The place
Welcome to the Lion d’Or Bistro đšđ
Located in the heart of the charming commune of Cologny, the Lion d’Or Bistro embodies the soul of a historic and iconic establishment. A former renowned inn, the establishment continues the art of hospitality in a warm and friendly atmosphere. In the kitchen, Executive Chef LĂ©o Besnard and his team put their passion and expertise at the service of authentic gastronomy, combining tradition and creativity. As soon as you step through our doors, you are immediately enveloped by the unique atmosphere of a Swiss bistro where culinary excellence rhymes with generosity.
A gourmet, varied, and generous menu
The Lion d’Or Bistrot has evolved to offer an even richer and more flavorful experience. Our menu, once centered on iconic dishes, has expanded to satisfy all cravings. Alongside our signature Lake Geneva perch fillets, enhanced by a homemade tartar sauce, discover a varied selection of gourmet dishes that celebrate local terroir with finesse.
A gourmet calendar for a renewed experience

Each day of the week, a specialty enriches our menu, offering regulars and newcomers alike the opportunity to vary their pleasures. Frog legs in parsley, homemade bouillabaisse on Fridays, and many other delights are on the menu, making each visit a unique experience.
Gourmet desserts to end on a sweet note
Because a good meal always ends on a sweet note, our dessert menu will satisfy all cravings. Madagascar vanilla mille-feuille, generous rum baba, or our homemade profiteroles… Each bite is a promise of indulgence.
