O Paraiso - Geneva

On a Sunday we went here for a nice Portuguese lunch. It was not very busy, so the Portuguese waitress had us pick a table. I took a steak with mushrooms, sauce, rice and frits and my girlfriend a bitoque cow meat that is practically the same, but with a fried egg instead of mushrooms and sauce. Both dishes were large portions and tasted very good. There was a nice music game and the atmosphere was relaxed. This could have been a restaurant in Portugal, with the exception of the price and temperature of course. Including a tip we paid CHF 65 for two main courses and two large bottles of water. In Portugal this would have been a disaster, but in Switzerland this is a fair price. I'd go back here.

Ce bar restaurant portugais vit sur une clientèle lusophone d'habitués. Pour les autres, il est plutôt quelconque. Nous y avons pris des cafés ou des pots et mangé. L'air conditionné peut être pénible, de même que les écrans avec MCM POP, qui jurent dans un restaurant portugais. La nourriture est de qualité moyenne au regard du prix. Toasts nuls. Viande mal cuite avec des sauces médiocres et des frites. La serveuse était sympathique mais a tenté de m'avoir sans succès sur l'addition. L'emplacement n'est pas central. Bref, vous pouvez l'ignorer, même en habitant à côté.
