I am not a fondue expert but I can compare it with the other ones I had in other places in Switzerland. The fondue was exceptional and by far the best. The decoration was nice but i would enjoy some light music though. The stuff was kind and willing to explain the menus in English.

Offers a relaxed atmosphere for fondue enthusiasts. The attentive staff enhance the experience. The fondue is enjoyable. However, it’s worth noting that, despite the casual setting, the prices align with the general rates in the area.

If you want to feel yourself imersed in a true, French armosphere, have a dinner at Le Gruyérien. Ask from the very beginning "fromage fondue". Is the maximum, gastronomical pleasure you can experience. Of course, you need to wet it with some local, good wines. You may add a mixed plateau of different dried meat, salamy, etc. Go on and enjoy it. You will remain with a bunch of pleasant memories.

Probably the best fondue in Geneva (also considering the price), and a great list of options to choose from. Staff always kind and cheerful.

The fondue here is great! First time I had fondue with potatoes as well and I’ll definitely be recreating that back home! Restaurant is really nice and has such a fun/ causal atmosphere. There was one woman serving all the tables and she was brilliant- always smiling and chatting with customers even though she was rushing to serve everyone. Super friendly!

Amazing fondue, amazing service, great atmosphere, and nice interior. Prices are typical for Geneva. Reservations are recommended but not necessary as there is a lot of tables. Portion size is ok for two people.

Went there tonight without a reservation and we were promptly seated by a very polite woman. I forgot to ask for her name, but she was the only one waiting the tables as the establishment is quite small. For those tourists worried about speaking french, she knew enough English to not only wait on us but to make some really great suggestions. We went for fondue and we weren't disappointed. Not only was the service incredibly wonderful, but the food was amazing as well. We ordered the fondue half and half which came with potatoes and bread, along with the cured meats board. For dessert we got the double cream meringue. Drinks we had two glasses of the melomane white wine and one glass of the pinot noir, both very tasty. Definitely suggest anyone looking for a traditional sitdown fondue experience to try this place. You won't be disappointed. And the woman waiting on us was very polite, patient, friendly and really made the whole experience complete.
