“ It's a nice place, sat on the terrace (which is lovely)but in my opinion, it's chaos! The idea of having multiple concepts (8+) in such a setting is not ideal as it requires more space to do so. Variety of concepts is nice, food is ok... I will add more pictures next time I visit ”
“ Great space with so many choices for food, including vegan options, that you would normally not find in Geneva all in one place like a food court! Great initiative and my favourite migrant women empowerment startup Nik's Fudo is also there, so it's a win win. ”
“ It is a very, very beautiful place with a great ambience, at least at the beginning. With the hours progressing, the music (good one) gets louder and louder and the service less and less attentive. At the end we had to actively look for the waitress in order to be able to pay after 20 minutes of waiting for the bill. Food has a good price-quality relationship ”
“ Nice place to rest in the city center of Geneva. The place is located in the middle of a river with a great terrace to relax. ”
