What a gem.  Exceptionally friendly welcome from Sandrine and her staff who clearly LOVE what they do and fabulous food worthy of the Michelin stars.  Unique achievement -- it's both very sophisticated and exceptionally chill and friendly.  Wow.

Beautiful location, warm hosts, and delicious food. One of our best meals in Annecy. Sandrine has the amazing people person ability to make you feel like a loved close friend. You get to have your appetizers and a cocktail outside to enjoy the beautiful view, then retire to the inside for the main courses.  If you can’t drink alcohol they can make you a nonalcoholic version of their house cocktail that tastes basically like a mojito, my favorite. Highlights for me are the 2 appetizer courses with that savory cake-bread (a canelés?), tomato 3 ways dish, the veal main course with crispy caramelized onions and sweetbread, the lemon meringue dessert and the chocolate stunner at the end. A lot of other restaurants try to do the “single ingredient 3 ways” and I haven’t found them to be as successful as what I’ve eaten here. I would love to return next year for another amazing meal with them. Thank you so much!

Here expect nothing less than a perfect harmony of taste and beauty in every dish!
You feel welcomed on a one-of-a-kind journey in the amazing owners’ / chef’s home, up in the mountains.
My partner and I are vegetarian and this place knew how to take you up in the mountains! Most dishes are inspired by the local, fresh produce grown in their farm.
Overall, in entry, sipping a cocktail with the mountain view was the ultimate start, but it only gets better with the food and service throughout the night. Definitely recommend it!
