ChristianDK shares exciting news about F.P. Journe's latest venture beyond horology: a new restaurant in Geneva. This post delves into the details of 'F-P Journe - Le Restaurant,' highlighting its esteemed chef and historic location. It offers a unique glimpse into François-Paul Journe's personal passions and how they intersect with his brand's identity.
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!

and the service should run like clockwork 😉
The minute steak… it should be perfectly cooked 😉
Would you choose the clock monsieur 😉
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
Dominique Gauthier is a fantastic Chef and a very gracious man. I was fortunate to dine at Le Chat Botté many times, the best place by far in Geneva based on my experience. For my birthday, the IWC Boutique was kind enough to invite the family at le Chat Botté. Dominique guided us through the kitchen and was very welcoming as usual. I wish Chef Gauthier only the best in his new venture. Kim
DOn't you know who I am??? Careful ChristianDK! Everyone is going to bother you for a reservation now. And everyone is going to complain to you when they can't get a reservation now! And how come I cannot get the exact table I want??? I almost always get Sinatra's table at Sinatra's favorite restaurant!
