Frommer's "Maybe it's hip because it's a pioneer -- Siraselviler Avenue used to be a bit dicey, but it's now very close to having a clean bill of health." Full review

It’s difficult to choose among the main courses, which is unsurprising given that you’re dining at a restaurant where the chef’s previous establishments in both Switzerland and France received Michelin stars.
