Last night, a few people from the Federation went to Cafe Metis in Geneva. Quaint little place with probably a total capacity of 50-60 people. We wound up fitting 30 in the loft overlooking the main tables on the ground floor - tight quarters. I'm constantly amazed that there are people in even the smallest, darkest, most remote restaurants and cafes of Geneva. Everyone seems to frequent every restaurant at all times.
I think that a small reason to this is the grocery store availability: the stores close at 7pm routinely throughout the week, with the exception of Thursday for which the stores remain open for an hour longer.
Another funny find on the way to Cafe Metis was Central Perk - a cafe in Geneva that is modeled off of the famous Friends cofee house.
Food was middle eastern, with a good helping of falafel, hummus, babaghanouj, baklava, and a few other things I couldn't identify. Came out to be around 40 CHF for the entire meal, which included a single (large) plat and enough wine to drown a monkey. Pretty expensive, but comprable to a large, socialable meal with friends in a city like NYC, but the waitstaff was nicer (which I hear is a rarity in Geneva).
