They called it "the chef's specialty" yet it was simple white rice and beans for 50chf. When we asked why (because the dish and price were nowhere on the menu), they argued the rice was 10chf which is outrageous, but then took the bill and with no explanations brought it down to 40? Was pretty sketchy. I saw someone else review the same type of problem on google, I guess this was a normal occurrence for them. Definitely ruined the evening for us. Other than that some of the food was okay but nothing special. I don't recommend this place at all.

Why is this place so expensive?? It's an OK restaurant in an arguably undesirable part of town…read more Yet we find ourselves here when we want to have lunch "under the sun," as if Saveurs du Liban has some sort of proprietary rights to the sun that we can't get elsewhere. The plat du jour is about CHF19, which usually gets you a generic salad and a passable main dish. The plat du jour on our first visit was two approximately 2 inch ground beef medallions in passable tomato-based sauce and rice, and on our second visit four small meatballs in some sort of passable almond-based sauce and rice. If you haven't noticed, there's a common theme here. Everything is simply "passable," and just slightly too expensive to feel like I've gotten my money's worth. The mezze platter which is usually CHF38 is CHF22 during lunch, which is, again, a "passable" bargain for a "passable" platter. Rather than thinking CHF22 is a great discount, though, I couldn't help wondering why on earth I would normally pay CHF38 for what looked like a plate of food, comprised mostly of dips (such has hummus on yogurt) from a "passable" middle eastern buffet. Oh, and you can smoke hookah in the outside terrace for CHF35. CHF35 for hookah at a mediocre restaurant, in my opinion, is NOT passable.

Oh wow that sucked! I came in because there were so many Arabic customers outside and I assumed…read morethey must know the food is good. I didn't have reception to check the reviews so I saw the rating only after I had ordered. My salad and main course were served at the same time. Only fast food places do that, I assume, since I don't eat fast food. My pita breads were leathery and cold served in a nylon bag. What's the point of the nylon? I asked for warm ones and they brought me another cold leathery batch in another nylon. The hugely overpriced salad was soaked in oil. My "Lebanese sampler" dish was all cold (despite supposedly having some warm bits) and was half hummus type stuff. I had asked if there were greens (or I wouldn't have ordered the salad) and they said no, but yeah there were. I barely ate half I said I wanted a piece of meat and was considering ordering one and they just cut me off that they serve them in 4. Horrible. Couldn't have offered me one. Don't go to this place. Absolute rip off of fast food (as I imagine fast food)

I have previously said that Aya Sofia kebabs have the best in geneva, after coming to this place, I have certainly changed my mind! The food is truly fantastic, very authentic Lebanese (reminding me of the Lekemba area of Sydney) and just simply delicious... This place seems was super full when we went, people shouting in Arabic across the room and all of the tables full, also the man who served us was awesome! My friend only had 5 francs (not enough for a kebab) but the guy let him get it anyway... He also game my other friend some complimentary fries... Certainly the best Lebanese in geneva without a question read more

I recently visited Parfums de Beyrouth, and we had a great experience overall. The service was friendly and efficient, and the ambiance had a nice, welcoming vibe that made the meal even more enjoyable. I ordered the Chicken Sandwich, which was served with a salad, hummus, and French fries. The sandwich was flavorful and satisfying, and the sides complemented the dish well. It's a great option if you're looking for something delicious! I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. read more

Delicious kebabs and very reasonably priced for Geneva. Their schwarma wrap is the best. Even when they're busy you're served almost straightaway. The guys there are also really friendly. One time, I forgot I didn't have cash on me and I was about to go in search of an ATM but the server insisted I just pay him next time. Also they stay open till 1 am which in Geneva is a rarity. read more
