Annecy Restaurants

The view from the terrace is beautiful, with a nice view on the St-François church. The inside of the restaurant is nice too.
In fact there is no difference between this restaurant and all the other restaurants.
The customer pays a fair price for fair food, but doesn't get pampered.

Favorite Dish: We had a grilled steak with pepper cream sauce, a glass of white wine and a small jar of red wine and paid only € 35 / 2 persons

Just like most restaurants in the old town, this one is a pizza restaurant. But apart the pizzas, all restaurants serve other dishes too.

Favorite Dish: My husband chose a pizza and I had a Savoyarde Salad. Looking good, but both were flavourless.

I chose this restaurant by virtue of its great location, which was right in the same building as my hotel.

I found the food to be satisfactory but not particularly memorable. There was a Plat du Jour on offer at a reasonable price, but I opted for a Salad Nicoise which was passable and filled the gap.

Service was OK and house wine was good.

We had 3 wonderful evenings at this great place for wine connoisseurs and just plain wine lovers. A large selection of wines on the menu and even more in the cellar! The two owners are knowledgable and can pick the best wines for your taste. The atmosphere is relaxed, down to earth and un-snobbish. Indoor or outdoor seating in a small alley off the beaten path. You´ll go back to the hotel (as we did) full of taste and dreams. We would recommend to try out the Coteaux du Loir 2004 and the Savigny-Les-Beaune 1999. Also they have a great selection of cheeses and hams which was enough for a late night dinner or snack. Website: www.barlacave.com

The first time we visited Lac Annecy and the delightful Old Town area of Annecy, we spotted our name on the river Thiou. It was a restaurant and they had fondue. How exciting! We love fondue and having our own name on the restaurant was too good to pass by so we stopped for dinner. We had a lovely seat outside watching swans on the river and all the people walking past.

Our waiter was a gem. He spoke at least five languages, one of them ours, and loved to talk about the area. When we told him we stopped because the restaurant shared our name, he immediately disappeared inside and returned with the restaurant business card and gave it to us.

Their specialty is Savoyard food . . . comfort food by anyone's standards.

Favorite Dish: We've returned a few times and always had the fondue so I have no idea what the other foods are like. I know the fondue is very good and the service has always been excellent. We took our oldest daughter once and she got the fondue too so we have zero experience with other foods on the menu but all three of us will recommend the fondue.

This is not a gourmet restaurant but the setting is sublime, the food (at least the fondue) is very good and the service excellent.

We return whenever we're in Annecy and that is a good recommendation.

It is the only brasserie in the area.It is at the coin Louis Chamontel/Avenue des Hirondelles,close to Hotel de Paris.
The owner is very kind.He is married with a portuguese woman.

Favorite Dish: The best one is shrimps à la portugaise.

After two consecutive nights of good dining at the La Petite Zinc Restaurant (25, Avenue des Romains) and Le Cheltenham Pub (19, Rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau) we decided to give La Bastille a try because of where it was located (beside the famous prison by the river).

La Bastille left us with a bad memory of what would have been a marvelous holiday in Annecy.

We were seated quite literally knocking elbows with other patrons but we could deal with that. What tipped the scales was bad service, horrendous food and an overcharged bill. My wife's Mushroom Tagliatelle had about 2 pieces of mushroom in it and completely tasteless as if someone forgot to add any seasoning. The evening ended most unpleasantly when the bill came - with the wrong value. It took a long time to rectify and we had to face down 3 unapologetic grouchy waiters who tried to convince us the bill was correct.

Don’t be fooled by the location and marginally cheaper menu.

Favorite Dish: I used to like pasta until I ate here...

All through this region you will find restaurants specialising in Savoyarde food.

Favorite Dish: The speciality of the area seems to be the dish called Tartiflette. Tartiflette consists of sliced potatoes, cream, reblochon cheese and lardons (bacon pieces) which are layered together and baked in the oven. This dish is filling and delicious and certainly very good in the cooler weather.
