"After many years of dining at the Cafe de la Paix, I have become very disappointed with the standard of service and the lack of clientele at what has been a very reliable and popular bistro. Tonight when I arrived, I found the restaurant to have only a few tables occupied and with the rear section shut off. Quite surprisingly and very unlike Geneva, I was told by the sole waiter to hang my coat on the coat rack he made no effort to welcome me). My guest and I then waited for a drinks order to be taken and we considered leaving at that point. Eventually our wine and food orders were taken and we settled down in expectation of a good dinner. While my starter of cal amaretti was excellent, my guest's dish of ravioli was cold and had to be rejected. His replacement dish of scallops was much better. Our main courses of Black cod and chevreuil were very appetising and we enjoyed them with the Gevry-Chambertin which we had chosen but only after being informed that our first choice of wine was not available!! In summary, the food was up to standard with the exception of the cold ravioli but the atmosphere and service were not anything like we had experienced on many prior visits I have to ask the question as to whether the owner is being distracted by his other restaurant in Carouge. I hope not but tonight's experience does not give me hope that the Cafe de la Paix will be in operation in the near future."

"An unrivaled meat feast at the Taverne du Valais in Geneva! I'm a regular at this place, and I must say it's a true meat lover's paradise. Without a doubt, it is the ideal place to savor the best charcoal meat in the city and the canton and appreciate pieces of stale meat of exceptional quality. As soon as I arrived, I was charmed by the warm and friendly atmosphere of the restaurant. The welcome from the staff was friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming ambiance that immediately put me at ease. But now let’s talk about the real star of the Taverne du Valais: its charcoal meat. It was simply divine! The meat was tender, juicy and melt in your mouth with every bite. The flavors were rich and savory, with a depth that revealed the exceptional quality of the meat. Plus, if you're a fan of stale meat, you've come to the right place. La Taverne du Valais offers a selection of stale meats, carefully prepared to achieve the perfect level of tenderness and flavor. It’s a real treat for the taste buds and an unforgettable taste experience. In conclusion, if you are in Geneva and looking for an exceptional meat-focused dining experience, I highly recommend visiting Taverne du Valais.

"My husband and I went to this restaurant with his sister and parents, we were five. There were 2 waiters and it took about 5 minutes to come and take our coats, which I found a bit long for a smallish restaurant like Diwane. Both...of the waiters were stressed and running around. Once we ordered 12 mezze dishes, we were served dishes progressively, which was fine. We asked for a water pitcher and never received it. When the first batch of mezzes came, we had not been served any bread. We asked for it and had 6 small pieces (triangles) of bread served. When I asked for more straight away (as we were 5), the lady (we think she was the owner's spouse) told us that the bread is served in this size so its stays warm and that they keep an eye on our table to replenish as soon as we finish the batch. Unfortunately, we had to ask and wait every time our bread was finished a very unpleasant experience. over, this same lady was falling sick or something and she was coughing into her hand and then touching plates to serve guests without washing them. The owner of the restaurant was also there and didn't seem very happy with his team as he was constantly criticising/scolding the waiters and we could even hear him from the kitchen. The great thing about this restaurant is its food fresh and delicious. We especially liked the moutabal, hummus (don't take the spicy one as it's not spicy at all), foul moudamas, grilled haloumi and taboulé."

"Last night my wife and I visited Fayrouz Garden. We brought our children, 4 and 8 years old. We sat outside with the kids playing in the large courtyard. The restaurant was almost empty, only 3 tables including ours with customers. A woman later identified as the owner took our order from my wife. But, while I was distracted with the kids, I noticed she returned three times to our table. I asked my wife why. It turns out this woman was aggressively instructing my wife to order for the children. My wife explained the kids had already eaten, but this woman refused to take no for an answer. When the woman approached my wife for a fourth time, I walked up to her and calmly asked she stop bothering my wife, the kids had eaten, we were dining for two only. At that moment the woman exploded with rage. It was crazy. She started yelling and screaming, telling us to leave. She frantically began gathering everything on our table. We were flabbergasted. For the life of me I could not understand what had happened to that woman. She was out of control. I walked into the restaurant and spoke to a man who also said he is an owner. I guess they work as a husband-wife team. He didn 't want to hear my story. He said, You have a table for four but only two people are dining. Huh? The restaurant was almost empty! We have two children who already ate! He wanted none of this and simply stated, Leave the restaurant. That was a bizarre, upsetting and emotionally humiliating experience. Needless to say we won 't go back there again. But, what really upsets me is the fact we were perhaps model customers. Well-behaved kids. Full dinner orders for my wife and I. Giving them business at a time things are slow during coronavirus. Civilized, quiet and polite. What we got was a crazed woman who shot like a rocket into a hate-filled hysteria, nonsensical and very rude. I am very sorry we had that experience."
