Le Lyrique (Genève)

**A meeting place for Geneva's business, political and cultural elite, Le Lyrique is the city's oldest surviving restaurant-brasserie **.

**With its generous terrace, high second-empire ceiling and imposing columns, as well as its tasty cuisine and vibrant atmosphere, everything about Le Lyrique invites you to enjoy the pleasure of discovery, conviviality and sharing a good time together.

Originally named Brasserie Bâle-Strasbourg, Le Lyrique opened its doors in 1881, barely two years after the inauguration of its neighbor, the Grand-Théâtre, an institution dedicated to opera, as its name does not indicate. The presence of the Musée Rath (1824), the Conservatoire (1858) and the Victoria Hall (1894) on the same perimeter of the Place-Neuve, in the very heart of the city, soon made the Lyrique the unmissable gourmet rendezvous for artists and lovers of music and opera. Throughout the 20th century, and right up to the dawn of the new century, it maintained and cultivated its special place among Geneva's restaurants.

Under the leadership of its new owner, won over by the charm and character of the place, Le Lyrique is innovating and will be inviting you to its new setting from autumn 2017, respectful of a history steeped in symbols and a unique spirit.
