Instead of our usual Les Armures, we tried Le Gruyerien on the recommendation of our hotel concierge. Although farther away, it was easier to get to--right across from the #12 trolley stop. We had learned that tourists can get a card free for all local boats, trains and trolleys, so we went everywhere.. The fondue, a combination of gruyere and... More

A friend and I had a dried meat platter, Half & Half fondue for 2, and 2 pints. The fondue was really good, the dried meat platter was average (I live in Spain, so I'm kind of used to eating lots of dried meat, and honestly kind of tired of it), and the beer expensive. Our bill total came up... More

After trying another more central restaurant and failing to get a table we headed on a short tram ride to Le Gruyerien. The fondue was delicious and not hugely expensive. The staff were friendly and helpful. The mountain-cabin style decor was a little twee but what do you expect for a fondue restaurant? Recommended.

Ok, probably not the cheapest one, but anyway, since you'll never find anything REALLY cheap in this city, I think it's worth to spend a little bit more and to taste this one, that for my experience is the best one you'll find here!

The best fondue we have ever eaten was in this restaurant and it is not overpriced like the others restaurants in Geneve.

I was there with my wife last week, excellent service, basic decoration, fresh salads for starters with simple & excellent dressing. The viande des grisons was excellent, and fondue moitié-moitié just OK. Only one draught beer to choose from, the swiss one, and it's not my favorite. I kinow many other addresses in Geneva that are far better for a... More

The restaurant is a bit far from the center of Geneve but it is worth to go there for a typical fondue. You can go by tram (nº 14) and you will find it on right hand just before the Chene-bugeries stop. The fondue is excellent as it is the price (comparing with Geneve prices and quality). Service was very... More

This is a charming restaurant, totally without pretention. My husband and I were amazed at the amount of food on the meat platter he ordered - he was in heaven. The waitstaff do no speak much English, so knowing a little French vocabulary regarding food is helpful - but if you don't know any French, you can still muddle your... More

The fondue was good, the menu is very simple. We went there for lunch, there weren't a lot of people, maybe it was because it was weekend or the restaurant wasn't very popular, we don't know.
