Christophe Berger - Genève

Not only one of the city's best chocolatiers but also a fantastic baker and patissier! You can have breakfast and lunch there. The croissants are divine, the pain au chocolat with brioche bread and praline chocolate is ridiculously good and he has little sandwiches one of which contains the local version of Marmite called Cenovis and is a must try. Lunch is awesome and they have some super origianl sandwiches with great whole wheat bread like the magret de canard with pears, cheese and walnuts. They also serve delicious omelets. CB also makes the coty's best desserts! The éclair praliné with hazelnut cream, caramelized hazelnuts inside and a thin chocolate wafer is so good I could cry. His chocolate éclair has no competitors in Geneva. Service isn't the most organized but the staff is very kind and helpful and its always worth the wait!

Nice but overcrowed the days of markets . Very good pastry shop If not the best in Geneva. The decoration is not super and there are many voices to say they should get rid of the ugly dusty Cotton cloud hanging in the main room.

I say this as a born and bred Genevan: Christophe Berger is the best in town. I checked tripadvisor out of curiosity, to see how this held up, and I'm glad to see it has a 5/5 rating, because in this case it is fully deserved. Chocolates here are more Parisian in style, meaning that they are slightly lighter and stronger in taste, but I still find them unctuous. The highlight here, however, is the patisserie. You really have to see it and taste it to understand. Let's just say it is well worth a detour.

Desserts of exceptional quality. Light and ventilated. Comme il faut. Not too much sugar, but not hard. Beautiful unique combinations of flavors. It is a bit more expensive than your mill cake shop, but is much more rewarding than other specialists pâtissiers. Failproof Dessert .. 100% success rate for entertaining guests and visitors. Go early. They sell themselves fast.

Do not mislead the title, this place is great, just say my standards are high. The dark chocolate Eclair was great, and the little dark chocolate cake was also delicious. We also bought some chocolate to take with us to say great needles.
