Restaurant Le Décanteur

Our favourite restaurant in Geneva! Hands down most delicious and fresh food. Friendliest team, and great atmosphere. It is always a culinary experience!

A hidden gem in Geneva. You don't find places like this very often. Only a few tables, a passionated staff with a frequently changing menu and excellent products. The are specialized in wines and Italian cuisine and what we ate was absolutely spot on. We took the 5 courses menu (shared first and dessert) which compared to Geneva price is more than fair for the quality. Once a month they have a special guest chef and organise a menu around. I advise to book in advance as the place is really small but that is also what makes your visit there such a special experience.

We booked for 5 person, ended up being 6. We kindly asked the waiter if we could add a chair on the side of the table. He refused, the proposal unfortunately in an unfriendly way. We apologized, and informed the waiter we would then release the table as we could not leave the 6th person outside alone. The owner and the waiter to our surprise started yelling at us in front of everyone saying that we had booked for 5 and that it was not acceptable. The exchange was very agressive, and really not matching our good will to arrange the situation. It made every person uncomfortable, at how dramatic both the owner and the waiter were behaving.. True, it was our fault to come with one person on top. It was a bit complicated to understand how they ended being that angry. Especially because the restaurant was empty, and there was really enough space to add a chair. In any case, you would not expect to be yelled at in a restaurant. Can’t comment on the food unfortunately. My suggestion: Being able to cook great food is a delight, being welcoming and professional is a must for a restaurant. You might want to work on the latter. Happy to come back in 6 months to assess how you have improved the above. Best, V

The food was excellent, as was the service. As this is a traditional Italian restaurant, they serve the food as it was conceived: no changes or substitutions. In addition, the wine accompanied our food perfectly. This adorable restaurant is a lovely little spot to try when in Genève. We were presently surprised and you will be too.

My absolute favorite restaurant in Geneva! The food is just exquisite and the chef / waiter are the most friendly Italians ever. Coming here feels like a great trip to Italy.

The food is amazing. Never had better food. The staff and chef is super friendly. You can watch the chef how he prepare every little detail in a front of you. Must do in Geneva

Wonderful dinner with very fine Italian food. The place is very cozy despite being on a loud street and the staff is super friendly and helpful. We will definitely come back.

Great food and excellent service.
