Smashburgers and natural wine in Plainpalais. If you're reading this from New York or LA this might sound unremarkable — but having this in Geneva is genuinely comforting, and the burgers are delicious. Everything local: Swiss potatoes for the fries, sourced ingredients, the works. It tastes like they actually care, which in Geneva's burger landscape is not always guaranteed.

There's a larger smashburger chain that opened up literally next door — Pretty Patty — which makes for a very good Curb Your Enthusiasm spite store situation. I ride with Papabou.

"The fries are Swiss potatoes. The wine is natural. In Geneva this still counts as progressive."
