Esquisse - Genève

Absolutely incredible meal from start to finish - 3 courses! Will absolutely go back. Foie gras maison with grilled brioche was divine - large portion - VERY pleased. Both had beef for mains, the 'pot au feu' special and filet de boeuf - the truffle mashed potatoes with the steak was just incredible and my braised beef was so tender & flavourful; the steak as well.Dessert was one of the best I've ever had! The same brioche from the foie gras but into french toast with speculoos crumble & salted caramel Gelato on top. To. Die. For. Omg. Restaurant was PACKED and the owners/servers were very sweet and friendly making sure everyone was well taken care of and pleased. Really nice experience - we will absolutely return!*A bit pricey is all, lucky we had a BuyClub voucher where we only paid 100chf for all of this but calculated it would have cost us 250chf for 2.

Owner is very keen on serving tasty and healthy food. By the way, he could be the brother of Eric Cantona. So do not disappoint him with your feedback or ordering! The best place are the tables close to the bar as they offer a cozy sitting. Finally, I like the beautiful and lively crowd.

On a small street, nice decoration, sympathetic servers and good menu. A little on the expensive side, the lunch specials are a little on the small side. Overall a nice classic place to visit, but there are better.

We ate in this restaurant on a Friday night. Despite the fact that the food is not bad at all, the restaurant is extremely noisy and it is absolutely impossible to hold a conversation without screaming.This is certainly due to the fact that the owners tried to squeeze in as many tables as possible which results in tables too close to each other (you literally have the impression of sharing the dinner with the customers sitting next to you). Price wise it is ok, but only if you have the "assiette genevoise" offer (otherwise it would be way to expensive).

First of all if you want to book a table here you end up on a voice message and are requested to leave your name, contact details, time and date you wish to have a table and then simply hope for the best. Oh, and it is all in French. When I arrived I was immediately told I had to vacant the table 1h45 later as they were double booked. Then I was asked at least 3 times within 10 minutes under what name I had made the reservation, at which point I was still the only one in the entire restaurant. The boss / manager /owner struts around all evening meeting and greeting and pending on where you are seated you hear all the ins and outs of their seating issues. Perhaps drop the 'leave a message' reservation system?? Our sweet waitress was interrupted half way through taking our orders by the same boss / manager /owner starting his rant about the specials. Only for him to stop mid speech, drop everything to go and greet new guests walking in. Which meant leaving us us to ourselves for a good 5 minutes, still without having made any order. The food is ok but the condiments / decorations is rather repetitive and not necessarily linked to the dish served. The desserts appeared hap-hazardly assembled (red fruit with meringue) and the lemon tart was simply stale. One of the staff members was just standing in the main passage for the entire time we where there like some sort of DJ. Strongly suggest the boss / manager /owner hoists up his trendy jeans, drops the attitude and the volume of his voice and re-thinks the customer experience here.
