This 80+ year old cafe,conveniently located across the Cornavin Gare, is one our favourite haunts in Geneva and every year we visit this place just to taste their simple exotic steak, salad and French Fries. The decor in keeping with the old world charm adds to our fond memories of yesterday year. The exceptionally efficient staff who are with hotel... More

They serve only one dish (no decisions to make). And they do it well and with class. Go there but bring your gold card.

When paying abroad, you should be given the choice tp pay in either the local currency or your home currency. At this restaurant, the home currency was imposed, thereby giving the restaurant a currency gain! Outrageous and total lack of respect for the customer!! I DO NOT appreciate cheap tricks like this!

If you want steak and frites in Geneva - this is the place. Very busy restaurant, you will need to book. Good deserts.

Only one thing to eat: meat with french fries. Delicious meat with its legendary sauce "café de Paris". Great quality meat. Expensive for what it is.

This restaurant is conveniently located and the waiters speak good English. That's it. If you wish to have better food, there are plenty in this international city. If you are not familiar to the city, it is not a bad idea to dine here, looking at people. The food is not such great but the atmosphere will compensate.

This is an interesting restaurant. I have been here at least 10 times. There is no menu since they only serve one thing: Entrecôte. But that is a very good entrecôte. The only question get from the waiter is how you want your meat cooked. The meat comes on a large tray with the meat surrounded by a delicious sauce... More

A mixed impression. The good: - handy location, next to the train station - good service - fairly good steak - they serve until 11pm (RARE in Geneva) The bad: - WAY over-priced - over-seasoned salad - fries not fresh - kind of dingy atmosphere. I wouldn't return, but Geneva is a tough town for restaurants unless you're willing to... More

After many enjoyable meals in the Cafe de Paris restaurant in Geneva I took my nephew and his wife there on Saturday 13th April to sample the exquisite sauce. Despite arriving shortly after 7pm we were instantly made to feel unwelcome and appeared to be irritants to both a lady who appeared to be the manageress and a particularly objectionable... More
