We had an aperitif and were given the menus to choose our dinner and wine. The place is very pretty and well decorated. I loved the chairs!!! We got the degustation menu for 90 euros and asked the sommelier to recommend us a bottle of wine. The food was exquisite. Everything was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented on the dishes. First we got an amuse-bouche that was actually 3. Avocado cream, foie gras like a crème-brulée and a fruits snack in a spoon that I can't really describe, but very tasty. Second, foie gras poêlé. I'm not a fan of foie gras poêlé (I prefer natural) but they add a kind of syrup made of plums and made the dish more harmonical. Very nice! Third, scallop (cooked to perfection) with a cream and cardons. Very tasty!!!! Fourth, fish (omble from Lake Geneva!) and chanterelle mushrooms. Again, perfectly cooked and delicious, both the fish and the mushrooms. Fifth, another fish dish cooked to perfection with leek. Sixth, a palette cleaner made with green apple and lemon and small pop-in-your-mouth-sweets! Taste of childhood lol loved it! Seventh, chicken also perfectly cooked. I confess I was waiting for red meat at this point, but I believe they work with what is best available in markets on the day, so maybe that day it was the chicken. It was a very delicious dish with black truffles and vegetables. After we had cheese and dessert. The cheese cart is amazing with lots of choices. The desserts: panna cotta with raspberry and coconut and dark chocolate cake, macaron and pineapple sorbet. The check added up to 300 euros for 2 people. Totally worth for a meal that impressive. At time of the coffee we were offered a little tray of homemade sweets and were greeted by the chef on our way out of the restaurant. What a wonderful experience. I can't wait to go back! -- Victoria Genecand

We had the tartiflette which is a dish of potatoes, reblochon cheese, lardons and onions. It's a big gooey heavy mess but man, it's good! It's served with a green salad to make you feel virtuous and to lighten things up. Have it with a glass of red wine and you're in heaven! So the niggly bits. The seating is so tightly packed in that the waitstaff need to talk over your table to get other guests orders and then pass food over your table to get them to the right people. The people next to you can't leave without asking you to get up to let them out. It's highly annoying and not really a way to treat your guests. They also do that annoying thing is serving food on slate slabs. What happened to just using a normal plate? There is a reason plates are designed with an upturned lip. It keeps food from sliding onto the table. Regardless, the waitstaff did a great job and we had a delicious meal.

We loved Annecy!…read more There are so many beautiful restaurants tucked into alleys. Le Lila's Rose is beautifully decorated and close of our hotel. We came in here and were seated outside which is exactly what we wanted. It was warm, but too not hot and alfresco dining was perfect! We ordered a kir which is made with crème de cassis and champagne. It was a bit too sweet for my liking but still good - I finished it! My husband had the Aperol Spritz which was perfectly made! The perch meunière wasn't exactly how I pictured it but it was good! Lightly fried and served with fries and green salad. The veggie pizza was just good. I saw that lots of other patrons were ordering cheese fondue. We had just eaten the regional specialty for lunch that day - the tartiflette (potato casserole) so I was all cheesed out! Food wasn't great but the ambiance was wonderful. Just being in Annecy was super!

Our waiter was very friendly and nice.They had lots of fondues, pizzas and meats available, my parents got their barbecue meats that you cook yourself on a hot stone plate. The experience is very fun and similar to korean barbecue but not as smelly. The meats are not marinated in anything but they give you two dipping sauces: aioli and a tomato-y mayo sauce. Since their menu is not 100% in English, I wasn't sure if it was priced at ~19€ per person and the portion is fit for two people. But how we ended up interpreting it as was 19€ per person but you have to get two portions. When the food came, I think the 19€ price was meant for two people portions. I recommend clarifying with the waiter, some speak English! That 19€ also comes with fries and a salad. I ordered the dish of the day which was some sort of stew with chicken, ham and cheese - it was delicious with bread and only 10€!

The ambience rustic, down home, pub-ish (good cool vibe). Lots of seating, both indoor and outdoors. They have two outdoor seating areas ... the back with the 'river' view and the front is on the promenade (fun for people watching). The food was very tasty. Salmon Tartar: This was more for American' tastebuds ... mango and mango puree, generous chunks of avocado and fresh grapefruit segments. Very California. Delicious and light. Came with fries, which were a little under seasoned and cold (that was the case for all the fries we ordered as I think they make them in big batches as it's the typical accompaniment for most entrees). ESTA burger: Super flavorful, never thought of pairing it with tartar sauce. Must like tartar sauce, but if you do, YUM! The bun was toasted to perfection and held up nicely to the juice patty. Fresh green lettuce gave it the freshness and crisp too. Mussels with bacon and beer: That broth .... yum! You'd want to drink it; they give you a spoon so they know you want to drink it too. Dunk the bread into it to soak up the yummy salty, briny, addicting goodness. The mussels were plump and fresh too. Forgot the name, but its a sausage with cheese (raclette?) casserole. Salty, meaty, hearty, rich and filling. Order a side salad to cut the richness. It was very good, but I wouldn't be able to eat all of it due to how filling and cheesy it is.

We ordered a very good bottle of white Bordeaux from 2010 (85 Euros and worth it, but very reasonable wine was also available). Two gratis appetizers were brought unbidden to the table. The first was toasted bread with a pate of Chicken, and the second was a refreshing mixture of tomato, white and green asparagus, parsley. Wonderful! My wife's first course was was flour dusted and fried octopus, with a sweet Asian-influenced sauce. Mine was a brick of crab meat, green apple, celery, and lemon mayonnaise. Super good. Our mains were chicken in a lovely white sauce with mixed veggies for my wife. Mine was a fillet of flakey white grilled fish with vegetables. Very solid. After the mains we were offered a purée of mango to cleanse the palate. Yummy. Dessert were something special. Kim ordered a plate of chocolate. Doing cake, chocolate cream, and a molten centered chocolate cake, and chocolate ice cream. Our waiter told me that my dessert was the most delicious one in all France called the Louise Cup, in honor of the chef's daughter: vanilla crème brûlée base, spoon biscuit, mint tea jelly, raspberries and raspberry coulis, with whipped cream on top. Let me tell you, it was the best dessert in France! The restaurant is in an out of the way location but within easy walking distance of the train station and other central places. The ambiance was minimalist but fine. We were seated outdoors but there was also inside seating if we had wished. All the other patrons were local French families. We requested to meet the chef afterwards and he was very pleased by our love for his food. Highest recommendation!

They ran out of fish for the day, so my wife had to order the Salmon Terrine. If you like Terrine, you may like it, but neither of us really favor it, so we couldn't appreciate it as much. Basically, Terrine is a cold dish composed mainly of gelatin and other items they decide to mix in. It wasn't terrible, it's just something we aren't used to. The restaurant is a nicely-decorated one, and the service was fairly good. It's a little pricier than some other restaurants in Annecy, but nothing extravagant.
