Vegan in Geneva: Gives a Fork

Six pani puri with four pots of fillings

Finally, some really creative and exciting vegan options in Geneva! Gives a Fork was our top pick in the city. It’s all vegetarian, but the vegan options are plenty and are clearly labelled. There are small plates, tacos, and main dishes. We followed our server’s advice and got three small dishes and two taco dishes to share (one of the small dishes was a vegetarian one for non-vegan Mother HH, so I’m not reviewing it here). That made for a slightly light meal for us – if we’d come in hungry, we definitely would have needed one more plate.

A bowl of battered fried mushrooms topped with creamy sauce and garnishes

We loved the chan clan, which was crispy mushrooms with satay sauce. The coating was very crispy and thin, and the satay was really flavoursome. The mushrooms weren’t swimming in sauce, so they kept their crispiness and had a nice texture.

The pop it like it’s hot was also really good. It is basically pani puri. All the components were nice and tasty, especially the potato and spicy chutney. It was a bit lacking in texture though, we thought that some potato chunks would have been better than a smooth puree.

Two tacos topped with mock meat, guacamole, and garnishes

We also got the rendang and harmony tacos. I’m not sure why there were two layers of taco! The rendang was really well seasoned and I loved the texture of the meat.

Two tacos topped with black beans, beer battered tofu, vegan labenh, and garnishes

And perhaps my favourite was the happy tacos. The beer battered tofu was excellent, the batter was so well seasoned. The other components were tasty too, it was a well balanced bite.

There is indoor and outdoor seating. Service was welcoming and fast. It was a popular spot, so you might want to book a table. I assume every vegan in Geneva is in here!

The meal perfectly fuelled us for another amazing/traumatic football match that night as we watched England take it down to the wire, about one minute from losing the semi-final, before a last minute goal and a cool Chloe Kelly penalty (is there any other kind?!) sent us sailing through to the final. Top food memories, top football memories!
