First off, huge points for being one of the few places open in the afternoon when everyone else is…read moreclosed! We were so hungry but having the hardest time finding somewhere open. And the anime theme was really cute. There were references all over the restaurant and the music they played also fell into that theme. We ordered the: Creamy udon - when we ordered, I expected creamy to mean like thicker like actual cream. But it was actually more along the lines of soupy but a milk based broth. But it was still good! It was very onion forward and there was a good amount of meat. Kake udon - this dish is just so homey. It was basically seaweed soup with udon and some other toppings, really delicious. My only complaints are that it took a hefty amount of time for our food to come out, which was especially odd because we were the only ones in the restaurant at the time. And the dishes seemed pretty overpriced. But the server was really nice! He let us sit wherever we wanted so we ended up sitting at the traditional Japanese tables on the floor which was very fun!

So I had a craving and decided to walk thru the doors once again after many years. Friendly waitress seated me and my drink arrived mins later - just as expected. Ordered a vegetable salad and a pizza. Salad was great, super fresh vegetables Julienned with that great tart and tasty dressing. It really could have been a small meal by itself- didn't disappoint. Then the pizza came.... The jambon was lukewarm, the champignons cool to the touch and the crust wasn't crisp.... Actually soggy and doughy. Had a few bites and I was done. Asked for the check- she asked if I wanted to take the pie home and I declined- said it wasn't fully cooked. She grabbed the pizza and threw it into the garbage with disdain. Didn't offer a discount, rain check, so I paid my bill but frankly, how does that happen in a pizzeria? That's what you serve ... pizza pie. Sad but everything changes.

Note: It is 2 CHF per person to enter the Bain des Paquis and to access the eatery…read more This locals favorite "refreshment cafe/ bar" on the Bain des Paquis seems to be a constant recommendation and easily the best destination if you are in search of an affordable meal in franc-powered Geneva. Order your food at the cashier and seat yourself in one of the two covered outdoor sections with benches, or take it out onto the grass if you so desire. The affordable item is always their "Plat du Jour"/ dish of the day, 15 CHF (~18 USD). During our visit, it was a wonderfully refreshing "Ceviche de Cabillaud"/ cod ceviche marinated in lemon. They also serve Fondue here at 27 CHF per person (if requested), though we made the mistake of ordering a portion for 2 people which was not necessary after ordering 1 plat du jour each. This was brought out for to us at a bench we eventually secured. The expectation is for you to bus your plates near the kitchen window when you finish eating. The environment was quite lively on a Friday night, the younger generation out in full force in bathing suits, cooling off after a 90 Fahrenheit day, with some beats bumping from an on-site DJ. Authentic environment to intermingle with the locals and fumble your way through your non-existent French.

Geneva is super expensive. Finding a decent meal and a drink without spending a ton is pretty rare…read more We heard this place was a locals spot. You order your food and drinks at the counter. They have a surprisingly good menu with daily plates, sandwiches, desserts, and fondue. I watched a few plates come out of the kitchen and it all looked good. It's definitely a place where actual locals hang out. People just come out here to chill on the pier and look at the water. What we got: - Aperol Spritz (5/5): They offer these in two sizes. We got the large. We were just looking for an aperitivo and a good view. It hit the spot perfectly. Great vibes for relaxing in the sun.

This little cafe is absolutely amazing and definitely my favorite spot in the city. For 9.90, you can have one of four meal combos: two sandwiches, a dessert, and a drink; a soup, a sandwich, and a dessert or drink; a quiche, a dessert, and a drink; or a salad, a sandwich, and a dessert or drink. You can't go wrong with any of these, because everything I've had here has been delicious. My personal favorite items: the pistachio chocolate mousse, the carac, the spinach quiche, and the espresso. (Definitely the best espresso in the city, in my opinion.) Service is great, there's wifi, and the atmosphere is cozy. You can't go wrong.

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.

I actually couldn't believe I hadn't updated my review to 5 stars awhile ago. I have never had a wrong note with you. I just can't believe I didn't know about your set menu lunch deals! I always enjoyed the 19 CHF plat du jour of the day, but I didn't know you also had a lunch set menu for those with a larger appetite. For only 35CHF you provided me with a delicious appetiser, main dish, and dessert. My stomach was happily full for the remainder of the day. TIP: Other people also love Esquisse at lunch, so definitely be sure to make a reservation in advance. They have a little outdoor seating area on nice days that you can enjoy.
