This is a great list! Definitely going to bookmark. I do know a few – like the Cottage – but some great new ones to try! 👏
Do you have any favourites you would add to the list?
I can recommend Chouchouette for Japanese and Street Beirut for Lebanese near Plainpalais.
I don’t eat out much, but I will definitely try your Lebanese recommendation.
