Yvette de Marseille

Top choice in Geneva


No bar begs the question 'what's in the name?' more than this buzzy drinking hole. Urban and edgy, it occupies a mechanic's workshop once owned by Yvette. Note the garage door, the trap door in the floor where cars were repaired, and the building number 13 (aka the departmental number of the Bouches-du-Rhône department, home to Marseille).
