Little Buddha Geneva The look will be minimalist and refined, the atmosphere suave and relaxed. The concept behind Little Buddha Geneva, soon to become the latest member of the chain, has been tried and tested with success in many cities around the world. Located on Place Neuve, in the banking district, the Genevan establishment is due to open in October. Occupying two floors, it will provide two distinct spaces… On the ground floor there will be a restaurant with Asian-inspired décor, featuring an impressive statue of Buddha, with room for 100 guests, offering Pacific Rim cuisine, a subtle blend of flavours and cultures, a creative mix of exotic and traditional fare. Those who adore raw fish will also find a sushi bar here! In the basement, you will be able to sink into the large sofas in the Lounge Bar, to the sounds of live DJs every night. A thoroughly contemporary venue.

Check In bar lounge A visit to the Check In Bar Lounge in Neuchâtel is a welcome change of scene. This former cinema theatre is like the set of a live film, with a script based around a wonderful journey. It all begins as soon as you enter and find yourself in what looks like an airport terminal. The main room is reminiscent of the hanging gardens of a grand colonial hotel. A pagoda on stilts hangs above the water cascading from a waterfall, with wooden pontoons leading off to other tables. This taste for the exotic is reflected in the drinks (tropical cocktails) and dishes on offer. Crayfish and lobsters, the house speciality, are selected from a tank. Have you checked in yet? Because we are about to take off…
Check In Bar Lounge, Neuchâtel International Airport, 1, place Numa-Droz, 2000 Neuchâtel, 032/724.11.27. Open Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday from 5.00 pm to 1.00 am; Friday and Saturday from 5.00 pm to 2.00 am.

Midi 20 Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, would certainly have appreciated this wine bar in Lausanne city centre. Its refined décor is comprised of high tables and blackboards, natural wood flooring and large wine racks, featuring vintages from every corner of the world, Swiss vineyards included. Here novices, wine-lovers and connoisseurs can enjoy a glass or two without the distraction of deafening music. The atmosphere is friendly, yet always conducive to tasting and appreciating the different notes of the wines on offer, which can be combined with a bite to eat. Last December, Midi 20 was even voted best wine bar in Lausanne by the TV programme “ABE”. Cheers!
