Le Diwane

Good lebanese restaurant with a small terrace in the heart of Geneva. If you like wine, take this opportunity to try the lebanese wines, they are amazing!

I was so torn between giving this restaurant a 4 or 5 star rating because the service blew me away, but the food, while very good, fell just a bit short in comparison. The waiters were extremely attentive, friendly, and had no qualms switching from French to English for me. Initially we sat out on the patio, but the sun was going to set soon and he suggested that we could switch to the inside because it would get chilly. We had not yet thought of this, and I was pleasantly surprised by his ability to anticipate needs that we were not yet aware of ourselves. We had a couple of standard Lebanese mezze starters and I had the shrimp dish (49 francs) as a main. In regards to portions, you may not get as much as some other Lebanese restaurants, but it was also nice not feeling like I was about to explode when dessert rolled around. And dessert was scrumptious– pancakes filled with cream and sprinkled with pistachios. Just divine.
