Marmite du Pêcher

4.0

at Café du Centre

-Place du Molard, Geneva-

solo

Mission to HQ, Day 4 (see previously 9.052 La Fondue Suississime).

In Geneva.  Here to attend an Inception Meeting on a Global Programme for Building Legal Capacity to Address Unhealthy Diet – Wednesday to Thursday.  Came in a couple days early, just to hang out in the city.

Café du Centre is a Swiss restaurant.  Founded in 1933 – landmark institution.  Reflecting its historical location in what was the city’s central port and fish market up through the 19th century – molard = pier – the menu is exclusively sea food.

Been wanting to try this place since my very first visit to Geneva.

Les Huîtres (3.5): oysters on the half-shell.

Homard et Crevettes Rötis à la Minute, Risotto aux Herbes Pommes Sauce Américaine (3.5): lobster and prawns risotto, shell fish sauce – exquisite flavors …

… though I still don’t dig risotto al dente.

Le Beurre à la Maison (3.5): whipped seasoned butter.

Avec crevette, loup de mer, saumon, cabillaud, moules, et coquillages.

The food was awesome across the board.  Perfectly fresh.  Perfectly cooked.  Perfectly seasoned.  I may have found my favorite restaurant in Geneva.

(Conveniently, it’s located just 270 m from the Prada store.)
