Lunch and Dinner in Geneva, Switzerland


We spent half a day walking around Geneva, enjoying the views of the lake and some of the tourist attractions.  Geneva is a pretty city, it is very clean, extremely expensive, the people are friendly and the food is great. 




















 Our lunch destination was a food court at the Globus department store, a great treat since  I love food courts and foreign supermarkets!

In my opinion, only Le Grand Epicerie in Paris could rival this superbly clean and well stocked store.  
 









 Loved that this was basically a meal all set up in one spot, all that was needed was some balsamic vinaigrette.



Huge selection of olive oil and vinegar.




Spices are always my favorite souvenir.


 Chocolate on a spoon to be dissolved in a cup of hot milk or water, it came in many flavors.


 beautiful jellies.







 Many varieties of rice
















 We had lunch at the Caviar House at the Globus Food Court.  We sat at the counter and marveled at this woman's speed and precision.   
  

Our friends had the crab salad


and the seafood platter


I had the freshest and best tasting smoked salmon and shrimp.  This was so delicious that I could eat this every other day for a year.




 I got this lovely strawberry and pistachio tart in the pastry department.
 





In the evening our dinner was at the wonderful Restaurant du Creux -de- Genthod.  We have dined here a few times already and were very excited to return. 


 The lakeside setting, the pretty tablecloths, the attentive service and the occasional duck flying above our heads helped to create a lovely and fun dining experience. 








 The view from our table was serene and gorgeous, a wonderful soft breeze was our air conditioning and the chirping of the birds was the musical accompaniment. 
 



 Cold tomato soup




Delicious pate.


  



Perch fillets are the specialty here, they are served with fries and homemade tartar sauce.






As the sun was setting, the colors of the mountains became more dramatic and stunning.




 A delicious meringue with homemade cream and ice cream were the perfect way to end this day.

    Theatres have been there for a long time, and we cannot say the date of its existence too. Along with this, Geneva has tried its best to preserve this art form until now by making a place for a countless number of shows. Come here and book your tickets. Here you will get to enjoy the shows that are interesting and have an immaculate storyline too. To know about the theatre Genève shows taking place reach us on https://eventsgeneva.ch/ now.

Bordier Butter - The Best Butter in France

France is in the midst of a butter shortage!  Due to a decrease in milk production and a substantial demand for French pastries all over the world (mainly China and the Middle East), the price of butter has increased by 60% in one year.  The French are stocking up and thus creating shortages.  French newspapers are publishing articles titled "A guide to cooking without butter".  So, with hopes that the shortages are temporary, here is my ode to the best butter in the world.  I'm not kidding.  The. Best. Butter. In. The. World. Mr. Bordier, a grandson and a son of cheese mongers, became a butter artisan in 1985.  He acquired a creamery originally founded in 1927.  The supreme taste of the Bordier butter was first recognized by a chef from the Plaza Athenee while vacationing in Brittany, a beautiful region in northwestern France. Bordier is the lone butter master to still use the old method of kneading the butter according to the 19th century t...

Dallal Restaurant, Tel Aviv

Dallal is located in the heart of Neve Tzedek, Tel Aviv's oldest district and the first Jewish  neighborhood outside of the old port city of Jaffa.  It was built as a suburb in 1887 and is now a very trendy area full of cafes, boutiques, and restaurants.   I have been buying breads, cakes and croissants at the Dallal Bakery for a few years now, but this was my first time dining at their restaurant on the corner of Shabazi Street.   Dallal takes up a good chunk of the block since it was built on the ruins of three restored houses next to the Suzanne Dallal Cultural Center. There are a few sitting options while dining at Dallal: outside in the small garden-like area, in the enclosed courtyard with a view of the sky, and inside the restaurant which feels like old time Paris. Dallal is a perfect place for a fun lunch with friends, or a romantic dinner with your sweetheart. There are two lunch options at Dallal: 78 ILS for two appetizers and bread...

Hakosem, Tel Aviv

If you Google: Best shawarma in Tel Aviv, the name Hakosem is bound to pop up close to the top of any list.  It is very easy to find decent shawarma and falafel in Tel Aviv, but we wanted to try what is considered to be one of the best.  Hakosem located in a nice residential neighborhood is a food stand with plenty of tables and chairs set up on the sidewalk.  They serve superb shawarma, falafel, sabich, shakshuka, shnitzel, and veggies.            The line is pretty constant throughout the day, but it moves fast.  Free falafel balls are gifted to the  hungry customers to keep them happy while they wait.        I found the place to be very clean.     Freshly chopped veggies are continuously brought in from the kitchen in the back.         My husband could not resist the shawarma in lafa.  It was quite lar...
