    Excellent experience. Interesting combinations beautifully presented. A special mention (from my sweet tooth🙂) for the souffléed crêpe suzette. Bravo to the whole Lion d'Or team!

    The ambiance and the service were great. However, we felt like the food could have been more savory for a restaurant of its rank.

    The staff demonstrated good knowledge of the food prepared when they introduced the dish as it was served. They were also very prompt in attending to me when requested.

    Restaurant is cute with lovely interior. Food was good and nicely represented. Main course was rather small. Service was attentive and helpful. Unfortunately the drinks and dishes came too fast. Price was ok but I guess I wouldn’t come back. Didn’t like that they played music into the restaurant.

    We booked the restaurant specifically because we didn’t want to take the forced menu as I’m pregnant. Only then to arrive and say that they supposedly called us to warn it will be a menu. There were several tables like us that we overheard that they were forcing people to take the menus and they called them. Nobody got the calls or warnings. Some of the plates were good but some we definitely wouldn’t choose and it’s just not the same tastiness as it was under different management.

    Fantastic experience that deserves all the praise. Had an amazing menu du jour lunch there. Excellent and friendly staff - not sure how two staff covered so many tables so well. Excellent food and generous portions. Will be back for dinner soon.

    All of the food was wonderfully light but extremely flavorful. The staff was attentive and helpful too. The spinach and mushroom gnocchi may have been some of the best I have ever had!

    An absolute cozy and historic bistro in the heart of carouge. We had a very warm welcoming and enjoyed every detail. We were lucky to try the delicious Christmas menu with a stunning presentation of every single dish. When you are from Geneva or just here for a a weekend you definitely need to have them on your list! (it was so worth it coming all the way from Lausanne) Always pretty booked so make sure to plan in advance. We are looking forward to our next visit.
