If you ever find yourself in Lake Annecy, France, this charming mom-and-pop restaurant is an…read moreabsolute must. Despite the language barrier, the owner went above and beyond with her warm hospitality and made a real effort to communicate. Just use a translation app. We had the foie gras, and the balance of flavors in that dish was nothing short of gastronomical. The local lake fish was perfectly cooked. It tasted moist, clean, and packed with subtle, fresh flavors. Every dish felt thoughtful and well-rounded. French cuisine is beautifully complex, yet it somehow tastes so effortless. Each plate could easily take 5-10 minutes just to describe because of the layered ingredients and technique. Overall, this was an exceptional meal and a fantastic value for the quality. A hidden gem that captures the heart of French dining. I also fell in love with their citrus sorbet, so tart and refreshing yet sweet enough to satisfy. It was the perfect way to end an incredible meal. Great value for the quality!

Terrible. I went here because the michilin star restaurant down the street was closed for no…read morereason. This was the only restaurant open in the area. It was as pricey as a michilin star restaurant but many of the dishes were barely edible and the champagne was disgusting. My husband ordered a risotto dish that was just salt with undercooked rice and butter. I sometimes eat a bowl or rice and olive oil when I'm not feeling well, and this wasn't even as good as that. Moreover, I ordered a chicken dish, and it smelled and tasted like cat food. It was probably the worst restaurant experience we have had in France. The interior is beautiful and it was packed, so you would assume that it would be good. I saw many people order hamburgers, so maybe that's the only edible dish there.

Loved this place. My friend from Annecy suggested we eat here, said its one of her favorite places…read moreand I can see why. We sat outside and we werent crowded in like most places do. The waitress was very nice and the food was great. We ordered some type of appetizer that was made with fish and vegetables, fried with some dipping sauces, very good and not greasy. I ordered a white fish with fries and the fish was perfect, fries were not greasy or tasting of old oil...we drank great wine and ordered cafe gourmand for dessert. By far the best cafe gourmand ever. I would go back to this place for sure. The menu has the traditional savoyard menu items, salads, pastas, etc. A great selection for all.
