Super endroit! - Edit
Endroit cosy et décontracté! En été, il y a une super terrasse, très bien décorée et assez éloignée de la route - vraiment tranquille. Personnel super friendly, options véganes bonnes. Au top!

worth the money! - Edit
more than half of the menu is vegan, and a lot of gluten free options as well. we had the Tomme oriental and Tartare de seitan local. the Tomme oriental came with what seemed like a soft vegan cheese, which was super tasty. the Tartare was truly incredible overall, 5/5 stars.
Read moreit's a bit pricy, but maybe that's just Geneva. it was definitely worth it!

Amazing vegan options! - Edit
I already knew this place as it is a great cultural space in Geneva (my hometown) and the restaurant is famous for its good food.
Read moreI was honestly surprised with the high quality of the vegan options, that were not only creative, but were also made mainly with local and seasonal products and were extremely tasty and beautiful to look at.
I definitely recomend it!
Can seem a bit pricey, but the portions and quality of the food are worth the price.
Pros: A third of the menu was vegan with gf options!, Food tastes and looks amazing, Local products are mainly used in the food

Excellentes options véganes - Edit
Les plats véganes sont délicieux et magnifiques. Mais pas de dessert pour les véganes, sauf si on aime le matcha.
Read moreCons: Un seul dessert végane

Used to be better - Edit
This restaurant is a cozy restaurant and a great option especially after going to an art event or film in the Grütli. Almost half of the menu is vegan (they've put hearts to indicate which ones) however it's rather on the expensive side.
Read moreI would have given five starts to this restaurant last year, as it had really creative options, great deserts and one of the best tofu dish I had in a while, but last time I went I noticed the quality seems to have dropped whilst the prices soared so I would think twice today.
Pros: Great location, really cozy, Creative menu
Cons: Expensive

Thoughtful fine-dining - Edit
This was a wonderful experience. The Café du Grütli strives to serve ethical and sustainable cuisine. Although they serve meat and other animal products which doesn't go well with this ethical approach, they seem to realise there is an argument for veganism and made most of their offer vegan. The food was divine. You don't very often get a fine-dining experience as a vegan, but this was certainly one of these rare occassions. Definitively try it out for a slightly different vegan experience.

Okay but probably need an acquired taste - Edit
We spotted this place one night and tried to get in but it was pretty busy so had to ring to book a table for the next night. Tried emailing them first but never got a response but ringing was fine as they spoke good english.
Read moreI personally enjoyed the Seitan Tagine, it was tasty. However others in the group weren’t keen on their dishes maybe need an acquired taste for some dishes.
The atmosphere in the place was lovely.
Pros: Lots of vegan options , Vegan options clearly marked, large portions , Nice atmosphere
Cons: Have to ring to book a table as gets pretty busy

Nice to see "vegan" labels on a menu! - Edit
We were pleasantly surprised to see they have quite a few very creative and flavourful vegan options. We ordered the 'Salade Automnale' and the 'Blini's aux châtaignes' which had some salad, scones and cheese (from a local vegan cheese shop), really nice.
Read moreThey also have some vegan main dishes, such as seitan and a burger. And a vegan dessert!
They open till late, the decoration is welcoming and the service was great.

Perfect place for a group - Edit
Multiple vegan options, including dessert, clearly marked. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, very generous portions. The outdoor garden is lovely, and the inside looked cool, also. Would definitely recommend, especially if you're with non-vegans, since everyone will be happy.

Incontournable ! - Edit
Une de mes deux adresses favorites à Genève : au moins 4 assiettes sont toujours proposées vegan, et toujours un dessert, avec quelques sorbets sans blanc d'oeuf (mention spéciale pour le chocolat de Sadé). La tomme de la Crèmerie Vegane est sublimée et varie selon les saisons, en étant à chaque fois délicieuse. Les autres plats ou salades sont également recherchées, créatives et pleines de saveurs.
Read moreIl y a malheureusement toujours un poisson et une viande proposées, mais ça permet aussi de toucher des personnes qui n'iraient pas dans un 100% vegan.
Les 3 gérantes sont parfaites, les producteurs sélectionnés, la monnaie Léman acceptée et la terrasse en été bondée : réservation conseillée.
Très bon rapport qualité prix pour Genève : de la grande cuisine à prix raisonnable.

Some great gourmet and fancy vegan options - Edit
Es un lugar muy rico, con buena atención y varias opciones veganas gourmet. Comimos 3 platos deliciosos, todos perfectamente presentados y sabores que no probábamos hace tiempo. No es barato, pero nada en Ginebra en barato. Las opciones vegetarianas que pidieron nuestros amigos se veían buenas también.
Read moreIt is a very nice place, with good attention and several gourmet vegan options. We ate 3 delicious dishes, all perfectly presented and flavors that we had not tried for a long time. It's not cheap, but nothing in Geneva is cheap. The vegetarian options that our friend had looked good too.

The grilled cashew cheese is a must try - Edit
60-70 per cent of the main dishes are vegan, and there were 2 vegan desserts. I had the grilled cashew cheese ('Tomme' style) on a spinach bed and with mushrooms. It was totally amazing. The risotto and the quinoa buddha bowl looked great too. Lively atmosphere. In the building there is a theater and a cinema too. They have exhibitions and other events there too, often with vegan food served. Highly recommended.
Read morePros: Fantastic food, Homey, nice environment, in the center
Cons: Serve fish, meat, diary
