BOMBAR — Restaurant in Geneva

Extremely disappointing experience. I have been a fan of Bombar for a long time and always had great service, apparently only because I was accompanied by French speaking people. On Tuesday I had some friends visiting me and I decided to take them for dinner. First of all, we were given menu’s in French and when we asked if they any chance had menu’s in English since we don’t understand French, the waitress just said “no, sorry” and left without offering to help us in any way. Afterwards a man came to get our order. We tried to ask if he could help us understand the menu or maybe give some recommendations. He got irritated and honestly just did not care, that was very obvious. We felt pressured and rushed to just pick something which really left a nasty feeling. I felt like a burden. The food also wasn’t on the same level that it has been before. Something positive was that the service was very efficient and we didn’t have to wait for anything (food or drinks) for a long time. Please do better with...

Disappointed and Overrated -

I never leave negative reviews, but this experience left a lot to be desired. The food is overpriced for what’s served, small portions with very little flavour.. I understand this is a small plate restaurant however It all felt incredibly overrated, especially given the hype.

The vegetarian option was particularly poor, lacking substance and creativity. To make matters worse, we weren’t told that it was possible to substitute some of the meat options, which would have made a big difference. It felt like we were given the bare minimum.

Overall, the food lacked flavour, the value just wasn’t there, and the service didn’t help. Definitely not somewhere I’d return to...

We went with a local, and he literally ordered everything on the menu! Seasonal farm to table offerings with excellent vegetarian plates. Interesting flavors. My favorite was the cucumber and burrata; and our son enjoyed the apricot dessert. We paired dinner with a Natural white wine. Service was warm and friendly. European timing of food coming out slowly so that you can enjoy every dish and converse with company was delightful. Our friend is a regular here; and we’re so glad he chose this place for our first meal in Geneva. Cheers to...
