Young chef Florian Le Bouech is at the helm of one of our favourite bistrots in Carouge: L’Artichaut, a cozy (it only seats 26) and modern foodie retreat overlooking the river Arve on the quai du Cheval Blanc.

Service was friendly, quick and efficient, and my starter of foie gras and creamy celeriac was out-of-this-world. It’s just a shame that L’Artichaut is closed at the weekend.

For more info see their official website or call +41 22 301 90 91. Bon appétit !
