Chez Bala in Vernier

Wonderful coffee and ambience but waitresses are on their own schedule so they show up when they decide to and bring drinks when they want to. I did try the first couple of visits to get their attention several times at the end with eye contact and a nod, then raised the hand halfway, put a 20 franc note on the check on the table until finally to their SHOCK and HORROR I put the ball in their court by deciding to GET UP & PAY at the counter. Now I don’t have any problems anymore because that is how I pay. Great, no more waiting an extra 15 to 20 minutes to pay at the end. I don’t mind it anymore now. I noticed that the locals frantically stop them in their tracks at the table upon delivery to pay on the spot before they go off again. Might try that one today… I speak perfect French because I lived there for many years. No excuses…

A wonderful evening, in a warm and atypical setting! We had the pleasure of tasting the wagyu beef charcoalade: what quality! Homemade fries (an ever rarer thing) and mixed salad as accompaniments. Perfect mocha flambé and half-and-half to round off this feast in style! Also note the kindness of the waiters, a very professional welcome and monitored parking. Class! I recommend 100%!

Congratulations to all of you. Good job 🤩

Nice setting and good food, sum to go for Easter and eat brunch, very good and very pleasant staff

There were 4 of us today and we have already eaten about ten times in this restaurant. The boss and lady are pretty nice. The food is good without anything to say but their services and especially the server today is just detestable. Looks like we're not welcome. If he is not capable of doing this job he just has to do something else. Not even the slightest smile, not even asked if we needed anything. The icing on the cake is that he swept the restaurant while we were eating! When we asked for coffee with the bill he asked us if we wanted Limoncello. We answered yes 3 times. At the end we receive the bill 3x8=24.- extra for Limoncello even though it was always offered before! After the complaint we were told: You had to ask if you had free Limoncello. Not even a refund or the slightest apology from the waiter or from the boss himself. For us this restaurant is over forever because of their simply unacceptable services.
