Le Relais de l'Entrecôte

A classic in Geneva! There is no menu, the waiters will simply ask you how you want your steak, which is served with their delicious secret sauce! You'll be happy to know that they afterwards come with a second serving of meat and fries! A small green salad with walnuts is offered as a starter. Try the desserts, they are really good!

Only bad thing is that they really make the best out of the space they have… You will feel a bit squashed, the tables are super close one to the other, and they will not let you sit until everyone from your group has arrived, but all these little nuisances are really worth it!

Most days you will be able to see a line of people waiting at this restaurant's door for a table… There must be a reason for that, right!?
