L'Esquisse Geneva

restaurant

L'Esquisse Geneva is a cool food spot in the lively Eaux-Vives area, close to the famous Jet d'eau. This place, with a 25-year history, is a favorite for people who love art and nightlife. In July 2020, Fabian Affentranger took over, known for his exciting pop-up ideas like Las Ramblas de Ginebra.

When you walk into L'Esquisse Geneva, it feels like the buzzing Brooklyn vibe. There's an old, stylish bar from the 1940s and a neat snake-shaped bench for cozy meals. It's perfect for special events.

But it's not all about the look. The food here is special. They use a cool cooking grill and oven to make amazing dishes like juicy meats and whole veggies. They stick to simple, top-quality stuff that tastes great.

Their wine collection is amazing too, filled with top Swiss wines and famous ones from places like Bordeaux and Italy.

L'Esquisse Geneva can also host all kinds of events, like company gatherings, weddings, and more. They can fit up to 60 people for a sit-down meal or 75 for parties with live cooking. There's also a private area for up to 30 people.

In short, L'Esquisse Geneva is a great place for tasty food, a lovely setting, and something special for food lovers who appreciate quality and tradition.
