This way, you’ll be at your hotel faster, can unpack your cases and start enjoying all the fabulous things this city has to offer without wasting any time. Food, Glorious Food I know, the song comes from the Musical “Oliver!”, which isn’t about good food. But in all seriousness, it’s the perfect way to describe Geneva’s culinary scene. As the home to many international organisations (the UN, Red Cross and more), people from almost every country in the world either live here or are regular visitors. This has resulted in the city’s already excellent culinary reputation growing by leaps and bounds as more and more restaurants and coffee shops open to cater for the many different culinary tastes. And it’s not just ethnic foods; you can also find plenty of fusion restaurants where world class chefs create their own culinary works of art based on foods from around the globe. Here are just a few examples for you to try. Culture and Coffee As its name suggests, Les Recyclables is all about using things again. In this case, it’s books – sit down for a creamy cup of coffee, a delicious pastry or lunchtime meal and browse through the large selection of second hand books that are for sale. If you’re there in the evening, you may even enjoy a band, lectures, literary evening and much more.
