Bistro de la Halle de Rive Café, Bistro, Brasserie

Commentaire général La vraie brasserie française. Des prix correct. À la carte c'est boudin au pomme, trippes, atriaux. Les stars genevoise sont tant en photo sur les murs accompagné du patron qu'a table. Les différents acteurs politiques genevois y feraient même campagne. La cuisine étend ouverte on a une vue direct sur les fourneaux et ses secrets.

Points à améliorer Vetuster des halles

Commentaire général Trop sympa. Mets de très bonne qualité. Un service souriant. Un patron toujours présent.

Commentaire général One of my fondest memories dates back about 25 years to eating a sandwich of tripes standing up at an eatery in the heart of the food market in Florence. There was such an atmosphere and I felt so much a part of it that you could have probably served me anything and I would still have been happy.

I have been hearing for ever about the eatery located in the Halles de Rive food market. The market is one of Geneva's bijoux along with its outdoor markets and the restaurant, slightly hidden and very much down-market and no frills, suggests what could be a hidden jewel waiting to be discovered.

Alas, our experience left a little to be desired. It is quite cute and does feel very much part of the market atmosphere. Staff are attentive in a bistro kind of way which means they are there but have limited time for each client.

The menu is varied but does not offer much: a few original plates like spaghetti with chanterelles mushrooms for instance. What strikes you are the prices with starters around 22 CHF and mains at 30 CHF: expensive for the setting. What disappointed were the tastes and delivery. This is really at the bottom of the range of what could be called acceptable in terms of presentation, taste, and cuisson.

Nice atmosphere, different product, but not very successful result.

Points à améliorer The quality and variety of the menu could be much more focused on the food in the Halles, and the quality and the presentation of the food leave a lot to be desired. Finally prices are a bit steep for what it is.

Commentaire général Une des meilleures fondues Genevoises que je connaisse. Bon acceuil.

Points à améliorer Etablissement un peu petit. Les tables sont à l'étroit.
