When you see the location, you'd never guess that this was a (Michelin) star-apparent. The food is excellent, with the highest quality fresh produce. The setting is refined and attractive, with well-starched white tablecloths. For 32 Euros, you get a menu of choices for an entree (Fr. for appetizer or first course), a main course and a dessert (12 excellent choices) or a cheese platter. Wines are available by the bottle or the 1/4 or 1/2 pitcher. A 1/4 pitcher of Chardonnary was only 7 Euros, quite a bargain. All this contrasts with the center of Geneva, where a plate of pasta and a glass of house wine will easily set you back 50 Swiss francs. For an entree tonight, I had the Coquilles St. Jacques (scallops), broiled on zucchini with a excellent sauce and accompanied by fat lightly steamed spears of fresh asparagus. It was wonderful!Dinner is accompanied by a starter plate of nibbles -- vegetables and olives and a homemade dip, then an amuse bouche -- several tiny dishes including house foie gras, and a basket of an excellent variety of fresh local breads.Service-- proper and unobtrusive. There is a new bus line (#61) from the center of Geneva (Gare Cornavin) that stops at the corner (where Gaillard ends and Ambilly begins) of Rue de Geneve and Chemin des Belosses in Ambilly. Walk 4-5 minutes to the right, down des Belosses to arrive at Le temps de vivre. It's really worth a trip from Geneva, or if you're driving from Geneva to Mont Blanc, Chamonix or the Haut Savoie.
