The verdict

The Relais de l'Entrecôte applies the Paris house formula in Geneva: no menu card, just one menu. Walnut salad, entrecôte with the secret sauce, fries, and a second helping served during the meal.

Its Google rating of 4.3 from more than 3,200 reviews is that of a well-oiled formula, popular with families.

On the menu

The single menu, with a choice of cooking and dessert. There is nothing else to choose, which explains the speed of the service.

Our advice

Arrive early: the house takes no bookings and the queue grows fast in the evening. The Jardin Anglais and the lake are a few minutes away to walk off the meal.
