Café du Marché

Geneva


Location and ambience alone might tempt you through the door, but the food is what you'll really remember from this refined restaurant on Carouge's picturesque central square. Everything from salmon baked en papillote to slow-roasted lamb with Moroccan spices is well-prepared and served with effortless courtesy. Save room for desserts like pear tarte Tatin or Grand Marnier soufflé.
