit, but this time the whole place made me really angry. I simply refused to pay the whole bill and asked for a reduction for the ridiculously small dish. The arrogant waiter asked me “since when does the client set the price for the dishes?” and I told him that the dish was a joke. So the waiter started arguing with me about my attitude and reminded him about his own attitude. The conversation lasted about 5 minutes and at the end the waiter called me a “conard” (= idiot)… I finally paid the whole price because the waiter didn’t want to hear what I had to say. This is by far the most ridiculous restaurant experience I’ve ever had in my life.
It changed owner recently (sob sob). Don't know yet what to think. Part of it's lovely crew keep working there for a while. Time will learn us more about this change...
don't go hungry as the menu is short or sold out. Otherwise a good mix day & night. They close in August.
I'm with you on this one Joelle! But admit it to the people... We go there for the EXTREMELY good-looking bartender! But sure... it's a nice 'Friends'-caf? style!
I love this place it is definately my favourite bar in geneva. always a really friendly atmosphere and definately more local/less expatty... you hear french being spoken here :-) really friendly bar staff (a couple of whom do speak english)and a really friendly crowd.and really cool drinks.
this place has the biggest marinated Octopus salad en Suisse for just 7CHF! tastey and nice scenery
