Geneva falls squarely into the French influence part of Switzerland, lying as it does on the border between the two countries. Geneva's position at the heart of the skiing area of the country means that many of the dishes in the restaurants are seasonal, and hearty to give you the energy to get out on the piste. The city has more of its restaurants nominated in gastronomic guides than any other Swiss city, and amongst the best places to dine in Geneva are Café de Paris, Café Gourmand, and Chez Jacky.
