Cod from the Buvette des Bains des Pâquis

The sky is slightly overcast, the jet d’eau gushes proudly in the background, while a chick-yellow Genevan seagull crosses the harbor between the two shores of our beautiful Cité de Calvin. The story – picturesque and reassuring – could almost end there, so perfect is the moment. Spring temperatures have a lot to do with it. After a quick dip in the pool to cool off, hunger strikes. And what a pleasant surprise it was to taste the dish of the day from the Buvette des Bains des Pâquis a cod steak with coconut milk and lemongrass, accompanied by wonderfully cooked vegetables – carrots, turnips, celery and braised endives – which add structure to an invigorating and comforting dish.
