La Belotte : Chem. des Pêcheurs 11, 1223 Cologny

Exactly what a restaurant should be: perfect food ((imaginative yet traditional and extra fresh), simple no frills true (no frills) elegance , rigorously friendly service.

Well...well...I’ve seen many inconsistent statements below, which makes me feel we were at the different place. We have been served by a very professional gentleman - Tristan who even provided us a service at the table whole night long. Nice, young gentleman full of humor. Place itself is very clean, terrace is fully refurbished. Actually, it is one of the rarest place located at the lake in Geneva which has everything together: location, service, cleanliness and food. This is why I am saying that the reviews I’ve read before are a bit inconsistent. Someone had said that food is horrible. I think this type of comments has to be banned by google. You can’t state that. We were 2 couples and had fish and meat, but all of us admitted that food was delicious. I personally had a beef steak which was very tasty. I’ve asked it well done, however Tristan advised me to have it medium- well done ( a point ) and it was as I wanted. It is very rare in Geneva and surroundings where they can make 250 grammes of beef steak as you have asked and even better then you could have imagined. My husband and our friend had filet de perché and admitted that home made sauce was very thin, light and better than at any lakeside restaurant in Geneva. I go back to Tristan, who provided us an excellent service whole night long. I have had an impression to be somewhere in Moscow, Dubai or Sardinia restaurants where service is THE SERVICE. Thank you, dear Tristan for your professionalism and implementation. It is very rare nowadays to love what are you doing.

Returned to la Belotte after a +25yrs break, and we enjoyed a great table facing the front lake, good food and attentive service. A nice walk helped with digestion. NB: As my shrimp dish was huge they graciously arranged for a doggy bag - which my husband and I enjoyed the following day as 2 small starters!
