I'll be going to Geneva soon for a short trip.

Looking for the following tips, if anyone has them

1. Favourite Chinese takeaway
2. Favourite cafe for a simple breakfast (good croissant, good cappucino)

Many thanks

Hey I cannot help with the second question as i have no clue but for the first i can recommend this one

Im a regular there and the owner is very nice and most importantly for me he speaks english!

Which area will you be staying at?

Thanks for the suggestion Gata - that one seems doable since this time we will be staying in the old part.

When I used to visit, I more hung around Paquis.

We like Chez ma cousine, but it's a chicken resto.

Wow. Is that still around? Used to go there in 2010.

I haven't checked during the pandemics but it was there right before. I think they have a few joints now.

How about places for an aperitif cocktail, in the old town. I saw a place online called Bottle Brothers that looked promising?

Pâtisserie Mage for those croissants & breakfast - they are not true french ones, but much better than usual Swiss stuff that is so desperately subpar its not even fun to joke about

I'll answer my own questions....

For chinese, we changed our mind and had an Indian meal at Kiran. It was good, not great, I'd rate a 7.

For an apero, the bottle bros was a bit bland, service was not great, no snack offered, quite expensive. I'd avoid.

On the other hand, found a GREAT cocktail place called Mr Barber - very knowledgeable barman and innovative drinks, do check it out.

Also found an excellent patisserie

David Bourdenet, well worth a visit for breakfast, desserts, and coffee. We went back a number of times.
