The hotel La Reserve, just outside Geneva, has been completely renovated and now caters to an international upscale crowd. The Tse Fung is one of five restaurants on the premises and offers an excellent Chinese cuisine.
While by no means a vegetarian restaurant, it offers some tasty options without meat. As a starter, the whole table can share a dim sum selection: mushrooms, spinach (both steamed and grilled) as well as mixed vegetable.
Too bad the amuse bouche was deep fried calamari, even after the waiter had been informed there were two vegetarian diners. This lack of attention is disappointing in a restaurant of this kind. Because you have to keep in mind that the Tse Fung is an expensive restaurant, with the duck topping at CHF 200.-
The wine list is also impressive with all the French finest offering and in particular Cos d'Estournel, whose owner also own la Reserve.
Going back to the dinner table, there are 6 vegetable dishes to chose from, but you should not miss the Szechuan style eggplant and the Deep fried tofu with spicy salt. Both are excellent and their different textures complement each other very well.
Meat and fish eaters also have many choices and in general the only drawback is that the menu never changes.
Desserts are a mix of western and oriental flavors such as the chocolate nems or candied ginger with lemon sorbet. An excellent way to end your dinner.
So if you are in the mood for a great evening and you don't mind spend some serious money, head for the Tse Fung. You won't be disappointed.
