Of all time the sellers of roast meat were actors of the world of the Cooking and sublimated the most beautiful games in medieval fireplaces and gigantic roasting spit such as in the big historic houses. So it is in the restaurant ” La Broche ” of which Philippe Berzane holds the reins 36 angle rue du Stand and 8 rue de l’Arquebuse – 1204 in Geneva which the big specialities are the chickens, the legs of lamb and the oxen in the Brooch and which is soon going to celebrate its ten years …

La Broche en action

Created in 2002, the restaurant ” La Broche ” is part of these tables about which we do not speak enough about …

His director and head chef Philippe Berzane makes it fructify since the origin and manage it since 2005. Under Albert Roux’s Supervision, 3 macaroons to the Michelin to the Gavroche in London, Philippe Berzane has especially improve at first in the pastry, a bonus not insignificant for a Head chef because the precision of the weighing is an art which only pastry cook masters and who shows itself a precious asset in the kitchen, the successor of Rochat (3 macaroons Michelin and best Cook of the 20th century with Alain Ducasse), Benoît Viollier, knows something about it, because he studied in the same school.

All this to say that Philippe Berzane is one of those heads discreet by nature but who knows about what he speaks and who deserves all our attention. Moreover his establishment without being studed does not run out of work and already built itself a robust reputation in the Genevan gastronomic landscape, especially that it is decorated with a historic banqueting hall ” The Room of Kings ” one of the most beautiful rooms of the Genevan heritage classified as “Historic Monument”, with its frescoes of the XIXth century and its high ceilings of 15m, capacity up to 250 persons. http://www.restaurantlabroche.ch
