Chez Ma Cousine is right below the Place du Bourg de Four and is a really nice restaurant. If you like chicken of course, because this is their specialty. You can either choose it in a salad or hot. The menu isn’t very extensive, but people usually go to Chez Ma Cousine because it is a cheap and good restaurant in the center of the city, and it is as well a great alternative to the Mac Donald’s. And of course, healthier:-)! At lunch, it is usually crowded by working people who eat their meal on the little terrace or pick it up and eat it in a little park nearby. Otherwise, people hanging out with friends or couples having a great time together can be seen. There are not a lot of tables in the front, but a lovely little extra room at the back of the restaurant will welcome you if you are a group of friends. You can find this restaurant in two other areas in Geneva (on the right side of the city called St-Gervais, down the train station and in le Petit Saconnex). The portions are very generous and you will definitely feel full afterwards. Afterwards you can hang out in the old town and have a drink in La Clemence (check the La Clemence article), La Demi-Lune (check the La Demi-Lune article) or other bars in the pedestrian streets.

I love these places, we take our kids to the one in Petit Saconnex pretty often. It’s easy eating, and you don’t have to clear up after the kids. I posted more of my thoughts about Chez Ma Cousine on my blog http://bit.ly/1GVA1203
I ate here last night with a group of 5. We were warmly greeted and promptly seated at a table in the back. The restaurant is homey and the food is plain but delicious, plentiful and served fresh and hot. The roast chicken appears to be the favorite by far and we 5 all ordered it. It was delivered on a large platter with lovely potatoes and a large bowl of salad. All this for a mere 14 CHF per person. A true bargain in this city! I thought it was charming, comfortable and would recommend it to anyone, not just those on a tight budget.
