Have you ever wondered how good your culinary talent really is? Would you like to share your skills beyond your immediate circle of family and friends? And wouldn’t it be great to earn a little money whilst you cook?
Or do you simply enjoy good, home made food and tire of going out to restaurants that lack the intimate atmosphere of a special dinner cooked at home? Would you like to try new dishes from different cultures, lovingly prepared by hand in the host’s own kitchen?
If you answered yes to either of these questions, then you should take a look at Surfing Dinner’s new dining concept, which enables talented cooks to meet appreciative diners and share a memorable evening together within a friendly, homely atmosphere.
Don't miss out on all the fun and surprises being organized for their special Halloween event on Sunday 2 November!
The Hotel d’Angleterre is getting into the Halloween spirit this month, with a series of spooky afternoon teas being held throughout the whole of October.
Replacing their traditional afternoon tea, the new Halloween tea will include a delicious range of finger sandwiches, an assortment of bewitching scones served with Gruyere Double Cream and home-made jam, Halloween themed homemade pastries, (including a meringue ghost and a chocolate witch hat…) and, of course, the hotel’s exclusive Betjman and Barton selection of black, green, white and red teas.
Priced at CHF 47.-, or CHF 59.- with a glass of champagne, the spooky afternoon tea is a real treat for anyone looking for an excuse to spoil themselves this month with family and friends. Held in the Windows restaurant between 14h30 and 18h00 every day, the Hotel d’Angleterre’s afternoon teas are famous in this region, not just for their delicious delicacies but also their spectacular views over Lake Geneva!

In response to the growing demand for "slow food" served quickly, VAPIANO, has just opened its first restaurant in Geneva.
First created in Hamburg in 2002, this is the third VAPIANO in Suisse Romande, which builds on the success of its Lausanne and Fribourg restaurants. The menu is decidedly Italian, ingredients are all fresh, high-quality, mostly local and seasonal, and everything is prepared right before your eyes.
Taking up 700m2 across two floors that will accommodate more than 200 diners, and with a terrace that seats up to 96 people, VAPIANO is centrally located on the Place Saint-Gervais, near Manor and the Rhône river. The Italian architect and designer Matteo Thun is behind the conception of the space which uses Mediterranean touches such as an olive tree and herbs in pots to create a modern and welcoming atmosphere.

The exhibition takes you on a journey through five different themes - Body, Nutrition, Diets, Beliefs and Milk - revealing nutritional beliefs stemming from Antiquity to those that influence us today.
