Excellent lunch on a Saturday afternoon, far more civilised than the surrounding eateries

While we didn’t initially plan to go here, we definitely don’t regret it. It was probably the best service we had experienced so far in town, with fair prices (considering this is Switzerland) and great food with good presentation. Overall an amazing experience. Although there was suddenly a lunch rush and a lot of business looking people came (the restaurant eventually became full!) so it was a bit noisy, but it didn’t bother us too much, it is a restaurant after all! Great central location as well, and they seemed to have options to dine outside in the sunny weather if one wanted to :))

Always an institution for fish! The service is smiling and efficient but because there is a but with the tartare the quantity of fries was really poor (go 20 hrs maximum), be careful please!!! 37 chf per potato is worth gold to you? Go to Lipp to compare….

A known address mr. And where we go from time to time mr. But frankly with an addition of practically 400chf. We note that Paris Brest tastes like almonds rather than hazelnuts 🤦🏻♀️ We make the remark but nothing, no return… In short, a company that does business, it’s a shame not to listen…. They are more about tourist than native people….

It's not a restaurant, it's a factory. Very, very loud. Your neighbors' table is 10cm away. Hello privacy. The mussels were bland and no flavor for the modest sum of 33.00. On the other hand, the fries were good. Waited a very long time before being cleared and being able to order a coffee. It's more fun to set new tables for the next customers. Very bad experience

We went to dinner after the Revue, of which the Café du Center is a sponsor; we were going to go to Lipp’s, but we thought “why not? ", It's been a long time; and not for the 12% discount! Great evil has overtaken us. Once seated, we are told that it will be a live dish, it is not possible to have a starter and a main course to follow because the kitchen closes in 10 minutes! It was 10:30 p.m. and the restaurant is supposed to close at midnight. I make the remark to the waiter, who suddenly makes a face throughout the service. The food was ok but nothing great; wine, as long as it’s local, it’s fine. Foreigners are expensive. The tablecloth was dirty (really very dirty!) and the toilets, let's not talk about it! In short, for a restaurant I used to go to when I was a child, a huge disappointment! Average kitchen, lousy service and cleanliness. Of course it's not expensive, but cheap is always too expensive, as the adage goes. I will remain faithful to safer values, like the Lipp brewery for this type of establishment.

The worst experience of my life. Was traumatized for a long while even after the event. Swiss hospitality at its worst. Don’t sit you properly and give you worst seats and if you insist on a better table while is empty the waiter will take revenge. Never saw anything like this. It’s an obvious choice for tourists because of location which is central but the staff behaviors is beyond …selective and rude ….in another occasion even when we had reservation made us wait outside in freezing cold ! Never ever again ….

Hello to the entire Café du Center team! A superb setting! located in old Geneva, you feel good there. The waiter was pleasant, but not very smiling, which is a shame... The dishes are good, well seasoned, the quantity is well measured, the plates are well presented. We feel that it is tastefully prepared, worthy of dishes from a big city! However, the prices are above normal, but it's Geneva so you shouldn't panic too much. It's an expensive city. Wishing you a good day and see you soon in Geneva :-)

Background: We are Americans who have struggled to grasp the language, but ended up in Geneva for part of our honeymoon. We stopped here for lunch and left pleasantly surprised. Staff was very accommodating with the language barrier on our end, and portions were large by American standards. I’m a pretty non-adventurous eater and the braised pork shank was delicious - tender and the perfect flavor. I’m still thinking about it days later.

Good fresh food but let down by the service for getting the bill. Asked five times to four different waiters and took 30 minutes to get someone interested to pay by card. Not acceptable! Next time I will come and eat and leave the cash on table since the wait staff are poorly trained and management does not care about meeting basic standards. The food however is actually good, we only had raw seafood and it was very fresh and delicious. Not sure about cooked food. Didn't try unfortunately. Also their QR code link for English menu does not work, it's a broken link. We needed to Google their English menu 🙄

I recently dined at Cafe Du Center in the heart of Old Town, and it was a delightful experience. I ordered the king prawns dish, while my wife opted for the fillet. The food was excellent, beautifully presented, and the flavors were spot on. The location is ideal, with outdoor seating right in the middle of the charming square. Overall, a great dining experience, earning it a well-deserved 4 stars.

Today I had the worst and most unprofessional service ever. I was ignored and waited for service while customers who came after me were served. I had my hand up in the air and 2 staf members were serving the tables to my right and left and totally ignoring me. When I talked to the gentleman he said “your table is not in my service area” then he put his hand on me and pushed me. I still can’t believe that he put his hand on me and pushed me . Not acceptable, not professional, and simply rude and aggressive.

This Central de Geneve restaurant which should be one of the flagships of the city center is very disappointing, a tomato mozzarella which would not have gone out of place at McDonald's, a very ordinary and unambitious menu, a service which struggles to meet the challenge of a ordinary kitchen Can definitely do much better especially since the only tasty thing is the prices!

Open 7 days a week in Geneva… If you are looking for seafood that’s why you are reading this review. Look nowhere else and don’t waste time for another place in central Geneva. This is it… fruits off the sea with best service and cosy ambiance, you will go again and again. Lobster, crab, prawns, cod, sea bass, oysters and snails. Beef, burger and lot more… just go and try what eu you feel like. You can’t make a mistake. Service is amazing and good spacious restaurant. Enjoy .. don’t forget to say thank you to me😀

The waiter was rude and racist, by all means as soon as he understood I wasn’t speaking French he change his behaviour and came to the table just to take the order and then left, brought the food and didn’t even came back to ask how the food was. In fact I didn’t enjoy and was another waiter, Carlos, which I appreciate very much, to ask me why I left my food. Dessert time, I said we had already looked at the English menu and there was nothing else we wanted, he literally throw the menu in front of me at the table. As the tables were all outside and one near the other I could see that he kept approaching often tables with local people and careless of touristic ones. We paid the full bill and left, not felt welcomed at all! Not recommend!!
