I have travelled the world extensively over 40 years. I ate at all restaurants ranging from pop & mom’s to Michelin three stars. This is my honest review of the restaurant Lion d’Or in Cologny village, right next door to Geneva city on left bank of Rhone river. Food and service are first class here. During good season, aim for early reservation for terrace table with front row view and be fast. Price is quite steep but is made up for by all the above-mentioned qualities.

My husband had a dinner with friends there and said it was exceptional. Service, food, location, wine everything is sophisticated at this place. Even a Christmas dessert which we have ordered there is delicious. Yes! Expensive, but worthy.
We’ve had a lunch today at Lion D’or. Everything is classy at this restaurant. Excellent service, exceptionally delicious food, presentation and the
breathtaking view!

We had a great dinner. The salmon tartare was delicious. The main, a morel poultry was fabulous, creamy sauce and perfectly cooked. I had a baba to finish that was perfect too. The waiters were very generous on the Rhum !

On the negatives, for the price the quantities are too small, and you will end up eating 3 plates and some bread. Service was surprisingly quick, too quick even. To me this tends to show that a lot is pre-prepared but then can affect some parts of the food like the bread with my tartare, a quality that wasn't acceptable a place of that standing (chewy toast like if it had been microwaved).

The view and the terrace are superb and the service is very kind. I find the wine list however very disappointing for a restaurant of this Level.
