Geneva’s cuisine is as multicultural as its inhabitants. Bordered by France, 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.

1. Un R de Famille
This cafe and community centre tops the lists of local families when it comes to places to eat in Geneva with kids. Their Family Sunday Brunch (10:30am-4pm) includes a storytelling session and professional child carers on hand to entertain your little ones. And better still, under 2’s eat free. The buffet of continental foods includes cured meats, cheeses, fantastic salads, quiches, breads, pastries and more. But it’s not just Sundays that families are welcome – all week this place welcomes children with a play area, loads of toys and books, and a lovely shaded terrace for summer. It really feels like home from home where you could hang out all day.
Reservations are required for the family Sunday Brunch.

3. Auberge Communale du Grand Donzel
A little out of town (6km) but worth travelling to if you have a hire car. This family friendly restaurant is a great place for lunch if you want to escape the city hubub, with plenty of space for the kids to run around. The summer terrace overlooks a spacious garden with play equipment for the children and beautiful mountain views. The menu changes seasonally, featuring fresh, local produce, and there’s a simple kids menu too.
