Top choice in Geneva
Take an afternoon boat with CGN from Jardin-Anglais or Genève-Pâquis to Corsier for an early dinner at this superb lakefront seafood restaurant, which serves a mean rendition of the local speciality filets de perche. Located near the French border, those with their own wheels could combine a meal here with a visit to Yvoire or a ride on the Téléphérique du Salève.
You can also get here by mouette from Paquis to Port Noir, then catch an "E" bus to Corsier-Port.
