So glad we booked this restaurant for dinner, it was a great experience from start to finish. Friendly and attentive staff, every dish was well cooked and beautifully presented. All dishes were delicious, but the best was the yuzu parsley and shrimp. Will definitely be back. We had the signature menu which had some really good dishes that definitely challenged our taste buds. Service was great and the waiter was very knowledgeable about each dish. It was great that Tim took the time to talk to us about the food. The setting of this Michelin rated restaurant is very pleasant. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for!
After cooking noodles for 4 days in the hotel, I finally had time to have a good meal [looking forward to] I went to the most famous cheese hot pot "Restaurant Les Armures"
·🥘 Actually, I don't like sour cheese, so I think the hot pot is just average, the focus is on participation... After all, it is a specialty
·🐌 The snails are neither good nor bad, I'm not used to the taste of the soup
·🥩 I have to praise the fairy lamb chops! Very juicy and delicious
·🥔 The potato cakes are soft and fluffy~
·🍨 The ice cream is super delicious, the coffee balls and chocolate balls are very mellow
About 50CHF per person...
Well, I finally spent money other than transportation [sad]

We went for a celebration meal and it was perfect.The service is excellent. Attentive friendly staff. The food was absolutely delicious and the prices really good (for Geneva) for the quality of the food and the service. I can thoroughly recommend it and will definitely be going back. ❤️
Staff were accommodating and helpful. Service was excellent and dessert recommendations were spot on. A wonderful evening in Geneva old town. Fondue and other selections were delicious.

In general, the dishes are pretty satisfactory, but I feel like there are no memorable dishes here, and the whole decoration environment is also average. Maybe it’s not the style I like. Anyway, I feel that the price-performance ratio here is not high.
This place is romantic and literary. It is really suitable for feeling the atmosphere and relaxing on holidays.

There are many historic buildings hidden in the streets and alleys of Geneva's old town, as well as various impressive specialty restaurants. The guy in the watch shop recommended a restaurant at the end of the alley, so I went to explore the restaurant with my friends.
The restaurant is called Restaurant de l'Hotel-de-Ville. It is hidden in the streets and alleys of Geneva's old town. It shuttles along the ancient stone road and is surrounded by historic buildings, giving people a sense of movie scenes that travel through time and space. .
The interior decoration of the restaurant may combine classical and modern elements to create a comfortable and stylish dining environment. The customers are mainly locals, which is usually a good sign of the quality and service level of the restaurant, because local residents tend to have a more picky taste for food.
This is a French restaurant with very traditional restaurant etiquette. The waiters are dressed in uniform, just like gentlemen. Baked snails are a must-order dish, which is also a classic dish in French restaurants. Sure enough, the old restaurants on the street are more flavorful, and the dishes here are impressive enough. Of course, I like the atmosphere here more than the dishes here, which is old, as if immersed in an old movie. #RomanticDatingRestaurant #MonthlySpecialPlan
An excellent dinner with a great old town ambiance - both inside as well as their terrace.
The staff all speak English and are helpful and they have translated menu's as well. It's a good idea to make a reservation in advance for their peak hours.
Highly recommend the cheese fondue and veal with rosti.

Great find despite the rainy day. Big serving of grilled meats. The service was great, friendly service and the food was excellent. Not expecting to find my favorite food in Geneve but glad we did.
Very good and generous portions of bbq food. Brazilian atmosphere, nice staff. The terrace is also large and comfortable, half of which is covered by a roof.

Everything was wonderful, the portions were very generous and everything about the meal screamed « comfort food ». The fries, being the main event, were nothing short of perfection for us.
If you’re looking for a tasty, quick and easy meal that’ll leave you feeling full and satisfied, Belga is the place to go.

First time in Geneva, found this traditional Swiss little restaurant in the old town. The fondue we ordered was very good, paired with the white wine recommended by the waiter, very good.

One of the restaurants that you must visit every time you come to Geneva. The atmosphere of the restaurant is beautiful, especially after the renovation. I would recommend my favorite meal, which was the big cheese. It was a very delicious meal. The service was great and very fast. The staff was very friendly.
