La Micheline — Restaurant in Geneva

The food was good. Not outstanding, but still enjoyable, just don't expect to be wowed. It's quite a large restaurant and it was full, so there were long delays between course and after three hours we asked for the bill. Again, probably because of it's size, it was quite loud, so not somewhere you'd go for a romantic special occasion, more appropriate for a group of friends. The service was also not polished at all, crumbs on the table not cleaned up until the end of the meal, rushed pouring of the wine so it plugged everywhere, a dished was served out of sequence so was placed on the table and then quickly removed when they realised a mistake had been made, we saw (someone who I presume was the sommelier) sit-down next to the guests on the long bench to chat. Don't know it the tables he was sitting at were friends of his or if he was just overly friendly, but it did look very weird. Of the 3 or 4 waiting staff who we interacted with only one appeared to notice that things were going incredibly slowly and he apologised at the end of the meal.

TLDR. Just OK. Decent but not great food. Service...

My wife and I visiting Geneva for the first time decided to dine here to celebrate our 50 wedding anniversary. We have dined in many Michelin star restaurants throughout Europe and have found this restaurant to display exceptional traits. A strong, reasonably priced wine list , excellently prepared food in terms of both taste and presentation. Large portions!!!! However from our perspective what makes this special is the service. An extremely young, but totally engaging service staff. Friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Able to explain food offerings and preparation. Our wine Stewart Stephan, simply blew us away with his knowledge and in-depth descriptions. We simply felt comfortable and welcomed, something you do not always experience in high level restaurants. Yes truly a 5 star memorable experience.

Short distance from old town in quiet residential area. Walkable from the lake or very short taxi ride. Everyone we spoke to spoke...

It’s a good restaurant and even very good for Geneva , because the local restaurant scene is really not competitive. However, be it in London, Paris or somewhere in Spain - it would not be that special. I have hesitated between 3 and 4 stars. I have visited other Michelin starred restaurants * which surprised me more. My starter Noix de St Jacques was really nice, but the paella style main course was a little too fishy and bitter to my taste. My husband took the magret of canard and he said that cuisson is not as perfect as you can achieve with sous-vide. All in all it’s not bad and I would like to go back and taste other dishes and maybe give it another try. Having lived in London and Paris I am perhaps a little too spoilt, but I have very high expectations when going...
