Le Casanova — Restaurant in Geneva

If food could do a burnout, this place would leave rubber on your soul.

Right on the shore of Lake Geneva — flanked by a rotating cast of Renaults, Toyotas and the occasional Lamborghini doing its best impression of subtle wealth — Casanova serves up a session so good, I considered proposing to the sea bass.

Now, this wasn’t just any fish. This was the best sole I’ve ever had. Ever. Lovingly filleted like a Swiss watch movement, fresher than a Monaco morning breeze, and plated with the kind of care usually reserved for newborns or Ferraris with manual gearboxes.

And then, the desserts. Oh dear. They don’t just deserve a category of their own — they deserve diplomatic immunity. Think “Lecker hoch zwei”. You don’t eat them, you ascend.

Topped off with a service team so attentive they’d probably notice if you dropped your cholesterol mid-meal, Casanova isn’t just a restaurant. It’s a destination. It’s what happens when the Alps, Lake Geneva, and a French patisserie all get together and decide to open a pit stop for the...

Unfortunately I came to this restaurant expecting a pleasant experience but after what happened I decided to look at the reviews and to my surprise almost every single one mentioned how the staff are ignoring them!

The negative reviews weren’t exaggerating they were...

The food was good, however the service was awful. After one of the waiters gave us a table, the one who took our order started yelling at us in a very bad way, because we ordered fondue and we shouldnt be sitten on that table for fondue. Then, he yelled that they shouldnt give us fondue but for today they will make an exception. We found this unbelievable but we stayed only to try the food. However, the food didnt make up for the unpleasent moment we passed. When we try to complain, his partner said that there wasnt a comments book. He justified the attitude by saying that we shouldnt feel discriminated (that we never did) because the guy was homosexual. This was never the case, and that they use this as the justification for their bad treatment...
