We went there for a group dinner and were not allowed to choose our meals. It was a fixed menu for everyone which was a bit disappointing but ok.
However, we were first asked to order drinks and I got the wrong order. When i tried to nicely ask to the waiter if it was possible to change as it wasn’t what I ordered, I was told “it is what it is”.
We then received 3 bottles of wine we did not order. When we pointed this out, we were told it was part of the menu. It ended up being untrue as we had to pay extra for the bottles of wine.
All in all the food (fondue) was okay.
I was however quite taken aback by the service and do not plan on going back to this establishment again.

Traditional food based around fondue. The smell at the front door is quite off putting (cheesy feet!) but not so bad once inside and seated. Prompt service to take order and bring beer, fondue about ten minutes later arrived to table. It tasted OK but was nothing special and for the price not great value (although everything in Genève is expensive so…). Was very busy and seemed popular with tourists and locals from what I could tell. Not bad but wouldn’t necessarily rush back. 70CHF for two people including one beer each.
Shocking. I ordered the raclette (in picture) which costed 30chf (standard for a good dish in switzerland), came at least 10 minutes later than everyone else’s food and each piece of cheese in intervals of 10 minutes as well. And they were COLD. After my second piece (out of 5), everybody had finish eating already. I understand it was a busy night but the service was bad, the food was just ok and I’ve lived in switzerland for 10 years, I’ve never seen the audacity to call this dish raclette before.
30 CHF, fondue tomate: So many potato that I couldn't finish. Sharing with friend is suggested. The potato is warm, fresh and served in a cloth bag to keep it warm. The fondue is served with a fire under the pot. The melted cheese is not really surprising. I can barely get a hint of tomato. The cheese is not 100% melted so you have to stir it from time to time to get a good mix of it. There 2 kinds of baguette: ordinary one and one with different grains. 3 stars saying it's not good nor bad. Food is ok and service is good as expected.
Service continues!!! Rare in Geneva. Good selection of food. The best fondue a la tomate!
Really reasonably priced for Geneva, open late, good food and always very hospitable! It's a post concert tradition for musicians and audience alike and they managed to squeeze in half our orchestra on a recent tour!
Extensive range of swiss dishes including raclette and fondue. Food is tasty enough, and the man who served me was helpful, but less one star because food took too long to be served (I guess cooks are understaffed on a busy Friday night) and there was some tiny bones in my filet de perche.
A nice and little bigger place then most of the fondue places in town. Good mix of a menu with fondue and other options including steaks and salads etc. service is little slow but food is good. I like the restaurant ambiance. Fondue was very good with raclet. No need for advance reservation as place is big and can accommodate lot of people. Enjoy
