La Reserve at last

Monsieur Gourmand and I will be eating at Le Loti this evening, La Reserve's very fancy French restaurant. A big piece of juicy cod might be on the menu...

The best tourist trap in town

You could be forgiven for thinking Le Léman is just another tourist trap serving up mediocre meals to non-foodie fools. After all, the lakefront location, the al fresco tables under a stripey awning, and the unspecialised menu of fondue, steak, pizza, and anything else that might take your fancy, all spell disaster.

 

So Monsieur Gourmand and I were quite surprised to find that the food is good and the service even better. Well, fancy that. 


On our two visits so far, we've sampled succulent asparagus tips, deliciously lemony veal escalope with a mountain of julienne vegetables on the side, fleshy filets de perche (fresh from the lake), a lightly decadent goat's cheese salad and creamy, winey cheese fondue.

Who knows? Maybe they do a dreadful pizza.
