There are news places which grab your attention from outside when you pass by. And that's usually…read morehow we discover them. But there are a few that you want to discover even if you never saw them and have no idea how they look like. You don't know what appealed you so much when you've heard of them but you just can't wait to discover! That's what happened to me for Les Filles Indignes. Maybe it's the name which attracted me actually. You know, when something which should be repulsive (why would I like to spend my precious coffe/lunch time sourrounned by indignity ?!) actually get you attracted. A bit like if I tell you " don't look at my chin " and you automatically look at it ! So when we scheduled our first 2015 Elites Geneva coffee time with (wonderful :) Lisa S. I thought of meeting there ! The place is freshly opened (Jan. '15) and has a great size. Left part is the Epicerie fine and right side is the coffe/drinks/bar area but you can sit everywhere you want and even the left side has couch area. And then, behind, stands the treasure... What makes me like this place more than many others... What makes you feel you are in a movie (romantic one :)... The bookshelf. When I see it, I wish I had an entire life of freetime available. To sit and drink coffee while discovering books. Unfortunately, nobody does. But we all have rainy sundays ;) Though, and that's the only tiny disapointement I would point out : Les Filles Indignes are not open on sundays, for now. It's not that bad. They have plenty of charms to appeal you on week days and why not grabbing a book on Monday morning at 7:30 before starting the crazy week? Aside coffees and Epicerie fine, you will find nice wines as well. Did not taste them but will for sure pass by very soon for afterwork time because they seem deliciously repulsive! ;-) Astuce (which I like SO MUCH that I can't help myself from mentioning it as an Astuce and in my reviews as well) : if you bring a book you've finished reading, they offer you coffee ! (as long as the shelf has empty spaces ;) Hurry!

We ask for the menu.. they don't have one! We got served a half tea pot of hot water and a half cup of coffee without even a word from the waitress! Well, to summarize we didn't feel welcomed, and I don't think we'll come back!!! It's as shame because it's one of the rare places that are opened in Sundays (even though it says otherwise on the door) and it could be very nice!

Now, that being said, for breakfast, we wanted to keep it light because we would be traveling later that afternoon and didn't want to feel heavy making our way to the airport. It was also Easter Sunday, so most places were closed. Easter is a nationally recognized holiday in parts of Europe, so it's treated much like Thanksgiving or Christmas and most stores were closed. Both factors limited our options, but thankfully this coffee shop was open for business. It was located around the corner from where we were staying, so it was really convenient. They offered an array of pastries and coffee options. We ordered the croissant, fruit tart, blueberry & cream cheese muffin. We also ordered a latte complete with latte art! I think of all the pastries, the croissant was my personal favorite. It was flaky & tasted fresh (not sitting out all day). Although there are many other coffee options in the area, this one is worth trying!

If you choose a seat on the right side you can get a nice view of the water and Old Town as well. Something to know is this Starbucks is very centrally located, so during busy times of the day it gets very crowded and backed up, but otherwise a great place to grab a quick cup!

I've had better coffee. The place is bright, a few locals and the ambiance relaxed. Towards the back of the café there are several doors open to other rooms, looks like storage areas; this definitely takes away from the ambiance. The path to the bathroom is like in a Victorian age motif... looks out of place. While it's not a run down spot at all, it does feel a little tossed together. It was good to check out, but not enough here to bring me back.

Casual, you pick a plate and try to choose something out of the whole tasty display. You usually end up crowding up your plate. For my first time at Chez Gautier, a gem right off Geneva railstation, my friend Stephanie, a regular, recommended the home made soup. Ordered a zucchinis and leek soup that came with bread bites. Nice, natural and tasty soup that wasn't too salty, nor too rich. I paired mine up with a nuts bun sandwich with gruyère and the Swiss dried beef, a thinner, tastier and healthier version of the US beef jerky. We both went for a sweet touch with a nut scone that turned out to be a little more of a biscotti and I had the meringue tangerine tart. Delicious! I would highly recommend Chez Quartier, a gem in the heart of Geneva where the service is nice and polite, you get tasty food for fair prices.

I found this place through a Time Out article I read on the best cafe's in Geneva, and I am so…read morehappy I decided to stop by during my stay. It's a cute, hip. chic cafe that serves, well, chou pastries! They have your typical cream puffs with different flavors, and savory eclairs, which I found very surprising! They also have cute little chouquettes and other viennoiseries. I got the Caramel Buree Sale and Black Sesame chou (2,80 each), and the Chèvre Frais (fresh goat cheese) savory eclair (5,50). All of them were presented beautifully, and WOW. If I had all the money in the world, I might spend all of it on these chou pastries!! the Caramel Buree Sale was the perfect sweetness - just a little bit salty and very very rich and smooth caramel. The Black Sesame was also so amazing. Much sweeter than the Caramel, but it was so creamy and the black sesame flavor was very prominent. The savor eclair was also so devine! the goat cheese paired very well with the artichoke, and the carrots and pomegranate made a nice addition to it. The chou pastry itself was just amazing, and not sweetened, which made it ideal for both the sweet and the savory. So buttery, slightly crisp (but not crispy, if you know what I mean) on the outside and soft (but not mushy) on the inside. I also got two chouquettes (,50 each) for the road because my experience with the first three items were just so darn good. Little did I know that they would barely last 10 seconds, because they were so. frickin. good. I got the plain sugar and chocolate chouquette (they also have an almond flavor), and as i took my first bite of the plain sugar one, I literally said "holy hell" out loud because i was so startled at how good it was. It was light and airy, but also just a little creamy inside. The chocolate one was just as good as the sugar one. I think I easily could have devoured a dozen and not feel the slightest bit guilty. If I lived in Geneva, you'd bet everything that I would be a frequent customer, especially because they rotate their chou flavors constantly, so you'd always get to try a new flavor! The staff was also very kind. For the majority of the time I was there, it was just one girl hustling the floor, and yet she took the time to take my photo when I asked her.

We got there after the morning/early afternoon rush on a Saturday so many of the options were sold out. What remained was good (small savory eclair-type sandwiches that were interesting - most seemed to have Mediterranean-type seasonings/ingredients so a little more interesting and tasty than what you'd find at some traditional boulangerie/cafe). Worth stopping by if you're in that part of the city.
