Restaurant Les 5 Portes — Restaurant in Geneva

It has much more of a bar vibe than restaurant, and therefore one would expect good drinks along with food. We had booked a table for dinner, and they did comply with our request for a window table, but the restaurant was basically empty when we came so it felt natural.

Service is friendly enough, though it seems they only were two people servicing the entire area (which did eventually become busy), but they were still attentive to us which was great (though they were visibly and understandably in a hurry). The food was alright, tapas was great, the risotto had a picture with much more seafood and shrimps, but came with none of that (it was a shrimp risotto with no shrimp??). We did order one drink (whiskey sour) which unfortunately was too disappointing so we only tasted it and couldn’t even finish it. There was basically no sourness and no sugar in it at all, it would be completely believable if they later said that they accidentally swapped their syrup/sugar with regular water. It was an expensive 16 CHF for two disappointing sips… anyhow, the vibe seems nice enough but our experience was sadly not the greatest. might be better...

Kind of a local hidden gem💎 ! I kept coming back for the foie gras risotto and some pints of good beer 🍺 . The place hinted a bar experience, but it is much more than that.

The ambiance is laid-back, but the food is a 🌟. On multiple visits, we tried :

foie gras teriyaki sauce and mushroom risotto, lamb shank steam whole fish grilled seafood platter

The service was friendly and we enjoyed the time here. Dinner hours were way busier than lunch hours. Only minor delays in evening services cuz they don’t have a lot of staffs but was acceptable!

If you’re looking for a place that blends a casual bar atmosphere with surprisingly good Asian fusion cuisine, this spot is definitely...

This is a great spot for a good meal without a ton of fuss. It's across from the Novotel, where I stayed for work, but I didn't actually go until I was staying farther away and I wish I had gone at least once more when it was convenient. The staff are busy, but attentive and the menu is small, but has everything you'd need without a crushing amount of options - a nice bistro with a good selection of meals, wines, and cocktails. The steak was cooked just right and the ratatouille was a great compliment as well as the roasted potatoes and light salad. Really solid and fun place to...
