So finally the lid has been taken off what Francois Paul has been cooking up for a while. 

Im assuming this is a side project of passion and not a new career path....Ladies and Genlemen, welcome to the  "F-P Journe - Le Restaurant"

It has been a rumor for some time that FP wanted to open his own restaurant in Geneva. Those who know him well, knows he is a connaisseur of excellent food and wine. 

"F-P Journe - Le Restaurant" will be run by the well renowned Geneva based Chef Dominique Gauthier (formerly awarded Chef Of The Year). 

Located at  49 Rue de Rhone, Geneva - it is opening in november,  in a historic restaurant establishment with a conserved historic interior.

I look forward to trying this new place during my next visit to Geneva.

Bon Appetit!

Christian

Is this new?

Is this different from the previous location, or did Journe acquire an expanded ownership stake? I had dinner with F.P. and a crew from the company in the fall of 2017, and the restaurant on Rue de Rhone was said to be his at the time. Best, Tim
