Chef Mariano Piñeiro López devotes an entire space to Basque cheesecake. This iconic Spanish dessert can now be enjoyed in the heart of Geneva.

Galician-born chef Mariano Piñeiro López brings to Geneva a Spanish recipe that he brings to life with local products. No longer do you have to go to San Sebastian’s famous La Viña restaurant to savor this iconic dessert, it is now available in several variations: chocolate, pistachio, speculoos, or roasted banana and peanuts. Mariano is proud of his recipe, which he created on his arrival at Le Tablard in Carouge and now reworks in his arcade on rue Rousseau. He also offers a reinterpretation of the classic version, making it with a seasonal cheese he selects directly from Swiss producers. And to accompany your slice of cheesecake, a specialty coffee from Base Coffee is also featured, with different beans every week. A great opportunity to discover this must-have dessert at La Basqueriea place entirely dedicated to it.
