Me and my husband visit this place whenever we are in Geneva on work. I loved their chicken and fries and the dessert is great as well. However, every time I leave with one shortcoming- the gravy or sauce is salty. Overpoweringly salty. It just spoils the entire dish. I hope they can do something about this.

We went with some friends and we had a delicious grilled chicken and thai salad. The atmosphere is nice and the service is quite good. If you are looking for a good price/quality meal this place is perfect. Very affordable comparing to prices in Geneva. Also they have non stop cuisine from 11:00am till 11:30pm, witch is very practical for tourists. It was a good experience in general.

This a good place to have a roasted chicken dish. The menu is composed of varieties with chicken meat. I enjoyed the main 1/2 roasted chicken dish with potatoes, it delicious and great for a midday budget brunch.
Try the Salade de poulet Thaï; the perfect chicken salad.

Located in the old town, right across from the Police Station, at a cute little hole-in-the-wall bistro, is where you'll find maybe the best meal deals in town. 15.50 CHF gets you half a chicken, a huge portion of fries, and a decent sized salad. Add in a couple drinks and you're out about 40 Francs. Most places (unless they're take-away) are going to run you close 40 Francs PER PERSON.

The restaurant itself is a cute little bistro with inside seating as well as a small patio. The staff were very friendly, spoke perfect English, and didn't mind a bit our toddler making a mess or noise (we sat outside - no others seated around us so it was a bit of a free-for-all! LOL!). Obviously, casual dining, though they did have linen table cloths, place mats, and napkins.

The food itself is the best I've had on my current trip. It's pretty hard to screw up chicken, but this was excellent. Well-seasoned and fall-off-the-bone moist (AND FULLY COOKED). If not for the desire to try a new place every day, I'd be back here on a daily basis. Definitely A++, 5-stars, 2-thumbs-up, whatever scale you want to give it. It's THAT good. You'd a fool to not include it on your visit at least once.
