New menu, now much more vegan friendly - Edit
When I visited Amarante for the first time in autumn 2024 I was a bit disappointed like some other reviewers here. While the restaurant was 100% vegetarian, there was hardly any choice for vegans.
Read moreWith their new 2025 menu this has changed considerably: Now about 50% of their menu is vegan. I was there on a sunday and had the pancakes from the brunch menu, they were fantastic and beautifully presented. There is a different menu during the week (it's also seasonal, so check their website)
I also liked that the little extra they gave me with my coffee was a home-made caramelized almond. Delicious and vegan - normally in Geneva you have to remember to order a coffee without the free treat, as other places tend to give non-vegan ones.
Clearly, there are easy things that could still be improved (offer the vegan fondue from Crémerie Végane, offer a vegan croissant), the new menu is a fantastic step in the right direction, and I personally find Amarante one of the best lunch spots in Geneva, both for the location in the beautiful botanic gardens and for the beautifully presented and tasty food for very reasonable prices.

Options véganes délicieuses - Edit
Nous avons mangé un excellent hamburger végane à base de tempeh de quinoa maison, il était gourmand et copieux.
Read moreLes pommes-de-terre écrasées au four étaient très bonnes aussi.
Nous nous sommes vraiment régalées.
Le service est agréable et tout à fait rapide.
Le décor est magnifique car c’est au milieu du jardin botanique de Genève.
Deux point négatifs :
- le hamburger en version végane coûte 2 francs de plus que celui avec du fromage fait avec du lait volé aux vaches.
- pas de dessert végane, en dehors de 2 sorbets.
Je mettrai volontiers une quatrième étoile lorsque l’offre végane ne coûtera pas plus cher et qu’il y aura des desserts véganes gourmands.
Un troisième point négatif, il y avait des pièges à guêpes dans lesquels des pauvres guêpes agonisaient ! Le jardin botanique de Genève devrait savoir que les guêpes sont sentientes et que nous ne devrions pas les assassiner pour notre petit confort et que les guêpes font partie de l’équilibre de l’écosystème ! Des moustiquaires feraient l’affaire et n’assassineraient pas les guêpes !
Pros: Options véganes gourmandes , Joli cadre , Service aimable
Cons: Pas de dessert végane, Majoration du prix pour les options véganes , Pièges à guêpes !

New veggie place in town - Edit
Great location. It is always nice to have a new veggie place to go to. The food was good, portions a bit small, staff quite slow, and not enough vegan options (only one for the brunch and no cakes at all).
Read moreI hope the menu will improve soon because it is definitely a nice spot in Geneva, and I look forward to coming back.
Pros: Food was tasty, Location is ideal
Cons: Not enough vegan options, More vegan desserts needed
