Geneva’s cuisine is as multicultural as its inhabitants. Bordered by France, Germany and Italy, the Swiss city draws a lot of inspiration from the Mediterranean diet, so you’ll find plenty of fresh fish, pasta and salads. But of course, you mustn’t leave without trying some traditional Swiss foods too. The kids will love La Croute au Fromage, which is similar to a Croque Monsieur and served in most cafes. Whilst parents might like to go for the healthy option to start their day with some delicious creamy Bircher muesli. And don’t forget to leave room for some of the famously smooth, silky Swiss chocolate.
