Mare & Monti
★ 4.7 · 192 reviews Geneva Opened April 2025
The old Bellota-Bellota room on Grand-Rue, now natural wine and sharing plates.
Mare & Monti took over the old Bellota-Bellota space on Grand-Rue in Geneva's Old Town this April. Chef Luca Larrieu runs a sharing menu built for the table, and Martin Reggiani handles a natural wine list that does a lot of the talking.
The name change comes with a shift away from the old Spanish charcuterie focus toward something broader and more Mediterranean. The terrace out front is one of the bigger ones on this street.

Mare i Monti is a wonderful discovery. The restaurant focuses on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and the quality truly shows in every dish. The cuisine is rooted in traditional flavors but presented with a subtle and thoughtful modern touch. The presentation is impeccable, each plate arriving beautifully arranged without feeling pretentious. The service is also excellent — attentive, warm, and very professional, making the whole experience feel effortless. A place where you can enjoy honest cuisine, carefully prepared and executed with great taste. I would happily return.

The food is great, as is the service and atmosphere. My concerns are with the portions (more akin to a "degustation" menu than a menu à la carte) and with the staff suggesting that we order two dishes each and share them. Nothing against it, except for the fact that, as mentioned, food portions are very small, and often not in a shape that makes it easy to share (how do you share a small piece of fish with 4 other guests? - Do they mean we should basically have only one bite of each dish?). Does not really work for me.

This time came back with my better half. We loved it. Tonight was valentines so they put on a fixed menu that pleased our tastebuds..stomach... and hearts. Clearly original ideas and thought and effort went into the alchemy of food, perfect plate size for each course, leaving you finishing happily satisfied. And once again great (multi-lingual)team and hosts made for a lovely evening. Thank you.
