  1. Café des Banques

    Contemporary French

    Save to a list Write a review On the Way Around

    A chic bistro in central Geneva where the mood sits somewhere between polished and genuinely convivial, which is harder to pull off than it sounds. The chef leans into seasonal French cooking with enough technical ambition to keep things interesting, and the wine list skews heavily French with room for the occasional outlier. The kind of place where lunch runs longer than planned.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Carpaccio of scallops

      “The classy yet cosily chummy setting provides the perfect foil to dishes of the likes of carpaccio of scallops enhanced by a sea urchin mayonnaise or free-range chicken served with a truffle-flavoured gravy.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
