    I recently relocated to Annecy from the United States. I come from Los Angeles, which has a…read moretremendous amount of ethnic diversity. There is ethnic diversity in Annecy and France, but I was disappointed in the lack of ethnic diversity in cuisine. I have always loved different Asian cuisines and considered myself lucky for living in Los Angeles, but there are few Asian restaurants in Annecy. I discovered Fan House as it was adjacent to the Airbnb where I was staying. I was pleasantly surprised by the outstanding food. It was far superior to almost every Chinese restaurant that I have dined at during my whole life in the Los Angeles area! Like most French restaurants you are able to taste every ingredient in the dish. It is hard to find a bad restaurant in France and this restaurant meets the high standards that the French are known for. I highly recommend Fan House. You will not find this restaurant by just walking down the street. It is tucked away in a passageway with other little shops off of Rue Sommelier and Rue Vaugelas. Look for the marquee of the Le Garage Disco and it will be right inside opposite Le Garage. It is also adjacent to the Pré Carré in the heart of the city near Bonlieu. I have since, dined there several times and very pleased every time that I have gone.

    From the owner: Nouveau restaurant fan house vous propose une cuisine chinoise traditionnelle et familiale.

    This restaurant is decorated with hilariously tacky oriental motifs; I visited with a friend from…read moreChina and she said you'd never see such overdone decor over there. In any case, the food was good and a welcome relief for an Asian palate after weeks of travel in meat-cheese-and-potato-heavy regions of Europe. The menu has a wide range of dishes. The service was decent but as is the norm in Chinese restaurants, if you need something you may be better off waving at your waitress rather than politely waiting for her to come to your table. There are other Asian options in Annecy; this restaurant was very authentic and well-priced, and probably the best strictly Chinese food in town.

    Le Peking is rather old fashion Chinese restaurant. This kind of Chinese restaurant is rare and…read moreonly exist in small foreign cities outside urban areas. If you are craving for Chinese food, there is not much choices in Annecy. The simple dishes like stir fry noodles with bean sprout 芽菜仔炒麵, and house fry rice 揚州炒飯 are done fairly well. However, the roast duck and the sizzling beef are dissapointed. The roast duck is overwhelmed with watery sauce, which they can make a soup out of it. The sizzling stir fry beef to me is only a gimmic than anything else. Overall, the service is great The portion of each dish is smaller than I expected. In terms of quality, and presentation, this restaurant will have a hard time competing in modern urban city like Paris, Vancouver, London, and Toronto. However, because it is locations around Annecy you don't really have much other similar choice around here.

    I have been making the annual trek to Zermatt from San Francisco for decades. Feeling like Asian…read morefood after the big mountain lunches we decided to try China Garden many years ago. Wow! Now we eat Chinese for more than half of the Zermatt dinners! I have literally been to dinner at China Garden over 30 times - the food is just amazing and flavorful and there are real actual spicy dishes. The chefs are all from China and are quite professional! My favorites are the Szechwan Beef, Spicy Asparagus, dry string beans, Duck, and Mongolian Lamb. They are all wonderful.

    Pros: The service was exceptional. Our server was friendly and made a recommendation for the…read morenoodles. The noodles were delicious. The leeks in the lamb dish were amazing. The egg-roll while tiny (two bites per egg-roll), came with three sauces which was cool. Outdoor seating was available and there were heat lamps making it cozy. They brought out braziers with candles for ambiance and to keep the food warm. Our nephew was under dressed for the weather and the waitress offered him a blanket. Cons: It was very expensive. I understand Switzerland is expensive. I understand Zermatt in particular is expensive. I know the dollar is not worth as much these days. But we paid over $70 per person which included one entree each, 1 and 1/3 egg-roll per person, an order of noodles split three ways and two beers. Worse, the portions were on the small side and we left hungry seeking dessert elsewhere. Also, and this was no fault of the restaurant, but Switzerland allows smoking outdoors, so towards the end of our meal, another patron came outside to smoke, and that really put a damper on the end of our meal since that's all we could smell.
