Le Philanthrope

They followed the COVID restrictions perfectly. This was the restaurant I wanted to visit as soon as lockdown ended and was not disappointed. The wine pairings were sublime, and the food and service were amazing.

They took so long in between the dishes. It took 1.40 hours to have the main course, I don’t know if they’re short of personal by the moment. But food amazing.

Super restaurant on reviendra avec plaisir ! Le menu de la St Valentin fût excellent

Thank you so much for your words. Best regards.

Excellent à la carte menu, but some in the group were let down by mediocre plat du jour. Service and setting were both at the high standard you would expect.

Great ambiance, the food is solid but not exceptional. There are some hits and misses, my foie gras was delicious but the wild boar terrine was quite chewy/tough (and in a way beyond what I would justify as acceptable for game meats). Very nice wines by the glass let you mix and match for different entrees/plats. Service feels a bit aloof, it took awhile to get menus, clear plates, refill glasses etc.

The only thing I have to remark is waiting times. We had to wait quite some time with dirty dishes on the table before they were cleared out.

Jamais déçu !

Great discovery in town!

Delicious food beautifully cooked, lovely wine, good atmosphere

Typical Geneva: the food is great but the service is crap. Moody, rude and disrespectful waiter. We’d ask things about dishes on the menu and he would just repeat in a condescending tone what was already listed. We can read, we just wanted to know more, but I guess he’s just a robot programmed to repeat the obvious. Us: “Can you tell us more about the roasted sea bass, please?”. Him: “It’s roasted.” When it came to the check, they mixed up our bill twice and the second time he just walked off mumbling something under his breath which we are 110% certain was not something positive about us. I would think twice about going again. I can’t believe these people... such a pricey restaurant and it’s like they’re doing you a favor by taking your order and serving you.

Very nice restaurant, nice atmosphere and good quality of dishes but too expensive (as example 15 francs for a dessert is too high). I would suggest to put some music also outside and to start closing the restaurant once the guests are already gone.

Excellent cuisine with enthousiastic and brave professionals. I am a fan since its inauguration.

The garden is really pleasent even in great heat and the dishes are excellent quality. The beef tartar and the tuna steak were delicious, and the side dishes were a nice surprise.

This is my favourite restaurant in Geneva- great value for money, such friendly, down to earth staff (including the chef who comes out to greet the customers!) and perfect food. I had the vegetarian option this time. It’s rare in Geneva to find a place that does more than a basic salad as a vegetarian option whereas I chose the dish because it looked amazing on its own and it really was. I have been here around 5-6 times and it has consistently surpassed expectation. Excellent!

Very good food!

Cher Monsieur, Merci de nous avoir visité et au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau. Cordialement. Le Philanthrope.

The service is poor. You have the impression that you are disturbing the waiter (the French one the italien is ok) ! The food is not so good and the quantities are very small.

Chère Madame, Cher Monsieur, Nous sommes désolé d'entendre que vous n'avez pas été conquis par notre restaurant. Nous serons ravis de pouvoir vous faire changer d'avis lors de votre prochaine visite. Cordialement. Le Philanthrope.
