Great food and a wonderful selection of wines including higher end Swiss wines. I had the seamed mussels and fries. It had a wonderful flavor. The mussels were on the smaller size but that's ok since there were so sweet tasting and the cream broth was amazing. The fries were crispy and delicious. My friend had the duck breast. It was extremely tender and not gamey tasting. The wines were amazing I highly recommend having Swiss wine since it rarely exported. The service was wonderful and staff was extremely attentive. read more

We loved the style and interior, and the food was delicious. Also it is centrally located so great if you go to a concert afterwards. We had a great time! read more

My family and I love French food, and our concierge recommended this spot. We ordered the bone marrow, escargot, duck leg, mussels pot, sausage, and sorbet as dessert. I thought it was pretty cute how they'd keep the fries and other dishes warm with candle holders on the bottom. The food was solid, and their waiters are friendly. Would def return! read more

We were confused when speaking to the hostess about our reservation. Turns out the person who made it reserved the correct time, but for another country. The restaurant did scramble to get us in that night. It was a little tight inside, but well worth it. The head of our party ordered 2 dozen oysters. He claimed they were the best and I would have to agree. For my main, I got the Milanaise Revisited in Elephant Ear. Don't worry it's not really an elephant, but flattened veal breaded and fried to perfection. It was wonderful especially with some crispy fries. I did get to enjoy the Candied Irish Lamb Shank. It comes in a large pot and I swear it feeds at least 2 people. The savory thyme reduction was decadent and the potato with porcini mushrooms made this a heavy, but wonderful dish. I wish I had the stomach to eat it all. read more

Great fresh seafood and service. The mussels sauce is to die for I wanted a bottle to take home. Great wine selection and prices. Scottish salmon cooked on point but large portions so I would definitely get the mussels and maybe share a main course. read more

Went here as the reviews were good. Overall way overpriced, even for geneva. The service was lacking and the food was just ok. It didn't help that we had some super annoying Asian influencers next to us who were more concerned with streaming than eating. After an unreasonable wait we finally got our food of tiny scallops. They were tasty but overpriced. Overall a disappointing experience and we won't be back. read more

I love this restaurant! I was here maybe eight years ago and had to come back. Now I'm only in Geneva one day, and I chose to eat both lunch and dinner here. The food is delicious, the service is impeccable, and the atmosphere is lively. This place has it all. It is a must when visiting Geneva! read more

I have been to Brasserie Lipp many times and it almost never disappoints. Meat, fish, veg are always well prepared and delicious. The interior is pleasant, and the staff are very professional. The only time you may find that it is not up to par is on a Fri or Sat night when it is packed to the maximum and the staff can be overwhelmed but not because of the food. It is consistently good and would suggest you make a reservation on your next visit to Geneva. read more

We were lucky to get a table here! 8:30 on a Monday evening and the place was hopping with contented couples and celebratory business diners. All I can say is order the Moule Frites! The broth is heavenly, and the portions generous. The pumpkin ravioli was sweet and perfectly tender; the Irish lamb shank was incredible, sweet, complex, and fell right off the bone. The whole staff, while still French in attitude, was swift, friendly, accommodating, kind, and impeccable. We were sad that this was our last night in Geneva -- we will certainly return here on our next visit, and bring our family and friends! read more

I've lunched at Lipp twice now and find they have incredibly fresh seafood and interesting Swiss, French and German influenced dishes. I would certainly recommend it for a business lunch. It's relatively expensive, but just about everything in Geneva tilts toward the expensive side. The service is prompt. Not exactly brusque, but perhaps not so indulgent as to spend much time explaining the dishes in detail. The staff speaks both English and French as most of the service industry in the city. In two outings, I can say I would happily return for a third round. read more

Amazing food and excellent service! I had the Salmon dish and floating island desert.

Super spot for seafood. Expansive restaurant with reasonable prices, good service, and good food. The cold appetizer seafood platter was a lot of fun and the oysters on the half shell were delicious. Note that this place is on the second floor inside the shopping plaza, and not really signed from the street... wasn't intuitive finding it. read more

A fantastic French Brasserie with all that comes with it. Great seafood and meat. Expensive but totally worth it.

This place was recommended to us by many people in Geneva. We were lucky enough to secure an outside table on a beautiful evening. It was the perfect way to end our Geneva trip. The wine list has a nice variety, so we ordered Bordeaux blend with dinner and it was great. We had enjoyed happy hour before arriving. So, we only ordered mussels for an appetizer. The mussels were served in a delicious broth and were cooked to perfection. The bread provided to us was perfect to dip into the broth. For our meals, I ordered the white fish, which was cooked to my liking and served with just the right amount of lemon. Other entrees ordered were duck breast, shrimp, and grilled beef filet. The shrimp were whole, so my friend didn't really enjoy removing the head and tail of each shrimp. Everything was very flavorful and presented well. The sides were warmed using tea lights, which was a nice touch. The portions provided just the right amount of food, leaving you feeling satisfied. For dessert, I ordered the chocolate cake. It was warm, gooey, and delicious! My husband ordered a Mille-Feuille dessert, which he devoured. The pastry cream between the layers was great! As stated by other reviewers, the restaurant is a little pricey. But, the service and quality of the food warrant the price. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area. read more

By far one of my favorite places to eat in Geneva. The service is great, the food is excellent, and the wine is amazing. Had dinner here three of the six nights I was in Geneva. By far the best dish is the quenelle. The quenelle sauce is so savory. Finished every meal with the Coup Williams, which is a Pear Sorbet with Pear Schnapps poured over the top. Best to book reservations. read more

My boyfriend and I ordered 800 grams of mussels for 40 chf. The wait staff happily continued to bring more bread as we needed it. The mussels were the best I've ever eaten! They were boiling in a white wine cheese sauce that was the most delicious I've ever tasted! I can't even explain... they were so good. 80 grams was more than enough for us, and they were awesome and set up a stand with a fire underneath so the muscles were constantly hot. oh my gosh. I wish I could give them 10 stars alone for their mussels. They were SO GOOD. I admit other things on the menu are over priced, but I'd come back every week for those mussels. Holy crap. So good. read more

Delicious food and so many choices. I was blown away by this restaurant. I didn't expect to be so impressed. Great food. Great selection. Great variety. Great service. Classy clientele. Great location in an upscale area in the center of town. I had the escargot as a shared appetizer. Delicious. Classic. Traditional escargot and exceptionally scrumptious. I was dipping bread into the remaining sauce bc it was just too good. I also shared a tuna sashimi appetizer. Of all of our meal selections, this was my least favorite. They attempted to overdo the seasoning. It might have just been better as simple tuna with soy. I wouldn't order this again. I ordered the scallop entrée. Absolutely exceptional. Fresh. Perfectly cooked. My only complaint is that I could have eaten more ;) I believe it came with five smaller sized scallops. My table also ordered the lamb dish. I was told it was exceptional and the meat fell off the bone. It arrived in a covered metal pot. Neat presentation. For dessert I had the meringue floating islands with caramel. OMG. Delicious. Unique. Just thinking of it again now is making my mouth water. Only cons: 1. Nowhere to hang out and have a cocktail before dinner. 2. So popular that you cannot walk in without a reservation. 3. Very expensive (appetizers were $25 and entrées were $45-- on average). I would recommend this spot to anyone visiting Geneva. Very impressed. read more

Excellent restaurant! Love everything about this restaurant. From the food, service, decor and location its all top notch. The only one dish that keep it from a five star in my book was the steak which was a bit tough for my liking. Not really sure if that's how premium steaks are served in this part of the world but I'm used to tender, juicy steaks. The seasoning on the steak is superb which brings the question whether the toughness of the steak was intentional or not. Like I said everything else is perfect. read more

Casual and friendly restaurant that is equally wonderful for a large party of 12 and small intimate meet ups. The servers are generous with their suggestions and efficient with the service. Portions are generous, our order of the mussels pot for two was large enough to feed four. The seafood platter is fresh and delicious. Our wine glasses were always refilled as well as our water. Wonderful ambience. A fabulous place to wind down after a long day of meetings. read more

Quality French dining. Good local dishes. Nice atmosphere with outdoor seating. Certainly worth a visit, as it's touted as being a local favorite. A little pricey, but decent service and quality food which is well-prepared. Busy lunchtime place. read more

I definitely enjoyed my meal here, although I didn't love the atmosphere. i was seated in one of the outer rooms, which was pretty drafty, and had some sort of high tech cigarette machine next to my table which didn't really add to the ambiance. if I'm paying that much for a meal, I'd rather not be sitting next to a vending machine! in any case, the soupe de poissons was fabulous. I also had a choucroute which was maybe not the best choice after enjoying every last drop of the soup... But it was nicely prepared. The waiter was also really nice, attentive and gave me a great wine recommendation. read more

Amazing food at a great price Won't find a better value for the money In the beginning it might look expensive but the portions are huge and the quality is astonishing. We ordered 4 dishes off the gourmet choices of the day menu which is available only in French All four have been outstanding I'll get on a flight to visit this place again read more

OOOoooh lala... the food here was exceptional. The prices were scary. Brasserie Lipp is a high end dining restaurant, just plan on spending A LOT. Take your "no foreign fee" credit card with you. The quality of the food at Lipp is outstanding. Reservations are recommended, take a chance if you're in the area like I did, they got me right in for lunch. Note: When the waiter brought the check, immediately he asked for a nice tip. For a classy joint I was a little put out by that. His overall demeanor as a waiter was not good and the service he should have provided should have been better, he wanted to make sure foreigners leave a good tip. read more

Although it was sold as a French brasserie on Yelp, they were a Swiss food purveyor. Oysters were outstanding and highly recommended. The food was good, I had rock fish soup (waiter told me to order smaller portion thank god).Hubby had pork cheek sausage thing, was wonderful. Missing a star for ambiance. It's in a mall. What can I say? read more

Relative to other Geneva restaurants this is a pretty good spot. During the holidays, they have a gorgeous Christmas decorations in one of their dining rooms which you can request to be seated in if you call 3-4 days in advance. Overall the restaurant, which is HUGE, was a perfect spot for a dinner with friends. They are open late, serving until 2am, and feature a menu so lengthy that anyone can find something. The mussels looked delicious, the oysters were phenomenal and the duck was exactly as you'd hope from a Parisian bistro restaurant. The only reason I'm giving this a 4 and not a 5 is the harsh bright lights, slower service, and the fact that the fries were extra with the steak and the mussels. read more

It's not cheap but it's not the most expensive in Geneva either. For the quality of the service, food and the beautiful setting, this is definitely worth it. I love it for the seafood and the mussels. Please be aware if you want fries with your mussels you gotta pay separately and you must order it, unlike other restaurants where fries are always a side dish for mussels. I like going there when I feel like needing comfort food in a comfortable place. Their terrace both in summer and also in winter (they have heaters) is lovely and cozy, I usually prefer staying on the terrace as it's less busy than inside and tables aren't so close to each other. read more

This is my must visit restaurant when I travel to Geneva. The atmosphere is very casual and the staff are very friendly although their English is limited (not unusual in Geneva)- that does not detract from the experience. The mussels are to die for and are always fresh and beautifully prepared and presented. Make sure to book to avoid disappointment. read more

Admittedly, I"ve only been there once and the food was very pricey, thus the low rating. They have excellent seafood though, and the location is very popular as it's in downtown, and you can sit inside and outside. Many of my friends really like it, so for good seafood you should definitely try it. I had a seafood chowder and salmon tartar, both very good taste- and quality-wise. I found the portions too small and the price too high to give it an excellent rating. There is a movie theater close by so one can combine dinner and movies in a very practical and fun way. read more

Had a great family lunch here this week. All 3 generations were very satisfied. We had choucroute, duck, a burger and salmon tartare and all were delicious. Our waitress was wonderful even though it was quite late in the lunch hour we were well looked after. Definitely recommend to book the terrace in summer. read more

The only reason I don't give this place a 5 is the service was a little off, otherwise the food was spectacular. I had the pot of mussels (though I ordered the small pot they brought out the large) and it was spectacular. Mussels are served in a cream broth that was delicious and the fries were perfectly crisp. Both are put over burners to keep them from cooling down though the one under my mussels threatened to burn the place down. The waitress never came back by so I could order more wine and as I was a party of 1 (traveling alone for a conference) she seemed generally uninterested in me). She did make sure at the end to ask for a tip though and made a face when she saw what I gave her! (And tipping on top of the bill isn't even standard here!) given another waitress though, I'm sure this place would have been a 5. read more

The food was terrific and the staff was very accommodating considering our party consisted of approximately 20 people and we arrived in waves. It's funny that a previous reviewer didn't like the large, bald waiter since he was my favorite. He offered to take a group picture for us and cracked jokes the entire time. If I'm ever in Geneva again, I'd definitely go back. read more

A superb restaurant with a good menu and atmosphere. The only downside is you really do have to book beforehand because its one of the few places that is open on Sundays and is popular with locals and tourists and close to the shops so is a good post shopping choice. Don't expect the service to be quick either-its always busy and its pricey. But the food quality is first class. read more

Ate here twice while in Geneva. Everything was positively world class. The seafood dishes are the specialty, while the desserts are delightful. Gets pretty crowded because it's so popular, but you should definitely eat here if you get the chance. Also a great place to take your spouse or date. read more

I read the reviews for this place and have to say that they were better than the place itself. I felt like it was just oo expensive in general. Geneva is expensive, but I felt ripped off here. I ordered a sampler degustation platter so I tried many things, but we paid way too much for mussels and a tiny plate of french fries, 12 CHF for a little US sized cup of soup, not to mention what we over paid for the fish. It was tasty but I guess I can eat much better for a lesser price in town so I wont go back here for sure. My waiter was very amusing and they gave us a crappy seat since we didnt have a reservation but the place was empty so I dont understand why we couldnt get a better seat....no one started to fill the place until we were on our way out. read more
