Yvette de Marseille

Named after the mechanic who once owned this former garage, this funky bar tucked away in the residential Eaux-Vives district is hard to find but well-worth seeking out. Laid-back and friendly, it’s beloved by the locals for its retro atmosphere, great outdoor terrace and menu of Mediterranean-style tapas. It also boasts an extensive line-up of cocktails which, while not overly imaginative, are well presented and generously measured. Start here for an after-work drink and some nibbles before wandering next door to the L’Atelier Cocktail Club – together the two bars make for a great night out that’s a far cry from the usual tourist haunts.
