Already well known for its bread\u2014which can be found on the tables of many Geneva restaurants\u2014Sawerd\u014d now invites us to discover its brunch, served at lunchtime. We take a seat on the terrace, bathed in the gentle rays of the October sun, and peruse the menu.  <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28408\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28408\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-28408\" src=\"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/260904_Sawerdo_DSC01902-1080x1440.jpg\" alt=\"260904 Sawerd\u014d DSC01902\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/260904_Sawerdo_DSC01902-1080x1440.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/260904_Sawerdo_DSC01902-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/260904_Sawerdo_DSC01902-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/260904_Sawerdo_DSC01902-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/260904_Sawerdo_DSC01902-900x1200.jpg 900w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/260904_Sawerdo_DSC01902-1200x1600.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/260904_Sawerdo_DSC01902-1600x2133.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28408\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sawerdo&#8217;s Honey-Roasted Halloumi \u00a9Edouard Amoiel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roasted Halloumi with Honey<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the very first glance, the menu whets our appetite. With a mix of sweet and savory options, we settle on the Philly Cheesesteak and the honey-roasted halloumi. On one side, a soft bun topped with pulled beef, cheddar, and paprika mayonnaise, accented with red onion pickles, hazelnuts, and dill. A generous, indulgent dish that won us over. On the other plate, the halloumi is served with thin slices of beet, caramelized shallots, and orange segments. A lighter dish\u2014perhaps a bit too sweet\u2014but one that reveals a lovely balance as the flavors blend on the palate.     <\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a meal like that, it\u2019s impossible to leave Sawerd\u014d without giving in to the temptation of a loaf of bread in the window. We set our sights on an olive-flavored loaf, which will go perfectly with our dinner tonight. A signature sourdough dough and perfectly executed baking: the recipe for success among the people of Geneva. And because a meal must end on a sweet note, we choose a matcha and white chocolate cookie. Soft, generous, and indulgent, it brings this sunny break to a close.    <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28409\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28409\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-28409\" src=\"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/260904_Sawerdo_DSC01911-1080x1440.jpg\" alt=\"260904 Sawerd\u014d DSC01911\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/260904_Sawerdo_DSC01911-1080x1440.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/260904_Sawerdo_DSC01911-375x500.jpg 375w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/260904_Sawerdo_DSC01911-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/260904_Sawerdo_DSC01911-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/260904_Sawerdo_DSC01911-900x1200.jpg 900w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/260904_Sawerdo_DSC01911-1200x1600.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/260904_Sawerdo_DSC01911-1600x2133.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28409\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Swaerdo&#8217;s counter in Geneva \u00a9Edouard Amoiel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Heartfelt Lunch<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Sawerd\u014d, the lunch break is meant to be genuine and unpretentious.
