Founded in 1882 as the Café des Pâquerettes, this emblematic venue occupies a listed historic building, just a stone's throw from the monument to Duke Charles II of Brunswick. What started out as a simple café quickly became a must-visit address, thanks to the cheese fondues for which it is famous. Situated in the shadow of the Mont-Blanc Post Office, just a few minutes from the Cornavin train station and very close to Lake Geneva, this restaurant, renamed "Au Petit Chalet" in 1956, enjoys a privileged location in a central district, lively during the day and popular with locals and tourists alike in the evening.

At the beginning of the 21st century, in response to growing demand, the restaurant expanded its capacity by annexing the adjoining arcade, thus creating "Au Grand Chalet" and doubling its reception area. Unfortunately, on March 5, 2022, a fire ravaged the restaurant, reducing everything to ashes.

However, thanks to the determination of its owner, the restaurant was reborn after a year's work, regaining its status as a fixture on Geneva's gastronomic scene.
