Our first time in Geneva, Switzerland, and we are super hungry, so we’re planning to indulge in some delicious, big meals. The restaurant we’re heading to is Brasserie Lipp Genève, which has been around since 1986 and is a true gem of French cuisine.
The atmosphere is warm and elegant. A big bottle of Evian or sparkling water costs 12.50 Swiss franc, so you might as well order a jug of beer instead.
The bread is freshly baked daily and is free, plus you can ask for some butter. While enjoying the beer, take a look at the menu; dining out in Geneva can be pricey, especially for quality food.
Brasserie Lipp in Geneva tends to be on the pricier side due to its iconic status, historical Parisian connections, prime location, and the high-quality, classic brasserie experience it provides. The overall elevated cost of living and dining in Geneva, Switzerland, also contributes to the premium prices for a refined, traditional meal.
We've ordered 3 different types of fresh oysters as a cold starter.
1) Gillardeau 7.20 Swiss franc
It's famous for their exceptional quality, rich, sweet flavour, plump texture, and distinctive laser-engraved "G".
2) Ostra Regal 6.90 Swiss franc
It's nutrient-rich waters of Bannow Bay, Ireland, known for their distinctive, crisp texture, sweet finish.
3) Boudeuse 4.60 Swiss franc
It's round, slow-growing French oyster from the Marennes-Oléron region, known for its surprisingly sweet, crisp flesh, rich flavor, and firm texture hidden inside a small shell.
After we finished our starter, it wasn't long before our main dishes arrived all at once, and they stayed nice and hot until the end.
We were super satisfied with these delicious, huge meals.
We had a massive portion of Veal chop Milanaise for 55.70 Swiss franc and Choucroute de la mer for 49.99 Swiss franc, plus an extra 1 for bacon at 3 Swiss franc and a side of rice for 7 Swiss franc.
Two people enjoying a big, tasty meal cost us 153.60 Swiss franc.
Be cautious, the main dishes as this is an exceptionally large portion.
December is the month of Christmas, when everywhere is beautifully decorated, fostering a festive holiday spirit. We are eager to explore Geneva's Christmas Market: charming stalls, delicious food, sparkling lights, interactive activities, and all the components of a wonderful holiday experience.
Geneva Christmas market is referred to as NOEL AU QUAI.
Also in Geneva, French is the main language spoken.
In Zurich, Switzerland, most of the population speaks Swiss German (Schwiizerdütsch), a dialect of German.
I enjoy walking and discovering new sights, particularly during this holiday season. The Christmas spirit is everywhere, and it feels wonderful.
We extend our warmest wishes for a very merry Christmas and hope for a healthy, happy, and peaceful new year for everyone. May our lives remain filled with joy and happiness, and we wish you a joyful and merry Christmas as well!
