Le Bistro favours local produce at a reasonable cost. The restaurant seeks to attract a local, neighbourhood clientele in search of fresh, seasonal cuisine. Le Bistro is open Monday to Sunday - 7 days a week – for lunch and dinner and offers original specials every week and a different menu daily.
With a score of 18/20 in Gault&Millau in 2026, the "Promu de l'année" distinction in 2019 and 2026, and a Michelin star since 2020 (for his other restaurant, L'Aparté), Chef Armel Bedouet of Le Bistro is a star on the rise. Currently located near Bogie's Bar, Le Bistro remains true to its label as a French Brasserie: a neighborhood restaurant known for its generous and flavorful cuisine.
Chef Armel Bedouet left his native Brittany inspired by a passion for authentic cuisine. He developed his talent in several prestigious establishments in France, including Lameloise, rated 18/20 by the Gault&Millau guide and the holder of three Michelin stars. In 2001 he moved to Geneva and joined the brigade of Dominique Gauthier at Le Chat Botté, which has a rating of 18/20 in the G&M and holds one Michelin star. Since 2008, he has been in charge of the kitchens of the Hotel Royal restaurants including L’Aparté, which was awarded a rating of 18/20 for the 2026 G&M guide and in 2020 was awarded one Michelin star, an honour which has been proudly maintained. For the 2019 G&M, and again in the 2026 guide, Armel Bedouet received the “Promu de l’année” distinction.
