Restaurant located on the shores of Lake Geneva offering the best local products.
Founded in 1938 by Jules and Louisa, Les Cygnes restaurant perpetuates the best of tradition by preparing and cooking local produce. Starting with lake fish caught by Ludo (the son), trimmed and boned on site before being cooked by Yannick (the second son). To be enjoyed on a dreamy terrace or in the dining room: perch fillets prepared 9 ways, lake fish served whole and carved at the table, plancha of Lake Geneva fish, beef fillet, lamb shoulder confit. A fine selection of wines. The true taste of happiness!

Pêche, cuisine, et gourmandises
L'accueil est vraiment sympathique, tant mieux dans un endroit comme celui-ci. Les poissons sont super bien cuisinés, des produits frais, on entend les mouettes, la vue sur le lac, c'est sur, le paradis, doit se trouver ici !

Lac et cuisine
On s'est laissé tenté à découvrir ce restaurant depuis lequel la beauté du lac Léman reflète ! Des assiettes parfaites pour une cuisine du même rang. Le service est très souriant, voire très dynamique. Et le rapport qualité prix est parfait.

Plats copieux et cuisine familiale
Véritable coup de coeur pour le site, et hyper contente de mon assiette. Malgré la beauté du lieu, cette petite famille ne se repose pas sur le site. Les plats sont délicieux, bien travaillés, c'est la première fois que nous venions et on reviendra en juillet. En 3 mots, beauté du lac, qualité de l'assiette, et saveurs en bouche.

Les mouettes, le lac, l'assiette
Un endroit magique, plein de bonnes ondes ! Le lac, le soleil, la gentillesse du personnel, le cadre biensûr, et la pêche que l'on retrouve dans l'assiette. C'est authentique, on ne voit pas le temps passer, et on ne vous met pas dehors quant vous le prolongez !
