Les Filles Indignes

Une très jolie déco qui mélange objet design et vieux meubles, qui donne envie de se poser et de tout goûter ! Un lieu cosy pour passer un bon moment, presque caché comme pour favoriser les échanges de secrets entre copines.
Genève se réveille et offre un nouvel endroit, tant mieux !!
Un bon +, le brunch une fois par mois :)
Je reviendrai !!

Les conoci en el food truck event del finde pasado en Ginebra. La buena onda de todos es lindisima.
Bagels, bagels y mas bagels. Fanatica de ellos probe el bagel con bacon y queso,
todo muy rico y sano. Todo se siente fresco, casero.

Notre petit passage express pour un expresso me laisse un goût de reviens-​y… Le café prend tout de suite une autre saveur quand il est bien servi, qu’on est confortablement installé dans un fauteuil moelleux et que le cadre nous invite à rêver, à papoter, à refaire le monde…
Petit plus: Venez bouquiner quand le coeur vous en dit! Vous avez la possibilité de laisser un marque-​page dans le livre de votre choix avec votre nom afin de poursuivre votre voyage littéraire lors de votre prochaine visite.

I went to meet our Geneva Community manager here. She suggested the place and I’ve been in the neighborhood before but this place is new. It’s has a very cozy and inviting décor. The staff was friendly. The thing I learned about this place, that probably won’t last forever is that if you bring a book for their shelf you can get a free coffee. Nice. Especially in a town where I once spent 12 francs for a coffee. I only ordered a tea but what a fancy one I got… please check out my photo. The food menu sounded great, especially the soup de jour and grilled cheese for 8.50 chf. A bargain by Swiss standards. Next time I will eat there for sure. They have tables, booths and bar seats. Try it out if you are in the neighborhood.

There are news places which grab your attention from outside when you pass by. And that’s usually how we discover them. But there are a few that you want to discover even if you never saw them and have no idea how they look like. You don’t know what appealed you so much when you’ve heard of them but you just can’t wait to discover!
That’s what happened to me for Les Filles Indignes.
Maybe it’s the name which attracted me actually. You know, when something which should be repulsive (why would I like to spend my precious coffe/​lunch time sourrounned by indignity ?!) actually get you attracted. A bit like if I tell you «don’t look at my chin «and you automatically look at it !
So when we scheduled our first 2015 Elites Geneva coffee time with (wonderful :) Lisa S. I thought of meeting there !
The place is freshly opened (Jan. ’15) and has a great size. Left part is the Epicerie fine and right side is the coffe/​drinks/​bar area but you can sit everywhere you want and even the left side has couch area.
And then, behind, stands the treasure… What makes me like this place more than many others… What makes you feel you are in a movie (romantic one :)…
The bookshelf.
When I see it, I wish I had an entire life of freetime available. To sit and drink coffee while discovering books. Unfortunately, nobody does. But we all have rainy sundays ;)
Though, and that’s the only tiny disapointement I would point out: Les Filles Indignes are not open on sundays, for now.
It’s not that bad. They have plenty of charms to appeal you on week days and why not grabbing a book on Monday morning at 7:30 before starting the crazy week?
Aside coffees and Epicerie fine, you will find nice wines as well. Did not taste them but will for sure pass by very soon for afterwork time because they seem deliciously repulsive! ;-)
Astuce (which I like SO MUCH that I can’t help myself from mentioning it as an Astuce and in my reviews as well): if you bring a book you’ve finished reading, they offer you coffee ! (as long as the shelf has empty spaces ;) Hurry!
