Les Recyclables is a restaurant, a bookstore and place for concerts.

I usually go there for dinner when there is a concert going on as it’s mostly Central or South American musicians, which I love.

The menu is usually simple, which not too many options as they use fresh products from the season. But it’s always healthy and there is always a vegetarian option.

I don’t really use the bookstore but I find the concept great, I think we should have more places like this in Geneva: enjoy a coffee while choosing a book! They have quite a large amount of second-hand books to choose from.

They are all about fair-trade and sustainable development, which is another reason to hang out there and support them. They also exchange your old books for others, or for a coffee/cake at the café. It’s what they call ‘cultural recycling’, which I personally find fantastic.
