Just a few minutes from Geneva’s city centre, the Auberge-Restaurant 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 Geneva auberge
At the restaurant, the simplicity is only apparent: it conceals the chef’s meticulous work. Whether for a business lunch, a meal with friends, or for dinner, the auberge is open all year round. Its comfortable banquettes and its sublime terrace, shaded by a majestic magnolia, offer a unique setting to savour a timeless moment, facing the peaceful shores of the Léman (Lake Geneva).
The restaurant’s menu evolves with the seasons and the market’s arrivals, inspired by fresh produce: game and its accompaniments, mushrooms, scallops, and more. We also indulge in generous sharing dishes, based on the auberge’s great classics, enhanced with a touch of boldness. The must-haves are always available: perch fillets with Gitana butter, sea and lake bouillabaisse, superb cuts of meat to share, and crispy matchstick fries.
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.
Wine, a pleasure to be shared
At the restaurant, wine is a journey to be experienced and shared. With a cellar boasting over 600 references, we proudly highlight both Swiss terroirs and world vineyards. Each bottle is chosen for its authenticity, and our ever-evolving selection by the glass encourages discovery. We aim to offer a space where pleasure, exchange, and curiosity meet.

Fancy spending the night in Geneva,with your feet in the water?
After dinner at the restaurant, extend your evening by staying overnight right on the shore of Lake Geneva (Lac Léman). In the morning, wake up to a spectacular view of the lake and Mont-Blanc from your room or one of the inn’s terraces. Take advantage of this unique and peaceful setting before heading to Geneva, which is only a few minutes away.
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 bar at the Auberge Port-Gitana opens up like a port of call. Inspired by the interior of an old teak Lake Geneva (Léman) boat, it evokes a history already rooted in the premises. Calacatta marble meets a warm blend of wood tones, while select vintage objects lend a unique, almost narrative charm to the space as a whole, serving as a subtle tribute to the Léman’s past. Subtle and bold touches brighten the area: colourful designer pieces, chosen for their contemporary lines and energy, inject a joyful and quirky note while maintaining the elegance of the venue.
The drinks menu reveals a selection of great classics and Signature creations, crafted with premium spirits, homemade infusions, and local soft drinks. Enthusiasts of fine bottles are not left out: a sophisticated collection of highly-prized digestifs, old rums, rare whiskies, and exclusive brandies promises wonderful discoveries.
