Le Montparnasse

French and Swiss cuisine and a healthy "antidote" to the extremely touristy restaurants serving Swiss food. Most of the visitors are older locals who drop in for a few glasses of wine and a chat with the owner. Try the menu of the day and a good local wine!

Getting there: close to the Servette tram stop, 1 km northwest of Gare Cornavin
Price: mains Fr. 20-40, but has lunch specials and the three-course "Menu of the day" for Fr. 30

Café de la Gare
Of the two restaurants attached to the Hotel Montbrillant this is the pick. The beautifully decorated but unpretentious Café de la Gare captures the laid-back feel of some of the best sidewalk cafés in Paris. It's a great place for dinner as well, with excellent Swiss, French, and Italian offerings.
