Demi-Lune Café & La Salle à Manger

Was recommended to come here and were definitely happy that we went! We received amazing service and got to eat delicious food, no complaints whatsoever :)

We had 2 tapas, 3 drinks, and 3 entrees. Considering Geneva's prices the cost of the meal was significantly "cheaper" than other restaurants.

But would for sure suggest a visit to this restaurant :D

Stopped here for tapas and a drink while walking the area. Our server realized we didn't speak French and accommodated us by speaking English. I had the sweet potato fries and a Stirling beer and they were both delicious. My Mom had the guacamole and it was also good, but could have used a bit more salt. They did add pomegranates on top and that was a nice addition. The chips appeared to be homemade and were tasty.

We go several times a year. The burgers are good, not too big, and the fries are always served hot. That being said, fours years of going there and the service is pretentious or at best indifferent, and some of the other dishes, while tasty, are clearly made ahead and reheated. Mainly it's the service that bugs me...snobby without cause.

I liked Demi Lune Cafe. First of all, they're open for lunch on Sunday. And stay open until midnight. In fact, they stay open until 2am on weekdays. And considering they are one of not many places that are open on Sunday and offer pretty decent food, it's not insanely crowded.

Demi Lune is located in a pretty little part of town, just by a little square surrounded by coffee shops and bakeries. The square is a great place to sit and enjoy a coffee or ice cream during the summer, but has its own quaint European village feel during the winter. The little enclave of Place du Bourg-de-Four accessed through cobblestone-ish roads makes you feel like you're farther from the city than you actually are. The restaurant itself is a pretty good mix of quaint and modern, like a place you feel comfortable frequenting without having to feel like you have to be chummy with the owner.

Everyone at our table had the burger, which comes with a side of frites or salad. Expecting a skimpy dry salad, I opted for the frites, but was immediately jealous of my lunch mates' generous serving of luscious greens. But no complaints about the fries, they were thickly cut and crispy--I've been having a pretty good french fry streak lately, perhaps I was wrong in thinking that McD's has the best fries around?? :-P The burger itself didn't look very impressive at the outset, just a small flat bun with a thin meat patty. I was also concerned that they hadn't asked us how we wanted our burgers cooked. But I was pleased to find a nicely browned patty encasing a juicy pink center, topped with some sort of sauce. And it was just the right size. As anyone who knows me will know by now I'm not a huge fan of burgers, the thinner patty and smaller bun was actually more appealing to me than a monster-sized gourmet burger.

I didn't have dessert, but the chocolate ice cream was also well-presented.

The food wasn't amazing, but at about CHF15, you're paying about as much or perhaps less than a burger and fries at McDonald's. That seems to put things into perspective. Add the cozy ambiance, and you've got a winner. Another plus for the staff who were very accommodating of the rambunctious five year old in our party who spent most of lunch making "snowballs" from napkins and paper and throwing them across the table in a fairly loud game of snow-basketball.

We enjoyed dinner at Demi Lune last night for our weekly girl's night and we were all fans. The food was delicious, the wine was reasonably priced, there is plenty of space, and they are open late.

I highly recommend the salmon and bruschetta starters along with the veal medallion entree.

The only qualm I have is that the service was pretty bad for the first half of the meal.

But, based on the fact that they are open until 2am on weeknights and have a fun atmosphere along with good food, I know I'll be back.

The food is good, average priced.. it is not amazing, but I dont think you can expect much for the price point in Geneva.. Bar service is fine. Overall pleasant place for a casual evening out with friends

We were there in the evening for aperitifs. Nice vine bar/cafe to start the evening. The wines are good, the food is ok. The service is quick and friendly. Our waiter was very fun. There is specific atmosphere that you either like or not.

I used to go here a lot with friends in the summer holidays. We'd drink apricot juice and take a breather out of the sun. Dark blue and orange decor doesn't necessarily sound that appealing, but here it totally works, and all surrounded by the beautiful Geneva old town. Lovely memories of this place: it's definitely worth a find.

NIce bar in the centre of the old town, food good, drinks a little on the expensive side.

Nice little cafe full of atmosphere on the steep climb up to the old town. I had a burger which was cooked well, very tasty and had good fries with it. Pudding was also very good.


Pasta options looked nice, although didn't get to taste.
Not open on Sunday/Monday.
