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.

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.

Good service - very friendly!…read more Tried the linguine with bolognese and it was pretty good. Not too salty and had decent depth of flavor, however the sauce to noodle ratio was a bit off. Seemed to be so many more noodles than sauce that you really run out of sauce and then the noodles are not flavored. Would have been better with more sauce. The other dish Moelleux du Revard was heated reblochon cheese with charcuterie meats, pickles, walnuts and boiled potatoes. If you like melted hot cheese and such things... We also tried the vegetarian pizza. Good flavor, very melty cheese and was very nice with the spicy oil that they give you on the side.

You should go here for some good Savoy local food and fish dishes. Good size portions, great tastes and the local products - we went for white fish filet and homemade reblochonade. I would recommend the latter for everyone who is first time in France or in Savoy. Strawberry tiramisu is wonderful too. There is only one waiter at the disposal, so it might take same time to place and to get your order, but it is not really critical.

The food was delicious, the portions were generous enough even for my appetite and the prices were rather reasonable.

Lunch here was a bit a disaster, so why still two stars? I visited first about two years ago, and…read morehad good food and friendly service -- a solid four-star experience. This most recent visit was a one-star experience, and giving the benefit of the doubt; maybe they just had a really bad day. As a starter, the three preparations of foie gras were just ok. The seared was nothing special and the terrine did not seem the best quality (e.g. it was crumbly in texture). The "creme brulee" was too sweet and not good. The duck was well prepared, but the sauce was overly sweet (thankfully it was on the side). The weird part of the dish was the veggies were all in puree form, and really none of them were good. The potatoes were gratin dauphinois, and somehow even this was messed up -- dry and tasteless. My friend's tuna tartare was very strange in flavor -- something like fennel. Whatever it was, the combination was bad, and it was left unfinished. It also didn't help that the fish didn't seem fresh, and had almost a gray color. Again even the sides were kind of messed up, as the greens had a sauce that tasted too much of horseradish. At least the fried potatoes were good. This restaurant never had the nicest ambiance -- it's kind of a tacky mishmash or themes. On top of that for the price, you would hope for much better flavors and quality. Maybe they just had a really bad day, but there was very little redeemable about the recent experience.
