We ordered a bottle of red wine which was very nice and priced at 48 CHF. The entree portions were quite large and in fact two of us girls could have shared especially the meat entrees. I would recommend the chicken entree as it looked delicious! Overall it was 55 CHF for wine and entrees, more expensive than normal but also quite good.

We had the cheese/meats plate and a vegetables gratin at around 15 francs each. The plate was not exceptional but everything felt fresh and there was reasonable variety. The gratin was very good and filling and combined a nice array of vegetables including swede and kohlrabi. The yoghurt with fruit we ordered for the toddler was agreeable and included plenty fresh fruit. The drinks, cappuccino and vin chaud were decent portions too. The basket of bread was excellent with several different kinds and each one interesting. The menu is interesting and to the vegetarian in our family it was felt to be excellent in choices by comparison with many menus in Geneva and Switzerland. The price was very reasonable and we left feeling satiated and delighted to have stumbled upon one of the jewels of Carouge.

I would eat here again, but it is really only a place to go when there is nothing better.

The ambiance is fantastic. It is a small place, and most tables are perfect for groups of 2-3, not more. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They also have a brunch on Sunday's. They are open til around 11:30pm at night, and have a wine/beer selection. The menu is a small chalkboard with the daily fresh options of salads, toasted bread w/ toppings, and quiches. The desserts are home made, and looked amazing, but I didn't get the chance to try one. I also want to try the tea selection sometime. They have a real coffee machine, none of the nespresso stuff here. The most expensive options on the lunch menu were around 19 CHF.

Was it worth it. Ehh maybe. For this place yes. I had the eggs Benedict and it was on point. The salad was good, bacon was pretty average. I particularly like the bread on the bottom.

Le Maâ seems so out of place in this city but I'm so happy we found it! With coffee, tea, drinks and healthy lunch menu, this spot has a cool, trendy vibe with super nice staff and high quality items. On my visits, I've had lunch once there. I would suggest the Buddha bowl! A healthy and colorful mix. Lunch menu items are a little pricey ranging from €15-€20. Not the cheapest place but if you want quality food and drink, clean and cozy place to spend time, I'd go here! Also for people with babies, the bathroom has a changing table!!! Enjoy!

And a smile on the owners face. He immediately made a joke and said "this isn't Starbucks, we take our time, what would you like?" While waiting for our cappuccinos, we enjoyed a fresh apple & pear tarte. The produce used in the tarte and all the shop is sourced locally and made fresh. It was delicious... and so was the cappuccino!!! The coffee and tea equipment he has behind the counter is top notch! This place is definitely a true coffee shop. Not to mention, he does brunch on Sundays and lunch daily. Can't wait to come back next week to try lunch!!! :)

Their espresso is very smooth and balanced, and they whip up a cappuccino that is light, yet satisfying. The indoor space is a great place to relax or get some work done, but I absolutely love the courtyard outback. It is very relaxing to sit out there with a delicious cup of coffee and enjoy the weather. Do yourself a favour and visit while the weather is still pleasant. On the other hand, COVID permitting, I can see myself enjoying a warm cup indoors during winter. In any case, Boreal make a great cup of coffee with friendly service.

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!
