Original vegan options include a quinoa a tucked-away destination

We tried three desserts as part of our first visit to this destination. They included: chocolate mousse; a mango-cream style mousse; and a date treat. They were less sweet, lighter fare, and required a taste expectation shift in regards to what to expect.

Pros: Unique options

Cons: Harder to find, but worth the search, Very little seating. Emphasis is on takeout.

A bit underwhelming

Bought 3 sandwiches and was a bit underwhelmed because it was a top rated vegan restaurant in Geneva. 3 sandwiches and chocolate was 66 Swiss Francs which surprised me. The food was good, but we had to eat outside because the restaurant is so small. Nice, healthy food but really pricey for what you get

Pros: Beautiful area of town, Healthy food

Cons: Super expensive , Sandwiches a bit bland

Petit restaurant sympathique

Le lieu est intimiste. Nous avons commandé des tartines en déjeuner, bien assaisonnées mais les portions étaient assez petites et plutôt chères. Le brownie au chocolat en dessert était très bon. La cuisinière / serveuse était très aimable.

Plant base power

While not the absolute best I’ve experienced, I truly appreciate any plant-based and organic offerings, especially in Geneva. It’s important to support businesses that focus on sustainability and healthy options. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to seeing your continued success!

So expensive - order on TooGoodToGo

I'm not giving it 5 stars because the prices are really crazy (even for Switzerland - I mean, 20CHF for a sandwich…), but I salute the fact that they offer leftovers on TooGoodToGo (and are 100% vegan, of course!). But really the prices are abusive.

Hello :)), maybe you forgot in your comment to mention that you paid 9.90 chf for a tooGoodtoogo of the same day consisting of a large hot dog and a small soup with organic and vegan ingredients. Regarding the price, I understand that our establishment is not suitable for all budgets but you are in Geneva, which is the 2nd most expensive city in Switzerland, a complete vegan and organic meal in a small restaurant at 28.50chf (price that you should have paid normally); is quite acceptable for Geneva. In addition, you photograph leftovers and identify them as if you had paid a normal price, is that really honest of you? :))

Looking forward to seeing you again next time so that you can judge us from a slightly more objective angle.

Not the best vegan place of Geneva

This was my first contact with a Swiss restaurant, and it wasn't the best experience.

I discovered this country was expensive when I saw sandwiches at 20€/CHF. Wow, what a shock. We took 3 of them to eat for later, and at the restaurant we ate bowls with quinoa and vegetables. At the end, we had a 95€/CHF bill. Wow...

The place is very small: two-three tables and a counter. We took this last one, but we were so tight, we had to deal with our bags and the tiny room we had. Small and wobbly chairs, and a hook below the counter to put our bags, but hey, if we put them here, where do we put our legs?! Very badly thought...

And NO TOILET!! We had to walk for 10 minutes in the city to find some public ones.

To sum up, I went there once but I won't redo it. 95€/CHF at the end, and we were still hungry.

Pros: 100% vegan

Cons: Lack of room, uncomfortable, Prices (Switzerland is expensive), No toilet!!

Not reliable for pre-work breakfast (in November)

I came by to try to get breakfast before meetings at a conference on 3 mornings. Twice it was not open at 8am as advertised, and the third time they did not have any bread to make toast and the other options all seemed very small. This was in November, so it may be different in tourist season.

Tout petit mais très bon

Restaurant à emporter ou sur place mais c’est vraiment très très petit ! Les sandwiches sont très bons les smoothies aussi. J’ai goûté le latte au sésame noir : délicieux aussi.
Seul bémol : pour le prix, les tartines sont vraiment très petites. Personnel adorable.

Pros: Personnel adorable , Très savoureux , Boutique végane & ayurveda

Cons: Un peu cher, Portion de tartine trop petite

A great place for a delicious vegan lunch

Great vegan food and a friendly welcome. A fantastic find in the centre of Geneva old town. I had the Padaseva Sandwich (smoked tofu, salad and hummus) which was really good.

Pros: Friendly welcome , Delicious food , Great location

Refeições saudáveis no centro histórico de Genebra

O Bio Fred é um pequeno restaurante que fica bem no centro histórico de Genebra, o que é muito conveniente para quem visita a cidade.

Almocei um prato de dahl com lentilhas e espinafre (foto) e fiquei bastante satisfeito. O atendimento foi muito cordial.

Cute place!

I bought special chocolates sweetened with dates!! so excited to find such a healthy treat! I did not get a chance to try the food. It looked really good. only bought a Matcha latte which was very good standard. I loved the products they had for sale there. Would love to come back to eat.

Cozy place!

Service was really friendly and the food was really good too! At first I was a bit nervous if the sandwich would be big enough but it was actually surprisingly filling! The location is in a nice quiet alley in the heart of Geneva!

Pros: Friendly vibe

Cons: Very few tables

C’est bon mais très peu de choix

Une mini échoppe, un choix pas très varié, et seulement 3 tables dans la rue pour s’assoir.
Dommage car l’offre végane est devenue rare à Genève.
Les jus sont très bons.
Personnel sympa, sauf la vendeuse qui vous explique que manger des œufs volés aux poules c’est super !

Updated from previous review on 2024-02-10

Pros: C’est frais, Les jus

Cons: Choix faible, Vendeuse qui fait l’apologie des œufs de poules 😳, C’est cher pour d’aussi petites portions

Fresh and tasty sanwiches

Small place in the Old town that serves fresh made, tasty sandwiches, soups, and a plate of the day.
We loved the Greque sandwich so much we came back the next day. It tastes so fresh, has feta and a lovely sauce that has a bit of a tang. The second time we ordered it, a different person made it and I couldn't taste the tang, which made the sandwich not as enjoyable.
We also tried the avocat sandwich and tofu tartine (which was like an open sandwich but with just one slice of bread). The chocolate mousse was very good but rich.
Other people had ordered the plate of the day which looked very good. There were only 2 tiny tables at the front.

Pros: Very fresh tasting sandwiches

Nice little take-away shop

We had a couple of hot drinks and small bites.
But you can take out toasts, sandwiches and a few simple desserts like pudding or mousse.

Note that there is no eat-in space. There are only two small tables and a sofa outside right by the window.

Pros: location, opening times, friendly staff

Cute place in Geneva old town.

A really cute place where you can eat good vegan food. So happy to eat a vegan sandwich with a really good bread! Sometimes it’s hard to find basic and good stuff. But you are at the right place for that. Can’t wait to try the rest of the card like the plate of the day if you want something hot.

Healthy place!

You have a nice selection of different dishes. All the juices are fresh. If you are lucky you can sit inside (4 chairs= 2 possibilities to sit). However if the weather is nice it's better to take away. I really loved their fresh organic food.
