"After many years of dining at the Cafe de la Paix, I have become very disappointed with the standard of service and the lack of clientele at what has been a very reliable and popular bistro. Tonight when I arrived, I found the restaurant to have only a few tables occupied and with the rear section shut off. Quite surprisingly and very unlike Geneva, I was told by the sole waiter to hang my coat on the coat rack he made no effort to welcome me). My guest and I then waited for a drinks order to be taken and we considered leaving at that point. Eventually our wine and food orders were taken and we settled down in expectation of a good dinner. While my starter of cal amaretti was excellent, my guest's dish of ravioli was cold and had to be rejected. His replacement dish of scallops was much better. Our main courses of Black cod and chevreuil were very appetising and we enjoyed them with the Gevry-Chambertin which we had chosen but only after being informed that our first choice of wine was not available!! In summary, the food was up to standard with the exception of the cold ravioli but the atmosphere and service were not anything like we had experienced on many prior visits I have to ask the question as to whether the owner is being distracted by his other restaurant in Carouge. I hope not but tonight's experience does not give me hope that the Cafe de la Paix will be in operation in the near future."

"My husband and I went to this restaurant with his sister and parents, we were five. There were 2 waiters and it took about 5 minutes to come and take our coats, which I found a bit long for a smallish restaurant like Diwane. Both...of the waiters were stressed and running around. Once we ordered 12 mezze dishes, we were served dishes progressively, which was fine. We asked for a water pitcher and never received it. When the first batch of mezzes came, we had not been served any bread. We asked for it and had 6 small pieces (triangles) of bread served. When I asked for more straight away (as we were 5), the lady (we think she was the owner's spouse) told us that the bread is served in this size so its stays warm and that they keep an eye on our table to replenish as soon as we finish the batch. Unfortunately, we had to ask and wait every time our bread was finished a very unpleasant experience. over, this same lady was falling sick or something and she was coughing into her hand and then touching plates to serve guests without washing them. The owner of the restaurant was also there and didn't seem very happy with his team as he was constantly criticising/scolding the waiters and we could even hear him from the kitchen. The great thing about this restaurant is its food fresh and delicious. We especially liked the moutabal, hummus (don't take the spicy one as it's not spicy at all), foul moudamas, grilled haloumi and taboulé."
