We were greeted by the owner and his wife upon arrival. The ambiance is perfectly done for a relaxing experience and was on point with the seafood theme of the restaurant. The staff was attentive and the food was absolutely outstanding!!!!

We really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant, it felt like a very casual lunch somewhere in the countryside, but with unique and great quality food. One of the most excellent lunches I had in a very long time and a reasonable price for what was offered. We will definitely go back. Thanks a lot

We had the fish lunch which is a good choice on Friday. The fish was cooked to perfection as was everything else. We would rated the meal higher but we like a bit more taste in the sauces and things. For instance there was piment in the entree grown nearby in Thonex I believe, however neither of us could find the taste. It doesn't have to be strong but still not too subtle.

Very quaint, cozy, place. Family run. We did the 10 course chef menu and it was very good. For 1 star michelin, they did a really nice job. Highly recommend.

It is many years since I first ate in this restaurant. I was more than delighted to find that the quality of the kitchen has remained exactly as high as I remembered it: by a distance the best place I know of in Geneva to enjoy a lunch or dinner based on ingredients from the sea, carefully prepared and well served. A treat.
