Great little mom/pop diner to enjoy traditional Swiss meal. We had the cheese fondue...but our favorite was the Swiss Cheese Melt (Raclette). The Swiss macaroni and cheese with bacon is also very good. They do not offer American chocolate fondue but they do have other desserts. The restaurant is a bit off the beaten path and parking is limited. They close between lunch and dinner so make sure they are open before you go. Also just a warning that they didn't seem to speak much English at all so ordering was more difficult if that is your only language. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our meal and the Swiss Cheese Melt (Raclette) alone made it worth any difficulties! Delicious!

We'd been here once a while ago in the summer, we sat in their terrace and lunch went great. This time we got to sit inside, and it's a very cozy environment, almost like being at someone's home. Staff is extremely polite and charming, which considering where we are geographically located is already a big plus. We ordered a 'plat du jour' and got more than we bargained for. Food was exquisite, even for a very simple daily special. So, if we get all this on a rainy Tuesday, I can only imagine that when its a special occasion we can get wonders! Congrats to chef and staff and thank you for a wonderful lunch experience, we will certainly be back.

We enjoyed our meal on a Saturday evening in May. The beef tartare well seasoned and very tasty, the vol au vent idem and the 350 gram (must be 12 ounce) entrecôte first rate, though not actually cooked rare (saignant) as I ordered. Thus if you really want it rare, insist. The accompanying fries really good. Portions are big.The wines by the glass are mostly local and very fairly priced. Enjoyed the Mondeuse red wine. The dessert we chose was a citron givré and was delightfully tart. The service was friendly enough but could perhaps improve with a bit more professionalisme. The decor is rustic and pleasing.

We have been please de to meet our daughter at newlyopened 2 potes o'feu. We knew the place when it was a Maroccan restaurant. The new owner and his staff are pretty friendly and have prepared an appetizing menu, not too long a list. You find pot au feu of course and other dishes such as liver paté or meat at the grill. The wine list is well chosen at decent price. Worth a visit with friends and family.

Had a very good meal with friends while visiting Geneva last month. The staff is friendly and professional, the food is delicious, the portions are very generous and they have a very good selection of local Swiss wines. We arrived a little early however within half an hour all the seats were taken. Reservations may be wise especially towards the end of the week. The deserts are not to be missed. Looking forward to going back next time we are in Geneva.

This is easily one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. It doesn't have a Michelin star but it appears in the Michelin restaurants guide and is what I like to call a 0 Michelin star restaurant (and all of these I've been to have been excellent).It is located just over the border from Geneva, in a non-descript mostly residential and quiet street.The service is top notch, like that you'd find in a 5 star hotel and all the staff were very attentive.The restaurant is decorated all in shades of brown, in a sort of homely country style but also very modern. It (including the bathroom) was spotlessly clean.The food was absolutely amazing. You have a choice between 4, 5 or 7 courses for the degustation taster meal. We had 5 courses (which was more like a total of 8: amuse bouche/appetizer, 3 entrées, main, granita and 2 desserts). The foie gras entrée with pear sauce was outstanding. The presentation was stunning (see photos). The seafood dish (mostly smoked salmon) and the guinea fowl/beetroot dishes were all out of this world. The dessert with crunchy chocolate cookie and creamy mousse was a delight in the mouth. The combination of crunchy and creamy, sweet and sour (passionfruit and yuzu lemon coulis) was amazing.I enjoyed all the dishes except the frogs' legs which were a bit too salty for my liking, and thus disappointing. I also did not like eating it out of a bone sitting on a pile of dried grass. It was a shame about that, otherwise everything else was 10/10 for me.Although the waiters explain the dishes, I would have personally preferred to see the names written down somewhere. The actual dishes and ingredients are not listed on their menu.It is a bit on the pricey side but great for special occasions and worth every penny!

If you like beef, that's the place to eat! Simple concept, only one meal: a salad as a starter, a beef entrecote with french fries for the main, and a small selection of desserts. The meat is really good, served with a home-made sauce "Mademoiselle". Trendy decoration and nice service. No surprises. I'll be back!

This modest looking restaurant serves excellent Franco-Italian cuisine at very reasonable prices. To be highly recommended both for the quality of its traditional dishes (pâté de foie gras, beef dishes, fish and sea-food) and for its service , which is helpful and efficient without being overinterfering. Excellent value for money, very good ambiance and pleasant premises. Closed on Sundays and Mondays, it is open lunchtimes and evenings on all the other days, excepting Saturdays (evening opening only). Lunchtime menu at lunchtime prices available. Ideal for business meetings at lunchtime of for couples, friends and family outings in the evening.

We stayed in Annemasse for a few days and from other reviews sought out this restaurant in which to have our evening meals.We were offered a very friendly and warm welcome. The waiter was most knowledgeable about the meals and wines - giving us suggestions. Behind the scenes the chef produced plentiful courses very quickly which were extremely tasty.The evenings were not rushed: there was no desire from our side, or the restaurantâs, to get out of the door; in fact we could probably have lingered far longer!I can thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

Lovely restaurant but quite far outside the Geneva city centre, you will need 20 minutes to reach it by car. It is literally adjacent to a former French border control point.We took the tapas tasting surprise menu. In general we enjoyed it even though some dishes were hit and miss. Some for example were quite spicy some other felt rather bland from a spices point-of-view.Wine menu is short, but we managed to try several ones and price/quality ratio was excellent.The only comment I would make is champagne by the glass, a small producer rosé (excellent btw no issue here) is charged 25 CHF which is very high even by Geneva standards.Next time we will try the regular menus.Very friendly service by the owners. Husband cooking and wife managing the restaurant.Bonjour,Merci pour votre gentil message.Juste une chose m'interpelle, nous ne vendons pas le champagne rosé à 25.- mais 21.-, voulez-vous me renvoyer la facture ou me donner vos coordonnées (par message privé sur notre site www.le-cigalon.ch via les reservations) afin que je controle et fasse le nécessaire.Je reste à votre disposition.Corinne Bessire
