    I ate at this restaurant as my first meal in Geneva, right after I landed at the airport. Couldn't be happier about the meal and service I had! The place seems small at the front but has a large seating area all the way through the back. A host received us and put our coats on the hangers, and the waiter spoke both French and English well. The waiter also recommended us some wonderful desserts!

    The atmosphere is lovely but we were given an awkward small high table stuck to a wall that was a bar table and not suitable for dinner. Cote de boeuf was delicious but we paid 160 francs for 2 people for a steak with no sides. They overcooked our moelleux so it was burnt on top and not liquid in the center. Would not return there are better value restaurants in Geneva

    Absolutely loved this place. I chose it because I walked past after an event a couple of weeks ago, and the design was up my street. Having looked at the menu online, I saw a couple of dishes (creative, veggie) that seemed tempting so I went with a few friends for dinner. The food was delicious. The drinks were great (I had a mezcal mule) and service was attentive without being in your face. Music was also good. How this place wasn’t packed I am not sure. Will return for sure.

    I like this place very much! The only thing - they could give us a better table and not the one at the entrance (especially when we arrived the first and there was one table for 4 free all evening we were there).

    Dissapointed in the food compared to previous visits. The tuna was refrigerator cold and I could not taste the curry. The pavlova dessert was a plate of liquid cream with some blueberries and meringue crumbles resting on top. Felt like since it’s school holidays and thus a quiet week no effort or attention was made on the food. Unfortunately not one of my top restaurants in Geneva anymore based on this meal. Service still great and they are endless smiles from start to finish.

    at 12:30, there were only one type of day's special left and I must say that I was starving at the end of the lunch. We had to wait for a long time before the order was taken. I am disappointed of today's performance.

    We started with cocktails which were fairly good. Not impressed by the “Magret de canard” which was presented as tiny slides while usually is thicker and pink in the middle. The fish had no taste. The black burger was ok. The place as a lot of potential but I think can be better.

    The Fork and the restaurant are cheating by promising a discount. After showing the confirmation from the Fork with the discount the representative of the restaurant blamed Fork for misleading the clients. Furthermore, after having two course meal and before even finishing our deserts we were told to move to the bar as they needed our table. Very unpleasant experience. As for the food - definitely Geneva has better options than this overrated place.

    Great athmosphere, relaxed and cool in the same time! Has a terrace right next to the Rhone River in the sun, perfect for an evening to cool down.

    Bistro 33 has an elegant vibe, and nice meals. It is general restaurant fair in Geneva, though, maybe a bit more up scale. It's a nice place for romantic dinners or being with friends.

    A nice restaurant, especially if you sit outside by the water. The cocktails were absolutely amazing! However, the service was very slow. It looked like there was enough staff working but not sure why, we waited 20 minutes for our first order to be taken, 20 minutes to order dessert and 30 minutes to receive dessert. I hope it was just exceptional on that day that the service was painfully slow. Otherwise, worth a try if not for the cocktails alone.

    Very nice restaurant with great quiet terrasse on the rhone. Great atmosphere and nice design. The food was good but slightly over cooked (burger were asked medium raw and they got serve well cooked, Tuna was slightly too cooked also such as the egg as the starter). The waiting time was a bit long, while the restaurant was not full, yet the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Overall good experience, still need to improve on the service speed and reduce the cooking time! will recommend still
