The Mediterranean Grill

So this was my second visit to The Mediterranean Grill. I was quite happy with my first visit to the Turkish restaurant, and I wanted to go back to see how it held up. I definitely enjoyed my second meal there and would gladly go back for a third!

Mediterranean Grill

Constantly finding new restaurants you actually want to try in Geneva can be a bit of a challenge. But when I recently got my hands on some vouchers for the Mediterranean Grill, located in Plainpalais, I thought "Why not?" It turns out the Mediterranean Grill is actually a Turkish restaurant run by a very friendly gentleman.

The vouchers entitled us to a mixed appetizer platter and one of the specials as the main course. That day, the specials included lahmacun, a Turkish-style pizza, which we ordered mostly just because we wanted to taste it - but we were also drawn to some of the other items on the menu, so we ordered a couple of other dishes and paid the difference. The menu led me to believe there would be a few more veggies in my köfte dish, so that was a bit of a letdown but overall I enjoyed my meal at Mediterranean Grill and would definitely go back, though if a delicious Turkish meal in Geneva is what you're looking for, Sofram certainly comes to mind as a worthy contender.

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.
