- 12 rue du Midi, 1248 Hermance
- Lakeside auberge on the French border
- Seasonal kitchen, garden terrace
- Lunch and dinner, closed Sunday evening
The Auberge d'Hermance is the lakeside village inn fifteen minutes from the centre of Geneva, just before the French border — the long terrace on the harbour, the seasonal kitchen, the room that the bankers and the lake villa crowd have kept off the public lists for the Sunday lunch. The kitchen runs the precise market menu with the lake fish as the headline.
Book the terrace at 13h on a clear summer afternoon, take the lake perch and the salad, drink the Chasselas by the carafe. The lunch is the right Geneva answer for the day that wants the lake village rather than the centre, and the long drive home along the shoreline is part of the meal.
The lake village lunch on the slow Sunday.
