P’tit Bar: “Colorful place to have lunch”

This little bar is a colorful place with some healthy lunch options, fresh pressed juices and a nice tea selection. The vibe is friendly and relaxed and there are toys for the children to play with.

I tried the fresh apple juice with ginger and ordered a salad with tomatoes, olives and apple (the moroccan carrots where not availabel), accompanied by a tartine of artichoke. The salad was kind of small, but tasty.

In general this place has an alternative feel to it.

Vapiano: “A concept well executed”

Vapiano Geneva is part of a chain of restaurants. Normally, I’m not a big fan of those type of restaurants, but I have to be honest: Vapiano was a pleasant surprise. The restaurant is located in the heart of Geneva and has a pleasant and very light interior. The wooden furniture is absolutely gorgeous.

The concept is simple: you order at the counter and your food is prepared right in front of you. My risotto was very good and the pizza of my friends also looked great with fresh ingredients and an abundance of toppings. Everything you order is registered on a key card and you pay when you leave the restaurant.

My only minor concern are the paper bags that Vapiano uses for each serving of fresh pasta. Are those really necessary? Seems to me like a lot of unnecessary waste production.
