The story
L'Agape is a contemporary restaurant in Genève, at Rue Caroline 11, where the kitchen cooks a short seasonal menu. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Bib Gourmand in 2026 for good-quality, good-value cooking, and Gault&Millau gave it 14 points the same year.
Jérémy Verqueire is the chef de cuisine. The menu is small and mixes regional and international dishes, so the seasonal produce changes with the menu. The restaurant also runs a catering service.
Gault&Millau praised scallops with radish and a savory dashi. Its confit pork came with fermented Jerusalem artichoke, pomegranate and Colonnata lardo, which the reviewer found well crafted but a little generous. The chocolate ganache with Sicilian pistachio emulsion was also a highlight. The room is bistro-style, with an extensive wine list and outdoor seating.

History
good quality, good value cooking
Its location in the "Quartier des Acacias," slightly outside the center of Carouge, hardly earns "L'Agape" any points. But its charming bistro-style setting, competent service, extensive wine list, and above all its excellent cuisine certainly do. Chef Jérémy Verqueire presents a small menu featuring a mix of regional and international dishes. During our winter visit, the scallops with a radish variation and savory dashi were delicious. For the confit pork, the chef served Jerusalem artichoke (fermented, as purée and chips), pomegranate seeds, a pomegranate reduction, along with strips and an emulsion of Colonnata lardo—well crafted, though perhaps a touch too much of a good thing. Conversely, we thoroughly enjoyed the less ambitious but excellent dessert, featuring chocolate ganache and a Sicilian pistachio emulsion.
