Chez Philippe in Genève

In my top list of restaurants in Geneva, it’s always a pleasure to return.

Very good restaurant specializing in charcoal grilled meats, very well made starters such as the tuna and avocat tartare, an explosion of flavors in the mouth, foie gras. same level for meats in terms of taste. The surprise of the night was tasting an excellent fish ceviche, especially if the latter reminds you of your origins. I recommend all lovers of good gastronomy to visit this establishment that will know how to please the most demanding palates.

Really good so OK not really cheap but hey when the service and food are so nice you pay a price...... thanks great munch

I like my salad and my lobster soup They were delicious my steak is perfectly cooked ,very good atmosphere in the restaurant Buy my husband’s chicken were not cooked inside and the end we mentioned to them they told us that we should tell them at beginning …they could change… Yes,we should have said that at beginning but when beginning he were at part was cooked After we talked a lot and not pay attention too much for food It’s place close bone was not cooked the it was the end we found it Finally we were not really hungry I don’t like too much this experience

The meat was great. Prices full of ramen. Unfortunately I had to wait half an hour for a coke and they don't even know what Rivella is. Then the toilets are dirty and smelly. Overall, quite okay for Geneva.

One of the best meat restaurants in Geneva, I thank Axel for the service, nothing to complain about I recommend

I just have one word to go there, really nice experience, I had a view of the kitchen I saw all these magnificent dishes it made my mouth water🌝 nice setting, attentive waiters.

Just finished our meal. The food was really excellent, we had a lovely meal. However the service was terrible. Firstly, we were not warned that the fish would take at least 40 minutes to prepare, which was a serious error as we had a long wait, that wasn’t explained. Then when the wagyu was cut, the server cut 220g instead of 300g and proceeded to give us a slither of 80g to make up the difference, lucky for him we didn’t say anything. The servers were incapable of giving any advice, especially with the sauces. Lastly, the sommelier didn’t know anything about wine, he couldn’t make one suggestion, which when you see the price list is basic. In summary, fantastic quality food let down by terrible service. At 200chf per person, disappointing.

Excellent evening spent, side of beef at the top. The crepes suzette made minutes in front of us for dessert make the evening even more magical! I recommend 100% if you are in Geneva!

Great steaks, best ribs I've ever had the pleasure of eating. The restaurant looks very refined and of great quality. Will come back!

Restaurant with superb and original decor. Very good cuisine and very varied. To do....

A great place when it comes to meat! Good wine too. Maybe a bit too pricy but nice experience

I ate a magnificent Portuguese meat called minhota galega and magnificent crepes Suzette

this place was extremely beautiful. Not only was it beautiful but the food was spectacular.

The location and service are excellent. But I found that the dishes were overpriced for the quantity and taste. I should point out, however, that I did not take the meat, it might have been less disappointing.

Wonderful meal, bright setting, very pleasant and efficient staff, quality of products and top cooking Thanks to the entire kitchen brigade and wait staff

Very good meal, excellent welcome, we tasted a Caesar salad and a terrine of venison foie gras and chestnut with its little cranberry sauce, a delight, for main course: half a lobster, a marvel, and an extraordinary fillet on the bone and accompaniments to galore and what about the dessert of incredible chocolate profiteroles!!! I recommend to everyone!!! Thanks to the staff

Bar: We arrived 1 hour early, so we decided to stay at the bar and had cocktails and charcuteries. The charcuteries are not listed on the menu but you can ask the crew to prepare you one. 😉 cocktails were really good, well prepared. Very good presentation! Grill: The service staff welcomed us right away, they were really friendly and efficient. Foods were meticulously prepared and delicious, the filet is buttery tender, not watery and tasty. They also have a very fine wine selection. All worth the penny. Overall, a very classy restaurant but not intimidating. A must try, if you like steaks and wine! We will definitely go back again.

Although I found this place is recommended by others my experience was not good Staff were not dealing in a good way with customers - in another word the place manager tells to the client if you do not like why you seat!!! Leave the restaurant!!!! My order was not good - New York Strip and the meat was very hard Not Recommended at all ☹️

Worst staff Arrogant and rude They treat customers very bad The heater wasn’t working it took them over half an hour and three staff members to fix it Bread is just old and cold Food was nothing special But the place is nice

The restaurant is not recommended. Service was very bad. As if the waitress had just started working in the restaurant. Unfortunately the food was disappointing (T-Bone Angus) for 2 people. It's a shame if you've paid (a lot) and aren't even full at the end just because the waitress gave us the wrong advice. (The steak in the picture should be enough for 3 people according to the waitress.)

A warm welcome, thank you yasmina... A attentive sommelier, waiters always on the lookout, our glasses never remained empty, very good service, sumptuous cuisine... excellent lobster bisque, nickel pink rack of lamb... Too bad, very noisy atmosphere....very beautiful cellar. THANKS

Very pleasant family time accompanied by very good dishes in a magnificent setting.

The daily menu at 42 CHF was very good. We don't wait, the dishes come together naturally, at the right pace. The staff is friendly and attentive. A nice place.

Burger really not good, block of meat Cooking not respected for the 2 dishes... for a restaurant like this it's not normal. When we report the remark to the server, there is no response, total ignorance. Never again …

Disappointing if you like very good meat! Mine was nervous, the Paris café-style sauce was tasteless and I have eaten better fries in certain small bistros, which were included in the price of the dish! Nice atmosphere, staff too

So reception of certain servers just limited in the know-how and being very restricted menu and research and association of flavors not mastering broccoli tempoura no taste apart from that of broccoli and almonds meat beef from Ireland in insufficient quantity and without flavor and choice of accompaniments no research and no choice very simple sweet potato mash baked potatoes cottage cheese sauce that I can make at home Very disappointed value for money research and price Philippe should review everything in this other restaurant me that he l had great esteem for his career, his professionalism Former school and cycle friend and too proud of his future My regards to Philippe

This is absolutely AMAZING! Before I went, I read reviews about this restaurant and they weren't very good about the service, so don't believe it! The waiters are great , they know everything , starting with the choice of wine and ending with the food . You need to understand that you have come to a gourmet restaurant and , by definition, there can be no quick service here , because you have to get enough food and wine .

Very good appetizers and steaks. Terrific dessert but very poor service. The wait staff runs around like chickens without their heads on. Very disappointing at these prices

Came to celebrate a birthday, the service was catastrophic. Bland food nothing more. Excessive price for nothing.

Excellent food in the centre of Geneva. The sticky toffee pudding was the best we've tasted!

Best French restaurant in Geneva!🔥🔥

*Probably the worst costumer service I have received in Europe* We got sat to a table for two by a window with a really strong cold draft. When the server arrived to the table, nothing but a : »are you ready to order » (To be noted we both spoke French) Appetizers: Shrimp cocktail was great, tasty shrimps and the sauce was good also. The liver Paté was good but presentation was extremely basic, almost made to simply have it served fast. Main course: Filet with fries: the filet was plated very … lonely to say the least. Just a piece of meat in the middle of the plate , the garnish and sauce were placed on the table just beside. Rack of lamb: Similar basic presentation. Problem happened when, once ordered rare it came out well done. Not a single follow up was done to check on how the meals were. At the very end I ended up bringing it up to the server in a very simple way. He was extremely defensive, not a single apology. Another server came around to tell me that yes, they do not do table follow up but I should have gotten their attention. Considering how he reacted to a comment I wonder how he would have reacted if I would have asked to change the plate. Dessert: Chocolate mousse for two, toast was great but presentation once again was super basic, which was a turn off on the plate it self. Mistakes happen, and that is ok. How they are managed shows the integrity of the establishment.

Very beautiful restaurant that you wouldn't suspect from the outside. The meat is excellent, the side dishes original and the desserts succulent. The wine list is exceptional. A very nice address that invites you to come back.

Restaurant with New York decor. Pleasant service and quality meals.

I recommend Friendly staff and good food

The dishes were very good and well presented, unfortunately a small downside in the wait between each course. It is still an establishment that is worth the detour!

Good food. Good service. Pleasant environment.

Impeccable welcome, top service. The quality of the food is impeccable. Beautiful wine list. Including Alexandre Stauffer's Vin De l'A.

Poor quality service with few customers. Good hamburgers but poorly presented (burgers lost in the middle of the plate). Also requested without sauce because allergic to eggs and received the hamburger with egg sauce on the side!!!

The service is friendly and fast and the atmosphere in the restaurant is cozy and laid-back but still great for a business setting. The food was ok but nothing extraordinary.

I knew the food was good but it is much more than that, excellent experience

food is delicios here,especially the kobe beef. however, service need to be improved since no one smile in this restaurant. I give tips anyway.

This restaurant was highly recommended. We though were not overly impressed with our food. The lobster bisque was slightly burned and not well done. My fish was reasonably flavourless though cooked well. The desert however was very good. I wouldn't rush back.

Nestled in the heart of Geneva, Chez Philippe is a culinary gem that beckons food connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike. As an ardent lover of fine dining experiences, I recently had the pleasure of dining at this esteemed restaurant, and it left an indelible impression on my palate. Upon stepping into Chez Philippe, I was immediately captivated by its elegant and sophisticated ambiance. The dimly lit interior, adorned with tasteful decor, exuded an air of understated luxury. The attentive and knowledgeable staff greeted us warmly, setting the tone for a memorable experience ahead. Chez Philippe offers two distinct dining options: the main restaurant on the first floor, perfect for a romantic dinner, and the Bar restaurant on the ground floor, ideal for a quick business lunch. Regardless of the location, guests can expect the same impeccable quality and attention to detail from the kitchen. The culinary experience at Chez Philippe is nothing short of exceptional. Each dish is a testament to the chef's skill and creativity, with flavors that harmoniously blend together. The filet, cooked to perfection, showcased the chef's expertise in handling premium cuts of meat. Its tender texture and succulent juices were a delight to the senses, leaving a lasting impression.

Value for money: average Tough meat.

Great place for good quality lunch & dinner, popular with business people.

I ate at the bar, tables and high chairs. The menu at chf 42.- is a success. There are many choices. The burgers are good. Impeccable service.

Sensation that the goal of the servers is to kick you out as quickly as possible. Disappointing!

I'm mixed... Very good meats (still happy, given the prices). Good side dishes but ridiculous quantity. Excellent desserts (profiteroles) Efficient and friendly service. Overall, this remains far too expensive compared to other quality steakhouses, including in Geneva. It's expensive just to eat in a P. Chevrier restaurant.

Very good experience, superb dressings and pleasant waiters We recommend

Really excellent food, the welcome was good, we ate downstairs. Small downside, the music was a little loud during the meal.

Went there as family. Two things to complain; 1) Steaks were all burned on the outside. 2) one of the waiter dropped a clean knife on the floor. He put that back on the service table. And another waiter put that dirty knife into the clean knife drawer. I warned the manager, and he asked the waiter to take all knifes back to the kitchen, which i appreciate. Otherwise, few people would have eaten whatever dirt was on that floor. Still i am not sure if it was an unfortunate mistake or an attitude. Just be careful and watch the waiters! İf you go there.

Popular location with good service. Classic dishes and sometimes a little disappointing.

Hello, I came on Tuesday 06/20/23 to have lunch in your restaurant. During a service, a waiter accidentally spilled melted chocolate on my suit. He proactively offered to reimburse me for the dry cleaning which I appreciated. Following the sending of the invoice on 07/11/23, I was confirmed that payment would be made as soon as possible. To this day, I am awaiting payment of this invoice. Finally, I sent a new email on 10/19/23 which received no response. I particularly liked the initial reaction; proposing and not doing it is also disturbing. Regretting having to carry out the administrative follow-up on your behalf, I send you my cordial greetings.

Did not have high expectation on Switzerland’s food due to my preference to Asian fold. But this restaurant was definitely worth my review. Ordered the Pork, Veal, and Chocolate Mousse. All delicious. Staff were friendly as well. Would definitely come back if I have the chance.

Very pleasant moment, discreet service, cuisine full of flavor. Very nice discovery!

Excellent meat, perfectly cooked. Excellent cellar Even the side dishes are excellent (sweet potato and maple syrup... what a great idea) We will come back

Well, if you’re after a fancy vegan place with budget prices, this is probably going to be a wrong choice for your. But if you’re looking for a small menu of mainly meat and some fish dishes, this is THE place to go to in Geneva. A decent lunch will cost you approximately CHF 100 per person.

I always like to go back to this excellent restaurant. If you like the meat is a must. They have different cuts. Also the veggie are really tasty. Important wine list and nice service. Enjoy.

Great discovery in a pleasant setting 🤩

Good steak and awesome service. Foie gras was the best, must try. Michelin guide restaurant.

A restaurant on two levels, the ground floor with the brasserie and the upper floor with the semi-gastronomic part! The food and drinks as well as the service are quality. With a beautiful wine cellar, I have booked several times for birthdays! Always a nice moment.

Very nice place. Never disappointed. The food is good. And the desserts are just amazing. I love going there at lunch time for "plat du jour"

A magnificent place combining well-being and steak house, in a classy brasserie style, the food is simply magnificent, a little expensive for some people but the quality is there. I highly recommend for a magnificent meal with friends or families. I would happily return.

The prime rib and the T-bone are not worth their price. Indeed, we shared a side of beef for three (normally for 2) before planning some marrow bones (excellent) to calm our appetite. after 30 minutes of waiting, as indicated on the menu, the waiter brought us our prime rib, my friends and I looked at each other and immediately understood that this would not be enough. So after finishing our prime rib we decided to order a t-bone. Being a meat lover I immediately noticed that the meat was poorly cut and that they left a lot of meat on the bone which I had to cut out myself with a knife so the tip was crooked. Even with the T-bone we still weren't satisfied. So we decided to have some rather hearty desserts. Despite the slight problems I encountered, the food remains very good but BE CAREFUL, fingerprints on the cutlery make a very bad first impression!!!

food was excellent, service brought out incorrect drinks and incorrect sides. Smoking appears to be allowed.

I was there at a work event. Company took us to this place. The foog was really under average. Steak was dry, lobster soup cream was i think out of date. The biggest complain is about the wine. No matter they have a wonderfull winefridge, what they serve is simply below expectations. Sorry for say that, but the wine u served in that night, are like a 1-2 euro cost in hungary and greece./ bottle.... U should do this better, u shoudnt ruin ur fancyness by this things.

Very good cuisine. Impeccable service. The price is a little expensive but it may be a standard in Geneva, a city that I don't know much about

Overpriced hyped restaurant in a beautiful location in the centre of Geneva. Food is good without being exceptional but the service is the real problem. The “French” attitude and the nonchalance of the staff is just not acceptable when you pay CHF200+ per person. On a side note, the mousse au chocolat is outstanding

Delicious food, nice atmosphere, excellent service! Enjoyed our lunch.

Excellent restaurant in Geneva. The setting is superb, the terrace is really very pleasant and well decorated with plants. Regarding the food, everything is excellent. The butternut velouté starter is a very good way to start the meal. Then, the sirloin steak on the bone was perfectly cooked and went well with the different sauces (green pepper or even smoked paprika butter). The accompaniments are also delicious, including matchstick apples and roasted carrot with ginger. The staff is very friendly and available. Superb experience in this restaurant.

We would like to especially think Axel for his excellent services. He was very attentive to our needs and was always present when needed. He also made sure we really got what we needed at the right time interval. Very professional service.

Delicious meal and attentive service

Nice little restaurant. Well presented food. Steak was a bit over done for a premium restaurant. Maybe luck of the draw on the day.

Nice place. The food was good overall but the Swiss steak was fatty. The onion donuts were delicious. Great service

Quite disappointed for a three Michelin star. The tuna tartare was way too lemony. The pork was really too dry and the onion fritters took over the meats. There was too much spice. For the veal chop and the spinach puree as well as the lobster bisque, nothing to say, it was very good. I am also disappointed with the service, at the end of the meal when we said that the pork was too dry the waiter told us that we should have had a sauce but he should have offered it to us when ordering. After that the quality/price ratio is even more disappointing.

Very nice and affordable for a weekday lunch. Good quality place

Despite the beauty of the place and the very good service... we were disappointed by the meats (quality or preparation?), no tenderness, even rare, bland flavor... a real shame! For that price, we won't come back.

Fantastic service, though a bit pricey for us who are not working in the Rue du Rhône in Geneva 🙀

The staff are stepping on each other and we don't really know who to contact. We asked for another meat knife since it didn't cut...5 minutes passed before receiving it...with meat, in the meantime, which is cooling on the plate...If you have finished the wine but you haven't finished your plate, we take the glass away from you! And as soon as you have finished your plate, the plate will be taken away from you! Intolerable ! You have the impression that you are being pushed out... Really very unpleasant!

The service is of course excellent. The setting, we were on the terrace, very nice (not stuffy). Top quality meats. Gold medal with chocolate mousse (for 2).

First class restaurant in a beautiful Geneva's place. Nice wine collection.

Great place to have lunch or diner in Geneva downtown, at the grill! Great choice of food, efficient and friendly service, ask the terrace which has roof if too much sun or rain …

Absolutely divine meat. A steak at an affordable price and attentive staff. I really had a great evening. I will definitely come back

Paradise for meat lovers. The rib-eye is exquisite.

Beautiful arcade, staff were friendly and cocktails were lovely, but food could be better for the price point.

It is a very beautiful restaurant located in downtown Geneva. The menu comes with premium choices. The cocktails and desserts were really different. Everything was very good but I found the price of some products a little high. Otherwise, nothing to complain about because the service was also impeccable.

For lovers of delicious food, the restaurant is 10/10

The food is lovely just make sure you have a reservation because it's super busy, that is why I gave 4 starts instead of 5 for the service, sometimes it takes longer that usual to get refills of wine. But it has very delicious food, funky deserts and lovely ambiance that is not super crowded small spaces.

Underwhelming steaks and terrible service

Careful service. Delicious dish (rack of lamb) A little long wait, but nothing excessive. To redo

A pleasant setting with a friendly waitress. The toilets are clean.

Delicious food, super good service, a very nice and cozy place.

The restaurant is magnificent with the glass roof, the dishes are very good

Very good table… top service and very friendly…. Eric’s crepes Suzette are absolutely fabulous. In a word, an essential address.

So delicious that I came here to eat it two days in a row❤️

Magnificent restaurant. Very well placed in Geneva. impeccable service. But the prices are exorbitant.

I loved everything about this restaurant, top!

I came with my brother and his friends, we had a great time. Very good quality dishes. The service was very good. The Swiss sommelier who took care of us was really excellent, we took the wine: 8 Gamay Merlot from the Cave de la Rose d'Or, a very nice discovery, I hope she will recognize herself when reading the comment.
