Golden Leaves. Nutmeg. Apple Cider. Pumpkin. Spice. and Everything Nice.
Welcome to autumn in Geneva. Whether you’re a local who lives for Swiss soup season or an expat hunting for *pumpkin spice everything, there’s a cozy table for everyone.
🎃 * Fun Fact:
To clarify, pumpkin spice does not actually contain pumpkin. It’s a spice blend – usually cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and sometimes a hint of cardamom – that North Americans decided tastes like nostalgia, falling leaves, and early consumerism.
