I came here for dinner with friends without a reservation my first night in Annecy. Le Freti is…read morelocated in the historic part of Old Town and have been around for decades. The highly regarded restaurant is a sought out destination for many who are seeking traditional Alpine cuisine. Their menu is extensive and features a variety of fondues and other alpine classics that use fresh, unpasteurized, raw-milk farmhouse cheeses from local alpages and artisans. The restaurant itself has a warm atmosphere, with a rustic-tavern style design that contribute to an alpine feel. We ended up sitting outside and really enjoyed it. The service was good, efficient, and the servers do a good job helping guests navigate the menu. I would recommend getting a reservation in advance. We were lucky to get a table as walk-ins with no wait, but we noticed that a line started forming during our meal for other walk-in parties. Le Freti is known for their signature dish La Brisgotte, which is traditional Savoyard fondue that is served directly inside a large, hollowed out warm, crusty loaf of bread. We knew we had to order this when we arrived as it was too unique not to. All of opted for the Savoyard Brisgotte which included white wine, 12-month aged Comte, 24-month aged Comte grande reserve, tarentaise cheese wheel, and matured emmental, served with salad, cold cuts, potatoes, and potatoes wrapped with bacon. This was by far one of the most impressive and delectable things I have ever eaten. The fondue was absolutely amazing, with so much rich, savory flavor. It was perfectly luscious and paired perfectly with all the accoutrements. The bacon wrapped potatoes were a delight, but the prosciutto was also very good. The loaf of bread it came was also very good and we enjoyed ripping pieces off and putting the fondue on it. I will note that in order to order any of their fondues, a minimum of two people must order it at the table. The three of us ended up splitting the two person fondue and we found it to be plenty for all of us. To round out this fabulous meal, we ordered the Chocolate Melt which was essentially dark chocolate fondue served with marshmallows and fruit. This was rich, smooth, and just divine. We ran out of marshmallows and fruit before finishing the fondue and manager was kind enough to give us more marshmallows--an example of their excellent, attentive service! I also enjoyed an Alpine spritz with my meal and it too was very good, would recommend. I cannot say enough good things about this whole experience as it was one of my favorite, most memorable meals of the summer! The food was absolutely amazing and their signature La Brisgotte is certainly worth the hype and praise. The fondue was excellent and everything that came alongside it was delicious as well. I enjoyed the chocolate fondue at end and thought it was the perfect size. The portion sizes are very generous, the prices are justified, and we left feeling full and completely satisfied. Alongside the amazing food, the whole experience from the service to the atmosphere is also phenomenal. If you are in Annecy, this should be at the top of your list for fondue--it is totally worth it.

Only our stomachs. And they're pretty damn honest. As soon as my girlfriend and I walked into L'Alpin, we were pleasantly surprised at the chic-but-warm decor and cheery smiles from the staff. The place was bustling - an indication of the restaurant's growing popularity - and miniature fake pine trees hung from the ceiling. We did not question them. They were seasonal and somehow served the atmosphere. Forget about creative design. Let's get to the food, which was an experience in and of itself. We ordered raclette, accompanied by a small charcoal grill, squeezed onto our table - a sort of cozy tableside fire. Traditional to the region, this meal was served with potatoes, various meats, and greens. Crème brulée for dessert. Everything rich, tasty, and nicely arranged. Autre chose? Reasonable prices. Wine, wine, wine... Like I said, don't question it! Book a table at L'Alpin.

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.
