Thank you Yelp for helping my friends and I find out about Le Pichet!…read more Holy fondue! When we arrived in Annecy we were determined to find a fondue restaurant since that is what the region is notorious for. We were a party of five and we were quickly assisted when we arrived. There is indoor and outdoor seating available for you to choose, but we opted for a table inside just so we wouldn't have to wait. The patio was pretty busy when we arrived. The staff was super friendly and were happy to speak english with us. We did a total of three fondues for the five of us. We ordered two fondues of one type and then one of another, so they combined the two portions into one pot. I think it was the perfect amount for the five of us. It's kind of hard to gage how much to order and whether it will be filling enough or not when it comes to this. To complement the cheese we ordered some side dishes like small house salads and charcuterie boards, just so we weren't eating only cheese. The house pitcher of wine is cheap and delicious. Someone in our table ended up ordering a bottle of wine they didn't end up liking and spent a couple of euros on it. This was some of the best fondue I've ever had and would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to have a local delicacy in Annecy. Cheese lovers will adore it.

We ended up sitting upstairs because it was busy, but we got to see people eating the wheel which is apparently only allowed upstairs. Also the giant spoon is not a spoon, but is actually used to turn off the fire so don't be confused. The fondue was good. They provide a lot of bread to dip in it. Meat pieces also great selection. We had our 6 year old daughter with us who was fairly tired. She fell asleep inside as the atmosphere is fairly quiet.

The waiters were super kind…read morein explaining what everything was and how everything worked and we ended up ordering: Fondue savoyarde - you really can't go wrong with cheese fondue, it's cheese and it's delicious! This cheese had a good funk about it and had a pretty strong alcohol-y taste, but if you're not a fan of that, it goes away if you add a little sugar to whatever you're eating. Saucisson sec artisanal - the potatoes and bread are complimentary and unlimited, but it's extra if you want any meats or veggies. The saucisson sec artisanal had a good selection of different meats and were so delicious with the cheese. One plate was a good amount for four people but we also could have finished a second. Raclette fermiere au lait cru - if you're only gonna pick one dish, this is the one I would recommend. The cheese is a lot more mild, it also comes with the potatoes and bread, and it makes for a great photo! The only downside is that you have to wait for the cheese to melt before you can scrape it onto your food, so there's a lot of waiting happening, especially if you are dining with several people! Everything is really heavy so if I came again, I would definitely order some veggies. And wear clothes that don't absorb all that funky cheese smell!

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€!

It looked wonderful right on the quayside and the food was not bad at all, but the service was abysmal and the owner/manager unprofessional. We were settled in and half way through our food, when he asked us if we would move as they had another party in. We refused as we had booked well in advance for this and did not want to be disrupted in the middle of our meal. The waitress kept forgetting things we asked for and at the end, when we wanted to pay our bill, there was no-one to be seen. We eventually went to the reception and all the staff were standing around chatting. My friend made a remark about it and as we crossed the road to leave, the manager/owner shouted after us something less than polite. I should really have given this a 'poor' rating.

It is a French baked potato dish with potatoes, reblochon cheese, lardons, and onions. Highly recommend this if you've never tried it before! Everything was pretty good; however, the whole time we were dining, there was a very strong odor that was really unpleasant. I'm not sure what exactly it was or where it came from but it was a mix of cigarettes, food(?) burning, and other smells. I'm not sure if it was just this particular day, but if I'm back here, I would either sit outdoors or take food to go. The area is in a beautiful location with lots of people and their dogs walking around restaurants, cafes, and shops.

If I had a do over, would have ordered the salmon tartare as it looked incredible fresh and it seemed like every other table ordered it! Pix coming!
