We wanted to have authentic French cuisine before we left Geneva without breaking the bank. We came there just after 7pm with a reservation and was sat in the back with a few adorable tables. The waiter and the host (most likely owner) were so friendly and welcoming. The menu was all in French so luckily my Google translate app helped us figure out what we wanted. We stayed for about 2.5 hrs and spent 100 CHF for 2 glasses of wine, still water, 2 main courses and 2 desserts. 100% would recommend to anyone wanting to experience a wholesome French cuisine!

Great little find 5 minutes from our rented apartment. The 5 of us were seated inside since we didn't have a reservation but we were by the door so benefited from a draft on the warm evening. All of the dishes were great (perch, lamb shanks, beef cheeks) and the service was lovely.
