Café du Marché — Restaurant in Carouge

Underwhelming french style bistro. The menu choices are rather small (which is good in this case as it's freshly made) and interesting.

Now we come to the price: it’s Geneva, that tells the whole story :)

As far as the service is concerned, I’ve had mixed experiences, let’s say 30% rude/cold, 70% good/friendly.

Oh, a reservation is not always necessary but highly...

I used to go there as a teen when it was a dive bar. Cafe du Marche is now very posh and the terrasse are so nice. We ate in the courtyard and it was lovely. I did not like the menu, though. Entrees were all meat proteins with barely cooked rice and a cauliflower puree covered with 2-3 sticks of veggies. Same accompagnement for all the dishes which is not very fancy given that our group ordered 2 types of fish and 2 types of meat. It was all missing flavor, kick and novelty. Wine and...
