Japanese and French Fusion – Umami

I love when the summer comes…There are a lot more places to go, enjoy a drink and have an excellent meal… I love the beach clubs, the pool gardens and the great restaurants that pop up throughout the season…

Life becomes as light as the lake breeze…

Talking about an excellent meal… I can never have enough of the sushi prepared at the Umami’s restaurant at the President Wilson Hotel in Geneva.

Every year, I wait anxiously for its opening every beginning of summer…

You will understand why!!

First… it is seasonal… Summer only !!! Run and enjoy, otherwise you must wait a whole year…

Second… location, location, location!!!! At the pool garden of the President Wilson hotel… Invitation to delightful sunny days or stunning moon and starred nights…
