Demi-Lune Café ; A Gourmet Address in the Heart of the Old Town

Between cobbled lanes and the Place du Bourg-de-Four, the address is part of the Geneva landscape. Its warm atmosphere attracts locals and tourists alike.

A Refined and Generous Cuisine

For many years, La Demi-Lune Café has welcomed Genevans and visitors in the heart of the Old Town. This address offers refined and generous cuisine, inspired by local and international flavours. The chef devises indulgent recipes from carefully selected ingredients. The famous burgers hold an important place in the restaurant’s identity. The menu also offers meat, fish, pasta, salads, vegetarian dishes and indulgent desserts. The establishment thus suits business lunches, meals with friends and convivial dinners.

Quality Produce at the Heart of the Cuisine

The quality of the produce guides every offering of the house. Starters, mains and desserts reflect this attention to detail.

Demi-Lune Café ; An Indulgent Menu

La Demi-Lune Café’s menu offers a generous, varied and inspired cuisine. The starters blend freshness and indulgence with burrata, artichokes alla romana or quinoa salad with seasonal vegetables. For the mains, bluefin tuna tartare, poultry and spaghetti alle vongole are among the options.

Burgers remain one of the house specialities, as a cheeseburger, crispy chicken, pulled pork or Garden Burger. To share, octopus croquetas, crispy salmon or a Malakoff with truffle cream complete the offer. Desserts end the meal on an indulgent note with cheesecake, tarte Tatin, meringue, ice cream or café gourmand. On Sundays, the address also offers a generous brunch.

A Review of Demi-Lune Café

Several plates make it possible to discover the different sides of the menu. Each stage of the meal reveals a well-mastered cuisine.

Burgers, but Not Only

The tasting begins with a gambero rosso carpaccio, offered as a suggestion. Very fresh and delicate, it opens the meal perfectly. Two summery granitas then bring a pleasant touch of freshness. To share, the Galician octopus croquetas and the crispy salmon offer two indulgent options. The octopus nonetheless remains rather discreet. The crispy salmon, with its soy caramel and yuzu ponzu sauce, is bolder. For the main, the vegetarian Garden Burger proves substantial and indulgent. This house speciality confirms its generous spirit. The spaghetti alle vongole offers a lovely option with marine flavours.

The meal continues with homemade iced teas with red berries or mint. Fresh and not too sweet, they pair pleasantly with the various dishes. To finish, the chilled lime zest cheesecake brings a fresh and tangy note. The whole remains perfectly mastered. Chef Younes Baziz and his team sign an indulgent and well-executed menu. This address clearly deserves to be rediscovered. Still in Geneva, Breitling Kitchen (in French) offers another gourmet stop. In the Old Town, the Margherita Social Club (in French) delights pizza lovers. For a comforting meal, Chez Ma Cousine (in French) celebrates roast chicken.
