The dish of the day at Bains des Pâquis
There’s something energizing about the Bains des Pâquis. A place so dear to the hearts of Genevans, it brings together gourmets, sports enthusiasts, tourists and locals in search of a change of scenery. On this spring day, the sun was out, the lake reflected touches of turquoise and the summit of the Salève retained a few snow-covered reliefs. What a panorama, what a gift of life; that’s what the Pâquis Spa is all about!
Buvette populaire gourmande
Needless to say, people are flocking to this self-service restaurant, so coveted as the summer approaches. Practical tip: if the weather permits, come early to make the most of it. You’ll want to avoid the crowds and make it a pleasant experience. You can of course succumb to the temptation of a half-and-half fondue with crémant or even a few oysters, but the daily specials, which change every lunchtime, are also well worth the detour. With a vegetarian option as a daily suggestion, let yourself be seduced, for example, by a roasted eggplant, tomato sauce, feta, pita bread accompanied by a crunchy carrot salad. A colorful treat that’s easy to share at the peak of a sunny day.
