Arakel in Genève

Relaxed atmosphere, for refined cuisine.. Thank you for this wonderful moment! What a beautiful flight!

Incredible culinary experience congratulations to the chef and the whole team… cuisine, service and sommelier ⭐️

What a wonderful evening we had! The welcome is relaxed, the service excellent and the 6-course menu is quite simply a treat for the taste buds and the eyes. THANKS !

We made a very nice discovery. I went to eat with my girlfriend in the new Arakel restaurant in Eaux-Vives. We were surprised by a succulent surprise menu which was both plentiful and tasty. Exceptional service with a warm and family atmosphere. The Geoffrey's wine selection enhances this pleasant tasting. As a bonus, the kitchen open to the chef is a real experience. New gem in town not to be missed! :)

Superb experience in Arakel, with a very nice wine list. The dishes are small portions to share, very interesting in terms of flavors' associations. The service is greatly sympathetic and relaxed. The diversity of the wines offered leaves you a wide choice between excellent small vineyards and great vintages. For lovers who want to have fun they make the Krug at the cut as well as Yquem by the glass (perfect to accompany the cheese;)

Its really a lovely place with amazing wines and great food. I just wish that the atmosphere was a bit more festive, as it was written.

Probably one of the best, not to say the best wine list of Geneva! Great staff as well.

Very very nice discovery, perfect in every way. Thank you for the welcome and the taste journey.

We went for our date night. Amazing experience. Staff super nice and pleasant to talk to, very knowledgeable too! The dynamic between the 2 people hosting/serving, the amount of knowledge, memory, stories to share - very relax and friendly atmosphere, but not overwhelming, they really know what they’re doing. We were very well impressed. Food was delicious and super pretty presentation - we usually don’t but we actually felt that we had to take a picture of our food as each plate was like a work of art. Wine list is big and very good selections. We will definitely come back again and we will be recommending this lovely restaurant to our friends (and maybe bringing work colleagues or clients too when the occasion shows up as staff quality, decor of restaurant, food quality and presentation are to high standard!) Thank you for the great experience :)

The dishes were good despite the wait but the portions were quite small!!!

Amazing wine bar, super friendly staff also English speaking and so kind, attentive and generous. Thank you very much! See you soon again

A very nice evening. Creative cuisine full of freshness while remaining true to taste. And a very professional service while being relaxed. Already looking forward to going back!

An expensive but fantastically delicious place. The portions aren't very big but they do make up for it in taste. The menu changes by season so your selection may vary but the quality seems consistent.

A real pleasure to have dined at Arakel! From the atmosphere, to the service, to the choice of wine and the undeniable quality of the dishes, we are already looking forward to returning!

If there is one place you will be well received, it is here. An incredible cellar and wise advice. A menu that changes often and is always fantastic, original and authentic. Quality products enhanced by delicate and colorful cooking and presentations. Tastes, textures, temperatures, everything is controlled. A service worthy of the greatest houses in all simplicity.

The staff is so professional and kind. The food is next level. Really amazing.

A top-notch culinary and taste experience. Special mention also to the director who speaks of his dishes and wines like a poet. To recommend with eyes closed !

An exceptional place, with a choice of wines and excellent food. We had a perfect evening there!

Excellent food! Very friendly service

Great discovery. Very pleasant and attentive service. Very good wines and sketchy dishes. Don't hesitate to open the door, you won't be disappointed.

“An extraordinary dining experience!” If you are looking for a place where you will feel at home with a wine list worthy of the greatest restaurants and palaces while traveling through the cuisine of chef Armando, Arakel is the place to go! You will be welcomed by the good humor of Arakel, the owner of the establishment, then you will let yourself be guided by the very specific advice of Julien, former sommelier in the Monaco metropolis, for the choice of wine, before living the culinary experience offered by the very talented chef Armando former chef at the Four Seasons. For champagne lovers, a must stop by the Krug Bar to kick off the evening. The atmosphere is very cozy “like at home” as the team will tell you! You will fall for the Baby Kebab!

MAGNIFICENT experience, attentive service and lots of good advice, taking care of you for a wonderful evening. we loved the place and the concept. the wine list is worthy of a great restaurant! We'll come back, it was great! thank you to Julien for his welcome and his magnificent wine advice and to the chef for his beautiful flavors.

Coming to Arakel was an experience, an extraordinary evening. A modern, gourmet and above all very intelligent cuisine executed with delicacy and refinement by the Italian chef, originally from Tuscany (which will make your mouth water...) a blend in perfect harmony and perfectly executed also by an excellent chef sommelier (Julien) ready to accompany us and advise us during our evening. Coming to Arakel means being ready (and close) to perfect food and wine pairings...thanks to the team!

Best place in Geneva if you wanna spend your money for the greatest wine cellar downtown and high quality food. Staff are very nice & professional . I would return again for sure!

I have already been twice at this place. They have nice wine and food, obviously pricey, but I assume these are the prices in Geneva. However, I went last Saturday night after 22:30 and asked to have a drink. To my surprise I was refused. There were empty tables inside and outside and were not reserved. The reason I was given was that they were still serving food. I’m sorry, but I usually get refused to have dinner at that time, as the kitchen closes at 22:00. Was maybe the real reason that I wouldn’t spend a fortune? For this arrogant and bad attitude I won’t return to this place. There are a lot more places with nicer staff.

Nice experience. Good food and service. We will be back again as soon the menu will change to taste a new flavour.

We came on a Saturday evening for dinner and were pleasantly surprised. The service is impeccable and the servers are really very kind and give good advice, they do their job with passion and it shows. Regarding the meal, it was just incredible!!! Everything is refined, with great taste. The value for money level is also very reasonable. We really had the impression of being in a Michelin-starred restaurant but with very affordable prices. I recommend with my eyes closed

New tapas bar in Geneva at Eaux Vives.. Very pretty setting, with a very beautiful and surprising wine list, with excellent cuisine for a very affordable price for Geneva! I highly recommend for a little moment of pleasure around a good glass of wine!!

Magnificent...🤩🤩🤩 Various grandiose flavors that your taste buds will love!!!! The presentation of each dish is prepared with a lot of taste & with the heart of a...Super Chef!!! The service... lovely, attentive people who find you the best wines. A thousand thanks for this delicious moment spent last night with family (Léa, my Darling & me💖🤩🥰😄) Only the Best!!!!

Very good, food & wine was great. Service even better. Recommended

Very nice place to eat for a little dinner for two, good dishes to share (or not 😋), very welcoming, talented chef both tastefully and visually. A real pleasure 😊

I have been trying to contact the owner for some time... maybe he will answer me here? I need an answer...

A very nice address that I highly recommend! The wine list and service are incredible 👍

Great wine that is enhance with a great service!

Thank you very much to Julien, a great sommelier who gave us magnificent advice on their wines. Very nice atmosphere, excellent products, very good presentation of the dishes, I recommend!

Magnificent choice of wines and warm welcome for a perfect evening!

Very nice bar with a warm welcome and top service. The dishes are succulent and wine lovers have something to please themselves because the menu offers a wide choice of exceptional wines! Some will find the prices a little expensive perhaps but it's Geneva ;)

Really great, great wine lists, excellent food.

What a pleasant time, Araquel gives good advice, he offers quality, tasty and delicious products. So careful, we highly recommend this bar!!!

Excellent wine bar with a choice of high quality tapas. Huge choice of wines. The selected products are excellent. We see that the owner likes to please. This is felt in the welcome and service. Thanks for now.

Very nice wine bar. Welcoming staff despite the late hour and low attendance. The place is new and apparently works very well at aperitif time in the opinion of the person who served us. The wine cellar is surely worth exploring, which we haven't had time to do yet.

Great wine list, best of Geneva really.

Superior in every point of view if we compare the two which are at 23 Blanvalet
