    If you like octopus then you are luck - apart from that it’s a terrible place

    Delicious food. The portions could be a bit bigger given the price.

    Too many smokers at terrace. Payment by credit card was inside and it was not clear. So we waited a long time. Baby calamari had too much garlic! Bad breath all afternoon

    All the dishes we tried were very tasty and nicely presented. We, especially, liked the Octopus dishes, the fish and the last dessert ( variety of cakes, panna cota,…). Our waiter, Joris, was outstanding. Highly recommended!

    Great spot right around the corner from our hotel. The ambiance of the restaurant was wonderful, and our waitress was very attentive. The grilled octopus was a little over done and the lobster in the ravioli could have been more moist. The sea bass was delicious as was the risotto. I'd go back.

    Excellent food (fish and seafood), good portion sizes, and very welcoming and helpful staff. It is a bit out of the way but worth the ten-minute walk from the historical center. Perfect for a nice, quiet evening enjoying good seafood. Will go back!

    My son invited me to the restaurant Octopus for lunch on Mother’s Day. We had a nice round table with a banquette seat. We chose a Passion juice spritz cocktail which had an excellent flavor of passion fruit. Also the prices of the cocktails in general were reasonable by Geneva standards. For starters we had scallops with artichoke cream (Saint-Jacques snackées, lard de colonnata, trio d’artichaut) and fried baby squid with mayonnaise and black lemon (Calamaretti frits, mayonnaise citron noir). Both dishes were original, very well presented and tasty. As main courses we chose a Turbot with asparagus (Turbot, asperges, salicornes, sauce cacahuète-miso) and octopus wood-fired grilled (Poulpe grillé au feu de bois, brocolini, olives leccinol, tomates séchées, ail) both were good. The highlight was the desert of a Bavarian cream in the shape of a small green apple with a basil filling (Comme une pomme verte, crème bavaroise, cœur basilic) truly delicate and memorable.

    The octopus was very disappointing. I ordered the caviar as starter. The caviar itself was a great product but served with industrial blinis overcooked in the microwaved and stone hard. When sent back the chief kindly apologized and offered a glass of champagne what was a nice gesture but then served the same poor quality industrial blinis directly cold out of the package. As main I ordered the grilled octopus which is supposed to be their specialty. It was over cooked, hard and rubbery.I never had such a poorly prepared octopus. The polenta was good. Definitely not work the price or visit.

    The ceviche is delectable. The octopus perfectly grilled and presented in a delicious bed of hollandaise infused puréed vegetables. The service is ok. The waiter very quickly lost patience with us taking some time to choose a wine and walked away without a word as opposed to offering to help. Amateurish for sure. But otherwise efficient.
