Very nice boat-bar located on the Rhone river, not far from Bel-Air and Plainpalais. The rooftop terrasse is very pleasant and quiet for a drink and snacks in the summer.

Iconic Genevan place with stunning view on the lake and very chilled atmosphere. Perfect for enjoying a fondue with a group of friends, but maybe less for a couple as the place is loud. Book a table in advance and bring some cash (no card reader).

Everything Else
A 5-min walk from the apartment, the Carouge market is open every Saturday until 1-2pm. Nice to walk around, drink coffee and observe the local way of living. I highly recommend the falafel of the stand called "Galettes de la Paix". Zou should be able to recogniye it by the line of people queuing to taste this weekend treat.
