Taverne de la Madeleine in Genève

Cool terrace, period interior, impeccable and friendly service.

Spending my holiday in Geneve and my mother recommended to visit this tavern since she used to work there as a waitress over 50 years ago. My salad was perfect and restaurant had nice atmosphere. The waiters were friendly and I received my order fast even though the restaurant was quite full. I would definitely recommend this place.

Little stop by chance in this restaurant which also has a particularity, it does not serve alcohol (haha). I let myself be tempted by the very good Mocktails! The service was warm. I had a salad which was good but I found an eggshell in it :/ It happens so I didn't report it especially since my friends were satisfied with their dish.

Muy bueno. No sirven alcohol. Very good. They don’t serve alcoholic drinks.

A small pretty place with a regular service and plates. Enjoy the walk around and the scenary.

We had lunch at noon; the apple juice very good, the Rostis excellent, the service perfect! A real nice surprise. The history of the restaurant is all the more interesting. We will definitely come back there for a future trip!

It's always a pleasure to have a dish of the day and enjoy it here in this place steeped in history. Do not miss

Top restaurant, excellent cuisine Smiling and pleasant waitress, attentive 😎😎 Perfect team Very well received by Sabrina

The terrace is nice and I like the alcohol-free principle

Restaurant with very friendly staff, the rostis are incredible, the best in Switzerland, I recommend this restaurant 100%, even if it means taking a detour, go there!!!! ;)

I liked the setting, the friendliness of the employees and the chef's cuisine. The hot apple juice with spices ended the meal well.

very good dish of the day, in this case it was delicious beef ribs!!

Very nice looking from outside, unfortunately we were unable to visit it since they do not work on Sundays. Located in a nice area, right beaide the church.

Perfect. Quality traditional cuisine. Too bad it’s closed on weekends 😥

Slow service, food average at best

Very positive experience in this tavern. Warm and welcoming environment and really friendly staff. They helped us choose typical dishes which I must say did not disappoint us at all. We will definitely be back

Typically local tavern, local food with regular customers, characteristic

Simple restaurant but of very good quality. Friendly staff, all in a historic and lively neighborhood. Obligatory detour!

Beautiful and nice location with a warm atmosphere. You can try daily menu. Portion of the plates are quite ok and taste is nice.

The dishes are delicious 👍👍👍 a real treat

Nice visit, very interesting, they make stained glass windows there and they sell magnificent ones... it's worth going there... very beautiful pieces and you can see how they make them... but it's on the 2nd floor... and they welcome you warmly...

Very good, very reasonable prices, very cozy atmosphere

Waiting time too long just to take the order...

Superb plate and very warm welcome

Very welcoming, excellent cuisine

Warm, welcoming. Very good and simple at the same time.

Very good establishment offering simple and refined daily specials.

Attentive service and dishes at reasonable prices. Nice terrace. To do for a little moment of relaxation without alcohol.

Welcoming place and masterful dishes

Simple, fast, choice, institution in Geneva and prices maintained...

Good place to enjoy a coffee and croissant. Quiet but still close to main shopping street. Fast and efficient service

A simple menu and delicious, no-fuss cuisine for a place firmly anchored in Geneva. Never disappointed!

Simple restaurant nestled in the old town. Ideal for a hearty and quick meal.

Very charming, very warm welcome and the food is good.

Alcohol-free restaurant, magnificent gastronomy, breakfast, central location next to the old town, route, cheap, etc.

Very warm coffee without alcohol

Friendly staff and good omelets.

Typical Swiss restaurant, serving food since the 15th century. Staff is helpful and proud of this Taverne

One of the best and most beautiful restaurants in Geneva

Very good quality/price to be in the center. Among the surrounding restaurants it is the best. Very delicious burgers and poke bowls

I take a combo cafe + croasaint, then I ask for some milk. They don't say anything and change my order. I have to pay 2€ more. When I complain the owner say I'm sorry.

The place is well located and quiet. The dishes are prepared meticulously and are delicious and beautiful to behold. Good value for money

Very good meals and pleasant service. Be careful no alcohol here.

Super nice breakfasts and excellent homemade pies!

The food looks amazing and taste surprisingly good! We are very pleased with the beef tongue and pork skewer! 18/19 CHF daily special is a really good deal. I would highly recommend :)

Good welcome, the staff is friendly and the prices are fair.

Alcohol-free restaurant. Very good cuisine, menu to choose from. A deli apple juice 🍎 from the region in a carafe is served to you. On each of my visits I was able to appreciate the quality and variation of the menus. Very friendly staff. Menu variations for people with allergies or intolerances, to be specified as soon as your menu is chosen. I return there every time with great pleasure.

Can't speak English very well but the food is good. Ordering still worked well

Very very good experience, ham on the bone super good, nothing to say, hats off to the whole team 😘

The meal taste was lower than average. A burnt and too salty pizza was brought. Could not eat it. Meanwhile our comment about it was accepted by a waitress with a total silence and disregard. Will not return there.

For those looking for a simple, honest and good dining experience in Geneva, this might be your place. In the midst of the riches and the overpriced mediocre food, a little tavern where you can have your "Plat du Jour" for 18CHF and it will include a salad as well. My "down to earth" lunch usual in the center of Geneva

Good food, shame you're in such a hurry

This place was fantastic,no fuss or bother. Just great home cooked food. I had the rosti with pork,gruyere cheese and a fried egg. It was the special of the day and I got the last one,served with a dressed green salad and a cold drink for 25 Swiss francs. It was superb!

A place in its own right, you eat well and for cheap

I prefer conforming to protesting

Simple, nice place. Good dishes, good pies. No alcohol

Small, friendly place at the entrance to the old town. Good service in a setting that will give you the energy to make the climb to the old town. Normal prices for Geneva!! Come and quench your thirst at the foot of Geneva's old town before setting out to discover it!! A la carte catering or daily specials and drinks service during non-meal hours. This place will always be open and ready to welcome you!! See you soon!!😉😁

No alcohol served, food and prices are ok, not fancy, fine place for a quick lunch

It's a very good restaurant at the foot of the old town I really like going there it's an alcohol-free restaurant people meet there to eat cake to drink coffee to play board games in the afternoon it's a restaurant that is full at lunchtime, super friendly staff

A Geneva institution! Traditional dishes and very good service!

Friendly staff, great location, tasty food.

Nice restaurant for a resonable priced meal, they are fast and have a nice selection of both drinks and food.

Not terrible welcome from employees

Nice place, pleasant terrace, simple and not too expensive dishes

Everything fine except the place is built for small people (I’m 1.85m). I always had to be cautious to not hit my head when walking through the different parts of the restaurant.

Congratulations to this restaurant for sponsoring a Rubik's Cube competition in Geneva. Everything was well organized. Subtly, the young organizer of the event, Maxime, gave a white glove slap to the commune who did a very bad job when providing a room for the event at a price of gold at first and retreated in an unprofessional gesture at a second moment, even returning the money he had already received for renting a space to hold the international recognition competition.

Definitely my favorite restaurant in downtown Geneva. The setting has retained its old-world charm and the cuisine is meticulous at very affordable prices. The service is always very attentive, efficient and smiling. Beautiful terrace on the pedestrian zone in summer. Please note: it is alcohol-free. Only regret: it's not open in the evening...

Good food, several menus to choose from, hot and copious plates for the price in Geneva. Alcohol-free.

Not much to rate here. We stopped for a quick coffee and pie to find it disappointing. The lemon pie was extremely sour.

Please note, they do not serve alcoholic drinks. But we eat good röstis there! 😀

Total dives into a historic place in its own juice in the belly of Geneva.

Excellent place to eat. Good dishes, abundant and one of the most economical. They do not sell alcoholic beverages

Quick service, traditional Swiss food (croute au fromage), not too expensive. The restaurant does not serve alcohol.

Pretty good spot for a quick bite or a nice drink ! Menu is okay and so are the prices. Nice place to hang out but can be busy.

Cheap and good. New dishes every day. Nice people.

Simple but good, all at affordable prices.

In this establishment, whose motto is "Alcoholic-free restaurant since 1920", you can try a correct fillet of Lake Geneva perch a la menière.

Good, homely food at very reasonable prices. This place gets crowded, especially at lunch time, but the service is nevertheless reasonably fast. Friendly staff.

Restaurant not offering alcoholic drinks... It doesn't matter, I don't drink. The food menu is complete.

Simple but good food. Alcohol-free restaurant.

The restaurant doesn't look like much: it's a bit "café" but it's well placed and the prices (as well as an overview of all the numerous dishes on offer) made us want to go in and try it. It was a great decision! The +: VERY ATTENTIVE AND FRIENDLY STAFF AFFORDABLE PRICES AND above all... We ate VERY WELL! I ordered a dish of the day with onglet, homemade potatoes and herbed tomatoes... I got the meat accompanied by basic fries and no tomatoes (I don't know if it's because they don't had more...) but I didn't complain because the quantity was there and the meat was great! One -: the paper placemats stink of chemicals, it bothered me a little while eating. -the fries are not homemade... Please note: ALCOHOL is NOT served IN THIS RESTAURANT due to the fight against alcoholism!
