Restaurant Arabesque

The staff are incredibly awesome!! Big thanks to Ralf, Sara, Luca, Hugo, Milla, and of course, the amazing chefs!! But I was very sad to hear that Laticia left 😢 she was so charming, I wish her all the best.

Meal was delicious. They also offer fun non alcoholic drink options. I see the negative reviews often discuss value for money, but first you have to remember this is Geneva, second just get the discovery menu and you get a feast, plenty of food even for the price. Service, like everywhere in this hotel, was excellent.

High quality food. Excellent environment. Price was correctly set with what they gave you on the plate. Staff were attentive, polite and friendly. Ingredients used were fresh. All dishes available were finger-licking. The dessert menu should not be missed. We use to come here regularly for social gatherings and celebrations. A very nice Lebanese restaurant highly recommended for dining.

Very small restaurant compared to the hotel, specially when if it a breakfast restaurant. I was hard to get a table for two where it is not a holiday season. Tables are very very close to each other although, the surrounding area is vast and they can accommodate many people. Buffet options is average and does not represent a luxury hotel. Overall experience is average and can be much better after considering the space and food options factors.

I was part of a table of six that came for dinner on 2 Dec. While the food was good, the wait staff was nice, and the ambiance was on point, the actual service was well below average 👇🏽. For the price point of this restaurant in a top rated five-star hotel, the service was both incredibly disappointing and frustrating. Again, the wait staff were nice but it was obvious they have not been provided the training needed to be professional in their craft. Few examples: 1) My friend requested a cocktail be made with tequila rather than rum. When she specifically asked which tequila would be used, the waiter's response was something to the effect of, "I don't know. That's done at the bar." The waiter did not offer to even check, and my friend had to specifically ask him to do this. It was frustrating that we had to press the staff to provide such basic information. 2) We ordered at least 6-7 appetizers that were meant to be eaten with pita bread. Yet we had to ask for the bread THREE times between two separate wait staff. The staff or kitchen were soo slow that we didn't even get any bread until we were more than halfway through the appetizers! Add to that, the bread was cold. For the amount of time and chasing staff it took to get this, at minimum it could have been a quality product. 3) It was only when we were more than halfway through the main course that the waiter offered to provide us toasted pita, noting it was very good. I don't understand why this was offered at the very beginning of our meal. For a restaurant that is part of a five-star hotel, we all assessed the staff were having an off day. The restaurant was barely at 40 percent capacity so it's not as if they were overwhelmed with too many customers. Overall, for the price point and five star affiliation of this restaurant, it was not remotely worth it due to the well below average service. I am therefore, unfortunately, unable to recommend Restaurant Arabesque.

Extremely nice experience. I had the tasting menu and it was delicious. It really looked and tasted amazing. It is approx 100 CHF per person though. However if you're not looking at the money, you have to go there.

Arabesque Geneva is a gem! The atmosphere is cozy and beautifully designed, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing meal. The food was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall great experience. I’ll definitely be back and recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Lebanese cuisine in Geneva.

Finally, real Lebanese food! In the US, it is very hard to come by this cuisine. Many knock offs or Turkish food posing as middle eastern but my dream of an authentic fattoush salad was granted here finally. I shared the salad, warm beef hummus, these halloumi cheese cigar things, and the mixed grill along with some Lebanese Shiraz with a friend. All of it was amazing and worked out to about 55 CHF per person, which was less than a burger and a drink cost in Zermatt so I thought it was a steal. We were surprised with an amuse bouche to start and tasty little pieces of baklava at the end.

Arabesque is located inside Hôtel President Wilson. I quite like this place. It's rather small and intimate. The decor is kind of a whimsical theme of Arabian Nights. The food is flavorful. Staff is nice. Love the tea. I'd go back if I'm craving for Lebanese. The price is pretty reasonable IMO for Geneva standards.

Really beautiful restaurant with great service and some of the most delicious food! The staff is extremely nice. Loved the desserts too, which is surprising because usually we don't enjoy Arabic/middle eastern dessert.

The food we ordered was very standard. The prices are high understandably given the restaurant is inside a 5 stars hotel. The service was super slow even though it was lunch time and they didn't have a lot of customers. The nice thing is that they hired a waiter that speaks Arabic to tailor to the gulf area customers. Overall would not recommend if you are looking for middle eastern food in Geneva.

We had a nice dinner here a few weeks ago after my wife and daughter rolled into the hotel off the redeye from America. There is a huge selection of choices and it is a great place to try different things from middle eastern cuisine.

The best Lebanese food in Geneva, excellent service and superb welcoming. The quality and the taste of the food like homemade. Definitely I will keep coming because it is one of my favorite place.

The service is excellent The appetisers especially the spicy hommus (beyruti) was delicious Not impressed with the mixed grills nor the shawarma

Highly recommended restaurant. The service is impeccable and the chef Joseph (who greeted us) is true talent, certainly mastering the Lebanese cuisine in all it's dimensions yet he has added a fusion element that we have not encountered at any other Lebanese restaurant. If you are in Geneva and the neighboring cities, getting a taste of this restaurant is absolutely a must.

Great lebanese food in a small intimate place. Great mezze and roasted meats to share with your table. Expensive for the portions but the quality is always there.

The Lebanese food here is certainly of high quality and well-presented and the service is the best you'll find in the city. However I simply found the portions much too tiny for the price you pay. The lunch menu is very good value at 45 francs for 3 courses.

This place is small but the Lebanese food they serve has big flavor. Set inside the President Wilson Hotel, it's quite opulent, sleek and beautiful inside. I dined here on a one night stay in Geneva with my wife and two daughters. This is a service restaurant. The servers were friendly and helpful. They were always there without being intrusive. They were even nice enough to familiarize us with some Lebanese dining customs like the presentation of fresh, whole vegetables at the beginning of the meal. We were a little slow getting acquainted with things (plus, it's a big menu) but pretty soon we were slicing up the fresh veggies and enjoying the olives an pickled vegetables they brought as well. Then, some great flat breads came. And, we hadn't even ordered yet. We ordered some baba ganoush and hummus for starters. The baba ganoush was really good. The hummus was also very good but paled a little in comparison. Both were very fresh and well-presented. For me, the hummus had a bit too much tahini in it (but, really, what do I know???? It was still good). We got the lemon chicken wings and three-cheese Lebanese pizza for Thing 1 and Thing 2 to split. Both were excellent. Wife got the baked spinach and lemon rissoles and she thought it was very good but might have been a little lacking (she described it as "filling"....kind of what you say when you don't have something nice to say, I guess). I got the skewered beef with a cumin and paprika rub. It came with a trio of rices and the whole dish was very simple but just really outstanding. So, with the exception of my wife's spinach dish, everything was pretty darn good and the flavors were bold and well-balanced. Overheard the couple next to us say that they had heard it was the best Lebanese restaurant in all of Geneva and I believe it. OK. I mentioned that my whole family came to Arabesque. Thing 1 is ten and Thing 2 is six. They were fairly well behaved and there was at least one other family in there with a child. But, this really isn't a kid place. Will definitely go back.

You have to like lebanese Food to enjoy it. Location is nice and the Food too... If you like lebanese Food.
