Where the lake meets the sea
Est. 2014
A seafood-led tasting menu by chef Élodie Vannier, in a candle-lit room on Quai du Mont-Blanc.
Our Story
A house built around the sea
Founded in 2014 by chef Élodie Vannier, Maison Dorval brings together the refinement of French classic cuisine and the clarity of contemporary seafood cookery. Our tasting menus change with the tide: what arrives from Breton ports in the morning finds its way to your plate by evening. The dining room, carved from walnut and brushed brass, opens onto the lake; the wine cellar holds over nine hundred references from the Lavaux terraces, Burgundy and the Loire.

“Easily the best seafood meal I have had in Geneva. The butter-poached lobster is transcendent, and the service feels both precise and warm. A special place.”
