We had incredible dinner here last night. The variety of tastes and dishes was mind blowing! The…read morechef is a flavor genius. There was only 1 menu served and it was a surprise. 15 dishes later our palettes were expanded in more ways that I thought possible. You never knew what was coming next or when it was going to end! Chef Veyrat grows or finds locally all of his organic ingredients. He is there to meet guests as well as being very hands on along with his staff when tending to his guest's experiences. Very unique restaurant with a variety of rooms decorated with unique designs using only local materials. Even the table setting used local materials like rock and wood plates, The restaurant is worth the drive but I would highly recommend staying the night because after 4 hours of eating dishes paired with wine the drive back to Annecy was a feat in itself. We were there at 7:45 pm and finished past midnight. The roads are dark and very curvy.

Wonderful. Up on the side of a hill above Talloires, where we were staying. We parked by the…read morepigpen (two pigs) and walked up the road a little. We didn't have a reservation, so they had us sit outside (near the goat pen). It was a little chilly -- bring a jacket, or, like the family next to us, a couple of blankets. We had raclette and cheese fondue, so we were warmed by the apparatus of both. And the heavenly taste of melted local cheese and wine, crusty bread, white wine, potatoes, and a simple and delicious green salad. Finally, for dessert, we had the lemoniest lemon sorbet EVER with vodka poured over it. It was all so delicious and welcoming and beautiful.

Have you ever eaten so much cheese that you thought you would start to look and smell like cheese?…read moreNo? Thank God for that. What a nightmare it would be. But I have to admit that I made a very decent attempt on my recent holiday to France. This restaurant was the second time we went for the all singing and dancing cheese menu in just short under 24 hours. It's located in small town in the French alps ... where else ... and one just fall out of the actual place of cheese production, straight into this little gem. The place is very rustic, all wood and alpine schnick schnack. As it was mid-November and as such out-of-season, we had to make sure they were open after 2pm, as normally restaurants only open a few hours over lunch. We were lucky with the opening times and we took full advantage. The set menu for 18 Euros included a massive salad starter (with cheese cubes), followed by either salmon or sausages in white sauce (with melted cheese), plus a crème brulee or fromage blanc. What more to you want for that price? As we were a big group some people opted out of the menu and went for tartiflette. Basically creamy melted cheese with potatoes, onions and bacon, or for vegetarians: cheese with potatoes and onions. Oh yes, I mentioned the cheese first, as it was mainly melted cheese with some potatoes in it. One could get either normal cheese or goats cheese. I had to admit defeat and fished out the potatoes and left a good amount of cheese ... but do not worry ... no cheese was left over on this holiday. Someone at the end of the table finished it. What a great meal this was. This place is very friendly and in the usual European way they are very relaxed around people who like to linger over their food and stay at the table for hours. Very nice indeed.

This has to be the best hotel and restaurant we've ever stayed in. It's close to the lake, our…read moreroom has a view of the lake and a balcony with two chairs and a table, we had cocktails before an exquisite dinner and our room is spacious, clean and comfortable. It's a hidden gem! We drove around the lake and most of the hotels are across the street but we found this one by accident and it's lakeside. I couldn't be happier staying here and our dinner was so superb that the chef must have a Michelin star and if he doesn't, then the Michelin inspectors need to dine here asap! If you're ever in southeastern France, this place is a must.

They served a creamed carrot amuse-bouche that was wonderful, especial with my Veuve Rose. Then I had tuna tartare, local fish fillet, and an exotic fruit and chocolate mousse dessert. Everything was delicious! I think it's quite expensive so we probably wouldn't have gotten that much if it wasn't included. Such a picturesque place on lake Annecy! Would highly recommend it!
