We ended up seated on the second floor, which made for an even more enjoyable and comfortable experience. Our waitress was very polite and attentive throughout the meal, which we appreciated. The food itself was okay, not my favorite overall, but it was still enjoyable enough. I'd definitely consider going back again to try some of the other dishes, especially because the setting and service were so nice.

The one I like has the local cheese Bleu de Gex and walnuts. The set menus are good value. The people who run it are very nice to children. When we went and they'd closed for a private function they still let our desperate children use their loos. The last time we went we were late for the lunchtime opening on a bank holiday week end but they stayed open to feed us and didn't make us feel we had to rush to finish. It was only when we'd left and were wandering round town that we met them again and realised they must have shut up shop as soon as we'd left. They also do ice creams and drinks. They have a lovely patio for sunny days and good views of the old streets of Gex from the windows.

I didn't get a chance to ever eat the actual food here and only the pastries of which both were underwhelming. What's great about this spot is that it's cafeteria style. So you have stations and you can grab your tray and order at the made to order pizza station or curries or sandwich or juices. It was cool to see little mugs with chocolate pieces which you can get hot chocolate made in front of you. Seating can get crazy. Sometimes you'll have to share some tables because some tables are communal where we had an interesting encounter with three guys on their phones seemingly talking to someone on their phones....seemed like they were on speed dating or chat rooms. It was really interesting. Anyways, you may have trouble getting a large table, but be patient. There's also a restroom up here too which is nice. I wish I did get a chance to eat something other than the pastries, but at least it's cheap and fairly fast. If you want something faster, just go to the first floor and grab something from there.

OMG, how have I not discovered Manora before, and why have I not been eating lunch here EVERY DAY??…read more Manora is a food court covering a good portion of the 4th floor Manor Department Store. But don't let the "food court" description fool you, this is not your boring pizza-chicken-or-burger type of joint. The restaurant is comprised of islands of food stations, where they will cook/prepare your food behind the counter as you wait. The pizza station has bowls and bowls of fresh ingredients that you can choose yourself, the grill station has sausages, pork chops, skewers, schnitzels, and much more. You can either choose a fresh cut and wait while they grill it for you, and grab a pre-grilled portion if you're not feeling the wait. Nice sandwiches, an extensive salad bar, espresso station, and an enormous counter of desserts, asian stir fry station, and pretty much anything you can think of. The presentation is tremendously appealing, and prices are reasonable (I got away with a nice cut of fresh pork chop and a side serving of rice and grilled broccoli for about CHF16.50). Dining mate had jambalaya, which, as she put it, hadn't quite decided whether it wanted to be cajun or Asian (cajian...?). It's not the highest quality of food you can find, but I definitely did not feel like I was being gypped of my money, a feeling I get way too often here in Geneva. The very presentation of the food, and the option of creating my own dish piece-meal (and thereby having control over how much I actually spend) was almost an empowering experience, food-wise. We also had the whipped tiramisu and apple crumble, both sinfully delicious. It gets crowded during lunch, but it's mostly eat-and-go traffic, so you won't have to wait too long for a seat. Did I mention the panoramic view from the terrace on a sunny day is amazing?

You're already burdened with enough critical and quotidian decisions throughout the day. Why burden yourself with more? At Cafe de Paris there is a single set menu of steak frites with salad and wine. Simply show up and decide between rare, medium rare, or medium--then simply enjoy! There are three other decisions actually--(1) whether to sit indoor or outdoor (outdoor, of course, weather permitting), (2) when to tell the waiter to stop the endless deluge of freshly fried pommes frite, and (3) when to have for dessert.

This creperie is just off of Annecy's old town center. The interior of the restaurant is quintessentially French with just a few tables and a charming rustic French stone cottage vibe that goes right along with the entire Annecy experience. The Sourise (ham, emmenthal, onion, egg) was absolutely perfect. Paired of course with un cafe (coffee), it made for the perfect breakfast followed by the sweet crepe dusted with fine sugar. If you're looking for a tourist spot, this isn't it. It's for the locals, and French is the only language spoken here. Which is exactly why it's worth the effort. The owner was kind and patient with our lack of fluency and sometimes poor pronunciation. After you leave this charming creperie, take a walk around stunning Lake Annecy and the old town center.
