It would seem that small side streets that you could easily miss if you didn't chance upon them are often home to some of the finest restaurants. Indeed, Cittadella, a tiny Italian restaurant located in such a street in the Old Town is an absolute gem! While the food does tend to be on the expensive side, it is simply delicious, definitely worth trying at least once. They seem to make their own bread, which is always a good sign in my book, and the gnocchi is easily the best I've had in Geneva.

La Ferme
If you happen to be in Onex and you're craving a HUGE pizza, then La Ferme is the place to go! I doubt you'll be able to finish it!

Sofram
When most people think Turkish food in Geneva, they probably think of a kebab sandwich, but that's not what you'll be getting if you sit down to a meal at Sofram's, a small Turkish restaurant located in Servette. The food is tasty and fresh.
Pictured below: an assortment of Turkish appetizers followed by one of their signature dishes, köfte with a side of bulgur and vegetables.

Shogun
Shogun, yet another Eaux-Vives located restaurant, is considered to be one of the best Japanese places these days. The food is indeed fresh and tasty, their sushi certainly doesn't disappoint, and their seaweed salad is simply excellent!

Il Mirto
Il Mirto is an Italian restaurant located in Eaux-Vives. It's a little fancier than your typical Italian fare and in fact, the restaurant doesn't even serve pizza. Instead, it offers a unique selection of appetizers and various pasta, meat and fish dishes.
I definitely enjoyed their food and the atmosphere and would gladly go back.
