Great food, wine, and service
by SurfaceTravel about Évian Royal Resort
The restaurant is the main dining room of the Hotel Emitage, of the Evian Royal Resort. Note that this hotel is closed from 5 November 2009 until 31 May 2010. We had an amazing meal there one night. We ordered mainly French food and had some half decent wine. The service was top-notch and the staff able to read your mind. The room was quiet and I would say that the dress would be at least smart casual.
An added bonus was that though we weren't staying at the resort, they sent us back in the hotel car, free of charge, down to the Hilton in town where we were staying. (We should have stayed in the hotel here as well; we didn't know about this shuttle service.) Creamy lobster bisque

Evian is a quiet town but there are some fun things to do. Depends what time f year you go...
The hiking in the area is excellent - ranging from a gentle walk along teh lake to snow shoes in teh alps nearby.
There is a casino in Evian, with a very good restaurant attached. There are also some very good erstaurents in the centre.
You can do a full 'cure' including baths and mud treatments etc at the source (note that there is another source that is not commercialised - try it if you'er there, its just down the rad from teh free Cachat source)
YOu can get the ferry over to switzerland, if the weather is clear and there is snow then it's an amazing trip.
I would highly reccomend that you go walking or snow shoeing in the mid-mountain stations that are nearby.
If you hadn't guessed I've been to EVian several times and I reccomend at least 3 or 4 days to visit the area
