Le Kiosque des Bastions, a Geneva institution
located in the heart of the historic park

A heritage site
became an iconic table

For over a century, the Kiosque des Bastions has been a part of Genevan life. This historic, listed bandstand stands as an architectural and cultural landmark in the Parc des Bastions, a true green lung in the heart of the city.

Taken over in 2019 by Little Big Food, and entirely renovated at the end of 2021-early 2022, the building now combines historical heritage and contemporary design: ancient parquet flooring, period ironwork, terrazzo, large glass roofs and art deco touches create an atmosphere that is both elegant and timeless.

A meeting place for Genevans for generations, the Kiosque has become a friendly and cultural institution, with a table recognized for its quality and service, where people come for a morning coffee, lunch on the terrace, an after-work cocktail, dinner with friends, a festive evening, or a Sunday brunch.

history

An elegant and well-preserved architecture
Le Kiosque is distinguished by its bright spaces, iconic rotunda, immense central bar and large bay windows opening onto the park's ancient trees.

A vibrant cultural and artistic setting
Because of its location and history, the Kiosque des Bastions has always been a hub of cultural life: musical events, artistic collaborations, lively afterworks, and ephemeral exhibitions. It embodies the spirit of an open and creative Geneva.

A unique terrace in the centre of Geneva
With seating for 150 and unobstructed views of the park, its terrace is one of the most sought-after in the city, perfect for lunches in the sun, evening cocktails, or simply reading a newspaper in a peaceful setting.

For the everyday lives of Genevans
Breakfast, coffee, business lunches, aperitifs, dinners with friends: Le Kiosque adapts to all times of the day and attracts a varied clientele – local regulars, families, professionals, walkers, and tourists.

For private and professional events
Thanks to the modularity of its spaces (rotunda, tea room, main hall, terrace), the Kiosque can host both celebrations and institutional events. From conferences to weddings, each reception benefits from the support of Little Big Food's events department.
