8/10Good restaurant; nice terrace; high quality table; very courteous service. We found the choice very, very limited. I had the trout and eggplant starters. The trout in zucchini was excellent. My wife had the lobster which turned out to he hard and chewy. and difficult to eat. We did inform the server.

10/10We had a wonderful meal! The staff accommodated us by speaking English and by meeting dietary restrictions. The ambiance was delightful; it’s a small, cozy space (but also quite warm without air conditioning). We had the five course tasting meal and the food and wine were incredible, light and refreshing. Highly recommend.

10/10A close friend, also from New York, and I were looking for a chic, good place in Carouge. I came across some great reviews of Le Flacon and it did not disapppoint. The seafood main dishes were spectacular and we loved the amuses bouches beforehand and the cute dessertlets afterward.

9.5/10We took a 5-course dinner and it was simply amazing. An amuse-bouche was a great surprise offered by the restaurant. It was followed by excellent raw tuna, unbelievable poched egg with caviar, delicious dorade, and savoury bœuf, accompanied with tasteful puree. Extra ordered cheese selection before the citron based dessert of ice-cream, white egg cream and popcorn, was also a great choice. The dinner was concluded by pralines, offered by the restaurant. Wine selection is just fantastic as well as the high-professional staff. The only minor thing that could have been better was inside temperature, bacause 1-2 deg C lower temperature would have been just perfect. In conclusion, we had an unforgettable dinner that we would not mind doing again.

10/10The food was great! In the set I had, they tend to use a lot of seafood and lemon. I was traveling there alone so I ate alone, and they prepared the seat that could look into the kitchen (which is great, I love watching how those excellent dishes were made). And since I had to catch a train, I asked whether they could prepare my desserts faster, and they made it right away. Excellent experience!

7/10Tried the tasting menu. Fancy looking dishes but for most of them dissapointing at taste. The staff continuous insistance on ordering wine and upselling is rude to say the least.

9/10This was the second time dining at the LeFlacon. Both times we had an extraordinary experience. Both the entre and the main course were excellent. We enjoyed as well the three desert offerings. Looking forward visiting the Le Flacon on our next visit to Geneva .

4/10We chose the restaurant due to the recommendations and because of it star rating. I appreciate that peoples tastes are different but this was not for us and we didn’t feel like there was a value in eating here. I have eaten in many stared restaurants around the world and as you expect the food and experience is amazing. You can taste the flavours and appreciate the technical skill gone into creating each dish. Le flacon we had the 7 course taster menu. 3 starters, 2 mains and 2 deserts. Each dish visually looked good. Unfortunately though it was just that a good looking plate of food with no real working flavours. It was a shame and I hope we were just unlucky with our evening. The venue is lovely and the staff work hard

9/10The main dish was excellent. I can overlook the huge mark-up on wine by the glass ( making it about 800% of cost). However, charging 11 Fr for a bottle of water that cost 1.50, is beyond fair or acceptable, The restaurant lost me.

8.5/10One of the best cuisines in Geneva, the food and the service are amazing. We had the 5 plates menu and it was more that delicious from the amuse bouche to the desert a 5 start menu, nevertheless this time we have a table btw the bar and the toilets, it was really noisy as I mentioned before the table was next to the waiters workplace, the waiters and customers pass by all the time and on the top is was cold as there was a kind of door just next to it. This table shouldn’t even exist in this kind of restaurant.

10/10A bit of a trek from the centre of Geneva, but this meant that most of the guests were locals and not tourists. Well worth its Michelin Star, the food was excellent - well presented, very tasty. Reasonable wine list. Prices reasonable, considering quality of the dining and the fact that it's in Geneva. Friendly, but professional service. I would recommend
