Au Pied de Cochon

Named after a restaurant at Les Halles in Paris, this is the best place to go in Geneva for hearty Lyonnais fare, if you don't mind the smoke and the noise. The setting is fin de siècle, with a staff dressed entirely in black and white. The bistro maintains its Lyonnais antecedents, which every Francophile knows are the most illustrious for fine brasserie-style food. A lot of young people, artists, and local workers dine here, as well as lawyers from the Palais de Justice across the way. The cooking is as grandmother used to prepare it, provided she came from the Lyon area. Naturally, the namesake pieds de cochon (pigs' feet) is included on the menu, along with tender alpine lamb, grilled anguillettes, and tripe.
