Bombar’s butternut

Le Bombar is a hit! So far, nothing new under the Geneva gastronomic sun. Great service, great atmosphere, great products, gourmet menu changes and an attractive and varied list of natural wines make this connoisseur’s landmark a culinary must. It’s hard not to succumb to the various temptations offered by Victor Freiburhaus and Alexandre Jeny, but during a recent visit, it was the roasted butternut accompanied by tahini, subtly topped with zaatar and a few lightly toasted pine nuts that made our hearts skip a beat. So, yes, I could have told you about the longeole, vinaigrette and fennel pickles or the exceptional Fregola sarda with truffle risotto, but the butternut, a typically autumnal and comforting vegetable, deserved to be in the spotlight. Enjoy your meal.
