Geneva: A romantic throwback hideaway

Posted by Jennifer Henrichsen at 10:26 AM

I am sitting in a comfortable, romantic haunt I stumbled upon my first week here in Geneva. The family-owned Remor is known for its refreshingly juicy sorbets, served on chilled silver platters. 1920's jazz music washes through the room, transporting the common customer into a genteel black and white film, where romantic love still exists and happy endings never fail. C'est bon.
