Geneva
Meet Genevans at this earthy beach bar – rough and hip around the edges – at the Bains des Pâquis lakeside pool and sauna complex. Grab breakfast, a salad or the plat du jour (dish of the day), or dip into a fondue au crémant (sparkling-wine fondue). Dining is self-service on trays and alfresco in summer.
In summer you'll need to pay Sfr2/1 per adult/child to enter the pool area where the canteen is located.
