Kirin

Fine Dining Restaurants

La Coupole
A long-established landmark in Geneva's centre, La Coupole is an old-fashioned delight. Their filets de perche with lemony sauce are amazing, while the skinny chips are to die for. Try the sinful desserts, which are well worth the indulgence and a fine finale to a typically Swiss meal.

Chez Kei
Geneva's well-to-do residents have been feasting on duck and dumplings at this restaurant for decades. As well as the delicious Chinese classics, fine wines and attentive service, Chez Kei is memorable for the exotic birds carved out of carrots and its mesmerising fish tank.
