Babel G. - Genève

At Babel, all is fresh and served with generosity. Rösti is tasteful and Babel fondue is a must for 'fondue bourguignone ' amateurs : unlike most restaurant who serve it with many sauces, Babel proposes a fresh mayonnaise with plenty of staff to add to it...: onion, parsley, capers, chive, garlic, etc... Be ready to be very close to your neighbors if you are in the 'café ' part of the restaurant. Ask for the dining room for more intimacy ! If you cannot stand to have cheese smell, do not go. But if you are ready to spend a good time and have a delicious (not gourmet) dinner lunch, do not hesitate. Tip : in the summer, the terrasse is wonderful !

We were wondering around the country side on Saturday around lunch. we turn on a side road close to the border and there is a little charming place. Few tables on the sun, a fountains and flowers blossoming everywhere. A perfect location to rest and...to be surprised. I went inside to find a waiter and the tables were all taken, i had a quick glimpse at the surrounding and it was well decorated and welcoming. We ask if we could seat outside. the nice men with a friendly attitude let us choose the table as no one was there yet, but in a matter of few minutes all table were taken by visitors appearing from nowhere.. we ha a nice glass of cold aligoté as aperitif and then plat du Jour a fillet of ferá a white salmon from the lake leman done on the pan with a sauce of white wine and lemon and rosti on the side. we had two plus another half of Aligoté the quality of the fish was excellent. out little dog appreciate she sause also with a piece of bread and the water gently offer by the nice man. Overall this discovery cost us a Giacometti. When the month and soul are satisfied the pocket remains silent.

Very few restaurants in or around Geneva are worthy of revisit, Cafe Babel is one of them. I went there more than 5 times during my time in Geneva, they do traditional cuisine, and they do it well. The decoration is like you stopped in time. I enjoyed it everytime.

Great restaurant with a friendly, old bistro atmosphere! The dishes are tasty and the waiter friendly, I recommend...

Der beste Service und leckere Gerichte. Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert!
