If you are looking for a combination of good food and contemporary atmosphere, Café des Bains, near the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, is the place to go. It is a pleasant restaurant with an international kitchen and with culturally inspired surroundings; trendy without being pretentiously hip.

The kitchen offers a wide range of food from authentic French or Italian to Thai and North African to – soon to come – tapas, or succulent fusion mixtures. There is always something nice to everyone’s taste, be it for lunch or for dinner. The tables are dressed with brightly coloured covers and napkins; the décor of the restaurant and bar are inspired by designs from the early 20th century.

The adjacent coffee and drinks bar is a great place to relax and enjoy a drink, any time of the day. Caroline Vogelsang is the creative force behind this small but unique restaurant next to Plainpalais.
