From an evening of hearty Italian cuisine at restaurant Duchessa, to an oriental spa escape at Bain-Bleu Hammam and Spa, here’s our top 5 things to do this week in Geneva.
Hearty, classic Italian cuisine in a trendy setting
There are very few restaurants in Geneva that can claim a more attractive location than Duchessa, perched on a corner overlooking the stunning Place de Neuve square. The culinary hotspot serves up traditional Italian food in an elegant and trendy space, and has a menu with everything you could possibly imagine. We opt for La Pasta Duchessa – a black truffle pasta blazed in front of you with rich truffle cream and topped with truffle shavings – it tastes as good as it sounds!
Where:Rue Jean-François Bartholoni 10, 1204 Genève
Valentine’s shopping spree at the Ritz-Carlton
In collaboration with the online store Les Joyeuses Audacieuses, Ritz-Carlton will be hosting a charming Valentine’s Day show featuring a range of different gift ideas for the special day. If you’re in need of inspiration or simply want to treat yourself with something new, this is the perfect occasion for some shopping spree fun!
Date & Time: 6 February, 19:00-21:03
Oriental spa escape at Bain-Bleu Hammam and Spa

Parisian institution in the heart of Geneva
A real institution, Relais de l’Entrecôte is a classic Parisian bistrot located in the heart of Geneva. It was Paul Gineste de Saurs who in 1959 first created the restaurant in Paris, with his daughter Marie-Paul then continuing her fathers legacy and expanding outside. The restaurant is totally sophisticated and well-run, and owes it’s reputation to a single course menu: a walnut salad followed by a tender sirloin steak with its famous secret sauce, and delicious thin-cut french fries of course!
Where: Rue Pierre-Fatio 6, 1204 Geneve
