This little gem is nestled in the old town of Geneva. They serve only the best quality rotisserie chicken. It is good every single time. The potatoes and salad are fresh and a great accompaniment. The staff is friendly and in the warmer months there is outdoor seating. It is a very reasonable meal to have in Geneva also, and... More

A half of a small chicken and a few roasted potatoes for $17.00 is actually reasonable for a restaurant in Geneva but it is still half of a small chicken and a few roasted potatoes. Crowding and dininterested service add to the woes. Take a public bus to Ferney-Voltaire or, better yet, Gex, in France and enjoy a good dinner... More

Old bread, Long service. Oversalted pork. Of course there are many foreigners that find it excellent and it is not very expensive for the city but I wish they cooked better.

Encouraged by the reviews on Trip Advisor, my partner and I visited Chez Ma Cousine for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. We were seated immediately, and although they appeared to be very busy, the service was brilliant throughout. It's not a big restaurant, but it was warm, friendly and well decorated throughout. We opted for the Demi Poulet, which was... More

This is a really cosy restaurant. The main dish is rotisserie chicken. It's so delicious and comes served with chips and the option for gravy. Everything was delicious although the gravy was too salty for me. It's incredibly busy here and the waiters are alway running around but we never had difficulty calling one over. It's a cheap and delicious... More

A nice, small restaurant with a cosy atmosphere and very good chicken! This is the specialty so if you expect a wide choice in the menu, go somewhere else. If you want to eat some nice chicken this IS the place!

Although the restaurant advertises chicken, I had the pork. Delightful. Cooked a long time with potatoes and salad. Hit the spot. Great service. And the restaurant is an easy place to eat alone or with business company if you need to talk at a leisurely quiet pace.

They serve great Rotisserie chicken and the salad at reasonable price. I had their Thai chicken salad. It has rice noodle and many juicy chicken slices. A half of chicken looked good, too. I heard that their curry chicken salad is also delicious. It is a must visit!

Main dish is chicken with salad to start with. Other than that there are 2 or 3 other choices (salads and meat). Friendly staff, light decoration, good food. Ideal for the "small budgets".

Chez Ma Cousine is a Geneva go-to for some of the best rotisserie chicken of your life, herb-spiced potatoe wedges and salad. This is their staple meal (called the "demi-poulet"), but their salads are all fantastic and the location in Peitite Saconnex offers a wonderful Petit Cousin (cafe gourmand) dessert, which is awesome. All entrees are priced aroun 15 CHF,... More
