We couldn't leave Geneva and Switzerland without some fondue so on our last night before flying out we stopped in for an early dinner. I think we chose wisely with Les Armures.

I had been once before many years earlier and knew we wouldn't be disappointed. And true to form, the service was spot on and so were the two fondues we ordered. One with a tomato base and the other with mushrooms.

With nice weather we sat outdoors but the interior is very nice and certainly a more romantic and charming setting.

Bonus points for being open at an early enough hour to allow time to pack and hit the sack early for a morning departure.

Absolutely delicious! Tried our first ever fondue here. I was conscious that the cheese would be too strong for my Asian parents' tastebuds, which is why we opt for the tomato fondue instead of the traditional one. It was incredible! The tomato gave it a slight sweetness, and the cheese didn't smell or taste strong at all. We also had the onion soup, bresaola, and perch, which was delicious too.

Usually fondue is not my style, but as a tourists we wanted to have some meat fondue.

Meat was good quality, what is more important is an idea of serving, because here you can find a sliced meat, which is very clever, you no need to wait a long time to cook it, usually restaurants are giving meat pieces, that's takes time to cook.
Salad on a side was very nice and tasty, also veggies and fries.

For our order we didn't wait for a long time, service is quite fast, which is good!

Service staff is very kind, polite, speaking English, which is amazing!!!

Place is always full, I think is better to make a reservation.

Atmosphere is not too cozy, because it is on the street, between buildings, so there is no sun, which is bit upset, and bit cold, but they have blankets, quite romantic atmosphere.

Great place to try classic swiss cheese fountain. It was amazing and one is enough to share with someone (200 g) they bring you potatoes and enough bread to feed a family. We recommend to have a reservation as its always full

Nice cozy restaurant with many celebrities visited. Please book the table in advance otherwise, you probably will not get the table. The food was amazing. I recommend the cold cut and mozzarella to start with. The cheese fondue and meat fondue were great. Portion was big.

What a great meal we had tonight. The atmosphere of this place is so unique and authentic, like stepping into the history.

The food was outstanding. With the special applause for cheese fondue, onion soup and lamb.

We wanted to sit outside, but there were no tables available and it’s all for the best, as the inside is much more atmospheric.

Our waiter was really nice, friendly and knowledgeable

The best fondue we had in Geneva. We tried the traditional cheese and tomato cheese. Both were very good. The tomato really calmed down the sharpness of the cheese and was quite nice. The potatoes were delicious in the traditional cheese. A large portion of gluten free bread provided. A higher end place with higher end prices, but worth it.

It was fantastic! We celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday and they were very kind. The lady gave us some tips about Switzerland places, the food was fantastic and the price reasonable for the quality. The only thing I would change was the smoking zone as anyone can smoke in the tables and it’s not amazing during dinner. Other then that, really recommend this place!

Very atmospheric place in a heart of the city. Didn’t even know how famous this place is until seen lots of photos of celebrities and Bill Clinton sign at the entrance.

Service is just great and all the dishes are perfectly cooked.

Didn’t expect to see beef hot pot in the menu but it surprised me a lot.

Would definitely recommend a place as required to visit in Geneva.

This will be one of my favourite lunch places in Center of Geneva. Staff speaks excellent English and menu is outstanding. My favourite is fillet perch from lake Geneva which is rare lately. Original from lake is best and is not available at most places. Restaurant manager confirmed it is from lake Geneva, which was absolute treat. Service is outstanding and very nice outdoor seating for lunch and dinner both. Must try if you want to eat something in old town Geneva.

Very nice traditional Swiss restaurant with excellence service and atmosphere. We had a really great time here, with very traditional and relatively doughy fondue.

The Geneve locally grown Pork Chop is absolutely delectable, with succulent meat.

Surprisingly, the restaurant provides wide range of Swiss produced wine, which some of them are really in high quality.

Absolutely a great place for Swiss feast.

Sweet onion soup was tasty and not too salty. The single portion raclette was a perfect portion if it’s your first time trying it. Breaded veal was done well, crispy and juicy. Dessert trio was worth a try, the guyere cream with meringue was delicious. Great service all around. Make a reservation if you can because they are busy. Go early if you want to walk in.

We came here a couple of nights ago.

The place looks great. The waiter was very friendly and helpful.

The restaurant serves good portions and the escalope is a must to order. The decoration is very cozy and feels very welcoming.

Prices are high but that is what you expect in places like this.

The food was delicious.

I’m only giving it four stars because the person at the reception was not friendly, he even not paid attention to us when we entered and we were the only ones waiting and he was in the computer right in front of us.
