Typical dishes from Geneva that you must try
Before I start to tell you the name of each restaurant and their specialties for you to try, I need to tell you at least what are the 5 typical Swiss foods that you can also look for in restaurants when looking at the menu. However, it is important to mention that these foods are present throughout the country.
- Swiss Fondue: A typical winter dish, fondue is made with melted cheese and is served with bread for dipping. It is usually accompanied by white wine and is a great option to share with friends or family.
- Raclette: Another cheese dish typical of Switzerland, raclette is served hot and is made with melted cheese and is usually accompanied by potatoes and onions.
- hash browns: This is a typical Swiss dish made with grated and fried potatoes. It is usually served as an accompaniment to meat or fish.
- Geneva sausage: This is a typical Geneva sausage made with pork, onion and spices. It is usually served with potatoes and sauerkraut.
- Swiss chocolate: I don't think I even needed to put this here, right? Of course, Swiss chocolate will be one of the items you'll want to try the most. It is worth it!
Take the opportunity to do one of these three tours below and intersperse with a plate of delicious food that I also recommend below!

So your first choice of where to eat in Geneva is off to a good start. Here's a very good cappuccino with oat milk. The space is very cute and you can work with your computer there (which we as nomads love). If you want to eat something open-faced sandwich with potatoes and bacon it's pretty good.
