L'Hôtel-de-Ville

L'Hôtel-de-Ville Review

It's hard to get more Genevois than this: filets de perches, longeole sausage, game in season. Choose the five-course Genevois Goûtez Moi set-menu for a guided culinary tour; each course is paired with a glass of different local wine. This place does a brisk trade, clients include Genevese and tourists alike, and the location at the political heart of the Vieille Ville guarantees a loyal crowd of civil servants during the week. Service can be somewhat frank, but it's all part of the brasserie-style ambience. The dining room transfers to the sidewalk in summer, and the kitchen closes late for Geneva—at 11:30 pm.
