  4. Café de Paris

    Green salad followed by entrecôte steak with fries and a herb and butter sauce of legendary standing. It's the only dish on the menu and one bite and you'll feel like you've become a member of a (not so) secret society. The harassed staff can be a bit abrupt at times, but the entrecôte is worth it. Reservations essential.

  5. Café des Bains

    Beautiful objects and an eye for design are trademarks of this fusion restaurant where Genevan beauties flock. The king prawns pan-fried with green pepper, sweet Thai basil and mango and served with a mint and apricot mousse certainly won our hearts. Veggie options are plentiful and excellent.
