This popular place was created under the Café des Pâquerettes brand in 1882 in a building that is now listed, a stone's throw from the benevolent gaze of Duke Charles II of Brunswick.

It was a very simple place which will become in a few years a reference address thanks to its cheese fondue specialties.

Nestled in the shadow of the monumental Poste du Mont-Blanc, a stone's throw from the Cornavin train station and very close to the lake, the restaurant renamed "Au Petit Chalet" in 1956, is ideally located in a central and lively area throughout. of the day and very busy in the evening by locals and numerous tourists.

 Today, as in the past, this authentic place offers sincere and generous cuisine, anchored in the local Swiss region and with international influences.

Its wide variety of cheese fondues has made its reputation and many Genevans cite Au Petit Chalet as the local reference in this area.

At the beginning of the twenty-first century, Au Petit Chalet, unable to respond to the numerous requests, expanded with the neighboring arcade which became Au Grand Chalet and thus doubled its accommodation capacity.

On the night of March 5, 2022, the restaurant was engulfed in a violent fire. Everything is reduced to ashes but the perseverance of the owner allows, after a year of work, to breathe new life into this place which has become legendary and essential in Geneva.
