Collonge Café Restaurant

A nice restaurant with excellent service from friendly waiters. We had reserved in advance for a party of six vegetarians and informed the restaurant. They have on their menu some vegetarian dishes but in addition we were also offered some of their other menu items which could be served without fish or meat. We were also offered that they could prepare for us pasta dishes with pesto sauce. These options offered a quite positive beginning of the evening. As start i took their beetroot & cheese salad, which tasted delicious. Some other table guests ordered their tomato mozzarella starter which was less great as the mozzarella type used in that dish was quite chewy and spoiled the enjoyment. Also when charging more than chf 20 for a tomato mozzarella salad, one expects a great experience prepared with a top mozzarella cheese. The bread served with the starters was excellent and we very much enjoyed that. As second course i choose their risotto with lemon which dish was ok, but i found it a bit too sour. One other guest ordered a spagetti with pesto sauce dish. That serving was quite small and tasted not impressive. In addition also for that simple, small portion, dish far too much charged. When asking for the bill we were surprised that the dishes we ordered, without the fish or meat parts, were been charged without any deduction in the price as those are the most expensive elements of a dish. We were told that instead we were given a larger portion.... ?? In conclusion, a nice restaurant in a great setting with really excellent waiter service. For vegetarians more needs to be done to provide exciting dishes that justify the full prices that are being charged.

The hidden gem outside of the busy streets of Geneva; We loved our experience! My husband and I enjoyed a long, lazy lunch on the beautiful outdoor terrace overlooking the park, it was a perfect backdrop for what turned out to be an exceptional dining experience! Our starter plates included tuna tataki and beef tartare on freshly baked ficocca bread, yum for pure flavour perfection! The al dente pasta with tender langoustines was silky and indulgent, while the crispy Milanese veal with golden potatoes and peppery rocket was heaven for comfort food. Dessert was a showstopper: a cloud-like tiramisù dusted in cocoa and a rich chocolate dome paired with fresh strawberries, almost too pretty to eat (almost!). Our meal was perfectly paired with outstanding wines, introduced with charm and humour by the Collonge Cafe team. Their warmth, attentiveness, and passion for what they do made us feel truly spoiled. Thank you, Collonge Cafe, for a memorable afternoon of exquisite flavours, beautiful surroundings, and joyful service. We can’t wait to return!

Five star place, amazing host Christopher and excellent Italian chef Daniel with world of experience. Tried surprise menu which was world class. Excellent starters prepared with best produce & meats followed by an outstanding Swiss beef. Very classic wine collection to pick from. Great ambiance and great hospitality experience. A must try place for all kind of formal or causal dining. Made my day. Highly recommended.

Such an amazing restaurant: delicious fresh food, great atmosphere and music, staff is so friendly! They make you feel very welcome! Highly recommended

Very nice restaurant in Genève with outdoor patio. The atmosphere, food, and staff were delightful!

Outstanding restaurant, a real hidden gem. The chef prepares authentic Italian fare, complemented by an excellent wine list and original cocktails. Lunches in the summer outside in the park are a real treat.

Location is nice, food is really average and expensive. Service low average and very child unfriendly. Unfortunately we come from time to time because very few/no alternatives close by. We came with and without our child, the service is never fast and waiters never friendly, although we are local , and live in the village and Swiss. Once we had been totally forgotten and were waiting for drinks for 40 Minutes while the restaurant was almost empty, another time out baby dropped a dessert on the floor (and we apologised profoundly) and then next time we came we were literally told off and asked to behave « better ». We left a very very generous tip and waiter looked at us with almost a disgust like « how dare you still come ». It stands to reason that food is really not high standard and very often main dish is really not good and dessert there is nothing to choose from, especially considering value for money. I find it very sad , because this setting could be put to much better use. All our neighbours and friends from neighbourhood agree that place is not up to standard and had low quality of food and high prices , bad service, but there are lot many places in the vicinity, so people still come. Sad.

Food is good-very traditional, classic, well sourced produce, but overpriced for what you get in my opinion, and frankly a bit boring. Service and staff were very welcoming and professional. Would come back for a lunch or a drink on the terrace but probably not for dinner.

Horodatage 11h30, nous nous sommes assis pour prendre un verre, nous leur avons dit à l'avance que nous ne restions pas pour le déjeuner 15 minutes après 11h45, le propriétaire vient après que nous ayons commandé une deuxième tournée de boissons et disons que nous devons quitter la table dans 5 minutes parce qu'ils nous nous préparons pour le déjeuner, et tout l'endroit était vide, il pouvait nous donner le temps de finir au moins nos boissons, nous lui avons dit que nous allions finir nos boissons, il nous a dit "c'est chez moi, c'est comme ça ces tables sont pour le déjeuner, vous devez partir de la voix la plus grossière et quand mon ami a commencé à essayer de lui parler, il était extrêmement grossier avec elle, Dieu merci, nos enfants jouaient et ils n'ont pas pu témoigner avec grossièreté, jamais été traité comme ça avant que le service client soit horrible ici pour dire moins venant du propriétaire ne recommandera cet endroit à personne si le propriétaire vous traite personnellement comme ça ce que vous pouvez dire du personnel Timestamp 11:30 we sat down for drinks, we told them in advance we were not staying for Lunch 15 mins after 11:45am owner comes after we order a second round of drinks and say we have to leave the table in 5 minutes because they we're getting ready for lunch , and the whole place was empty he could give us time to finished at least our drinks we told him we're gonna finished our drinks he told us " this is my place, is like this this tables are for lunch you guys have to leave in the most extremely Rude voice and when my friend proceeded to try to talk to him he was being extremely rude to her , thank God our kids were playing and they didn't got to witness with Rudeness, Never been treated like this before the customer service is horrible here to say less coming from the owner will not recommend this place to anyone if the owner treats you personally like this what you can speak from the staff

I'm so happy to finally have a trendy fancy and absolutely stunningly beautiful and delicious place to go in collonge-bellerive. Perfect place for an afternoon Koffie or Tea you can even watch the kids play in the park as you enjoy the sun on their terrace. The food is outstanding and the taste is authentic and simply delicious italian. The service is OK sometimes a little clumsy and relatively slow. The price is high and you can't really afford to go there all the time. But that's what's nice about it, you save up and enjoy a special moment with the people you love. I did not apreciate the fact that parents brought their poorly brought up kids to the restaurant. Seriously folks please don't ruin everyone else's meal just because you want to have some family time it's not fair for the others to have to endure the occasional bangs, clashes and screams. If you have young children play with them, let them be wild and get dirty but don't force them to act like you in a classy environment it's cruel, unnatural and a lot of training is necessary it will come with time just like training a pet patience and dedication are key to education and success. All in all not a 5* experience but expect to be surprised by this place!
