This spot is perfect to get beers (and tapas) whilst taking in the views of the Geneva architecture, Lake Geneva channel and mingling with the French (Swiss) locals. The service is very European (if you drink at lots of European bars, like I do, you'll comprehend this). Will I be back here, doin my thang? Oui. Hell oui. Be like Louis R, travel to Switzerland.

Monday night in Lyon...what are you to do with so many restaurants closed on Sunday and Monday? Go…read moreto one of Thomas' restaurants of course. Rue de Laurencin houses a cluster of the Thomas restaurants which are one next to the other or across the street and when you choose to go to one you can sometimes choose items from them all. Our waitperson was so sweet and helpful- she would literally run to the other kitchens to request items for us. Delicious champagne from "Thomas" across the street paired perfectly with our three starters from the cold menu: octopus salad, marinated shrimp (crevettes) and the anchovies. All three were wonderful Our fabulous pluma patra negra (a grilled steak that tasted as if slightly dredged in flour) and our grilled octopus also came from Thomas which is the most upscale of the restaurants. They were both outstanding. The star was a plate of delectable razor clams (couteaux gratiné) which were grilled and served in their shells with delicious herbs and oil. They were phenomenal and we could have eaten four plates of them. We greedily mopped up the leftover sauce from the shells with bread. We finished the meal with a pain perdu that tasted slightly of apples and was wonderful- hot and a slight chew in places. We fought for the last bites. All in all a magical meal in Lyon- I'll yearn for a return soon.

They have a brasserie area (more affordable tapas) and a bistronomy (gastronomy) area. We ate in the bistronomy area (note you can't order from the tapas menu if you sit here) and I had the Chasse dish and apple dessert. The menu is simple but the dishes are cooked perfectly and beautifully presented. The ladies who work here are friendly and sweet. It's a very contemporary space in an otherwise slow-paced area of Geneva. Fridays and Saturdays they've got a DJ spinning tunes.

Cottage Cafe serves light bites, wine, and a variety of coffees. Upon arrival, grab a clean table and wait for your server. NOTE: service may be a wait, as this is the European lifestyle. Ingredients are fresh, and the items that are served are refreshing. It's easy to get lost in choosing several items, as you can't go wrong with anything you pick.

There were tale of overly bold birds stealing food, but we actually had more issues with hovering yellow jackets and mosquitoes. We did feel the urge to rush our meal due to these circumstances. We were provided with a partial English menu with the Shareable Plates translated for our benefit. We each selected a plate to enjoy to ourselves and a single plate to share. Not too many shareables sounded very filling, but the Salmon Tartare on a brioche was a choice option to provide the necessary sustenance. We shared the chicken wings which were on the smaller side. While I'm more accustomed to American steroid-descended chickies, these were still tasty, the lemon marinade quite prominent. We ventured in for dinner though the spot seems more popular for breakfast and lunch.

Ouvert à l'automne 2000, le Zoo -prononcez Zou- est avant tout un resto qui propose de la cuisine nouvelle dans un cadre un peu design mais très "art contemporain".
