L'Olivo : Rte François-Peyrot 34, 1218 Le Grand-Saconnex

L’Olivo offers a pleasant dining environment with a decent team and nice atmosphere that works well for both quick bites and business meetings. The setting is comfortable and the service is adequate, making it a convenient spot for casual dining or professional discussions. Unfortunately, the food quality significantly undermines the overall experience. While the restaurant sources good quality beef for their burgers, the kitchen execution is severely lacking. During our visit, we ordered two burgers - one medium and one well-done - but both arrived nearly raw and clearly undercooked. This represents a serious food safety concern and demonstrates poor kitchen management. The quality of the ingredients shows promise, but without proper cooking techniques and attention to customer specifications, even premium beef becomes inedible. For a restaurant to succeed, consistent food preparation is essential, and L’Olivo falls short in this critical area.

Very good, but had to sit outside because the inside seating area smelled strange like fish and it was quiet, and awkward - I felt the only good option was to sit outside. I also felt it was extremely expensive for feta cheese and watermelon, but it's my first day in Geneva, so maybe that is normal? It also took a very long time to be able get my check and leave. Even after I asked for it, it took 30 minutes, plus I told the waiter how extremely tired I was and wanted my check but it still took way too long. Others got their bill while I watched.

I had the business lunch here on my last day in Switzerland. From a Singaporean Chinese perspective, the food is excellent. Really rich flavour but the quantity was too much for me, I couldn’t finish the mains nor desert. I highly recommend this restaurant - nice surroundings, polite staff and awesome food.
