Le Phenix

For some reason, finding decent Chinese food in Geneva, seems to be something of a challenge. There are a number of Chinese restaurants in the area, but their food often leaves something to be desired. You'd think an international city like Geneva would offer quality food from all over the world, but somehow, more often than not, it misses the mark when it comes to Chinese food.

Nevertheless, a number of establishments do seem to get positive reviews on a regular basis. Le Phenix, located in Eaux-Vives is one such restaurant. A recent visit was the perfect opportunity to see for ourselves if the food and service actually lived up to the hype. For the most part we were rather satisfied with the experience. The food was good and fresh and the service was excellent.

Ponte Vecchio

Ponte Vecchio is an Italian restaurant located in Plainpalais. Their food is good, the staff is friendly and their menu boasts a number of pizzas, pasta dishes as well as many other house specialties. The pasta is pretty amazing, and while this is clearly no Luigia, even the pizza is quite good. Definitely worth a visit!
