Just a few minutes from Geneva’s city centre, the Brasserie-Bar at the Port-Gitana boutique hotel invites you to take your time and savour the moment. Freshness and seasonality are the order of the day. The Brasserie offers authentic cuisine, where classic dishes are skilfully revisited using high-quality local produce. An eclectic and carefully curated wine cellar completes the experience.
A Lakeside Brasserie
At the Brasserie, simplicity is only apparent: it conceals the meticulous work of Chef Romain Maillot. Whether for a business lunch, a meal with friends, or dinner, the Brasserie is open year-round. Its comfortable banquettes and beautiful terrace shaded by a majestic magnolia provide a unique setting to enjoy a timeless moment overlooking the peaceful shores of Lake Geneva.
Through sincere and skillfully crafted cuisine, fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients take center stage. Brasserie classics are subtly and modernly reinvented. The menu celebrates the essentials of Geneva’s culinary tradition, in harmony with the brasserie spirit: lake perch fillets (subject to availability), poultry with crayfish and yellow wine, lake-style bouillabaisse, fine cuts of meat to share… not to mention an exceptional burger, generous salads, and a cheese platter served directly at your table.
On the sweet side, the dessert trolley features a reinvented double cream meringue, artisanal Italian-style ice creams, and Signature creations—including Tout Chocolat, the group’s iconic pastry.
An eclectic and passionate wine cellar
To accompany this moment, the wine list offers a superb selection that is as eclectic as it is passionate. With over 600 wines, it features Swiss treasures, rare finds and renowned classics acclaimed by connoisseurs. And to extend the pleasure, this wine list is also available in your room—the perfect opportunity to enjoy an aperitif on the balcony, facing the soothing view of the lake.
A bar like a stopover on Lake Geneva
A must-visit spot at our hotel-restaurant in Geneva, the bar invites you to enjoy special moments overlooking the lake. Whether for a refined aperitif, a leisurely dinner or a final drink in an elegant setting, our team welcomes you in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
The Brasserie de Port-Gitana bar is the perfect stopover. Inspired by the interior of an old teak Lake Geneva boat, it evokes a history that is already deeply rooted in the place. Calacatta marble meets warm wood tones, while a few carefully selected vintage objects add a unique, almost narrative charm to the setting—a discreet tribute to Lake Geneva’s past. Subtle yet bold touches brighten up the space: colourful designer pieces, chosen for their contemporary lines and energy, add a joyful and offbeat note, while respecting the venue’s elegance.
The drinks menu features a selection of classic cocktails and Signature creations, made with premium spirits, homemade infusions and local soft drinks. Lovers of fine bottles will also be delighted: a carefully curated collection of highly sought-after digestifs, aged rums, rare whiskies and exclusive eaux-de-vie promises some wonderful discoveries.
