Eaux-Vives – Local tips (shopping)

L’Adresse is a nice restaurant, which became quite fashionable. It is divided into two parts: a shop where you can find nice clothes and a restaurant and is located in the Eaux-Vives, near the lake.

During the summer, there is a nice terrace outside, which is on the rooftop.

At lunch, you will be able to see the shop; at night it’s closed. The food is quite expensive but it is a great place to go especially at lunch, since the plat du jour is less than CHF 20.-.

They have very original meals and very good bottles of wine. The carpaccio is excellent and the pastas definitely have to be tasted!

Les halles de Rive are a great place to buy food. It is a little expensive, but the prices equal the quality.

It is located at the beginning of les rues basses at Rive where everyone goes for shopping. It is divided in several stands, where you can either buy meat, sushi (really cheap ones that you can take away), fish, Asian food, cheese, wine, vegetables, flowers, cake shop and a bar as well.

At lunch, people who work nearby go there to get a good meal and eat it by the lake (during summer) or in the English Garden.

People are always nice and helpful, and on Saturday morning, it is usually full of people, because the market takes place next to it. You will definitely be hungry while entering it!
