The Auberge Lion d'Or of Cologny, Geneva

User Rating: / 1
PoorBest 
04The Auberge du Lion d'Or is reputed to be one of the best restaurants in Geneva. The prices are stiff and more suited to expense accounts, but both the service and the food are impeccable.
 

Auberge d'Onex: Good, expensive and (somewhat) over-rated.

phpThumbThe Auberge d'Onex on the western outskirts of Geneva is a wonderful restaurant for traditional cuisine from the Italian Piedmont. Well-worth trying but definitely overpriced.

Pere Bise: Disappointment for what once was...

Lake Annecy, France

pere_bise.jpgThe Pere Bise restaurant on Lake Annecy is not what it used to be. Overpriced, the food lacks excitement and verve.

   

The Shamwari at Jivahill: Worth trying but far from generous

orbitz-230596-hugvajh_b3-image.jpgCROZET, Pays de Gex, France - - This stylish hotel and restaurant complex with the touch of a southern African luxury game and sports lodge is a relatively new addition to the Lake Geneva Region. Situated in a 35-hectare park just outside the small French town of St Genis in the Pays de Gex at the foot of the Jura mountains, it offers a spectacular view of Geneva and the Alps, barely ten minutes drive from the airport. During the summer, the outside terrace of the Shamwari Restaurant with its comfortable Bauhaus wicker armchairs and white parasols makes an ideal waterhole for sundowners. Jivahill’s particular attraction is that it doubles as a spa country club with an elaborate wellness centre, horse riding, golf practise area, water skiing and jogging track. Rare among Swiss and French restaurants, there is also a play area for kids. Overall, this is not a bad place for business meetings or seminars within sight of Geneva – and in a healthy, open-air environment.
