  • 1. Auberge du Père Bise

    $$$$

    For anyone who's never dined in one of France's grand old restaurants, this two-star stunner would be a fine start, set in a century-old chalet-inn in the tiny storybook village of Talloires on the incomparably beautiful Lac d'Annecy. From start to finish you'll be pampered in the old style. Although chef Jean Sulpice has updated the cuisine, dishes like veal carpaccio with white caviar and horseradish cream; poulet de Bresse stuffed with truffles and foie gras; and steamed lake fish with scallops, fennel, and ginger beurre blanc feature all the luxe ingredients that distinguish French gastronomy. On a warm day, a table on the gracious terrace overlooking the lake is a must. Prices are not for the fainthearted, but good memories are priceless.

    Set back near the river in Annecy's picturesque old town, this casual, laid-back restaurant is a place the locals would rather keep to themselves. From the first amuse-bouche to dessert, diners can't wait to taste what's next from a cuisine anchored in French technique and enhanced with plenty of far-flung influences. Prices are gentle for this quality of food and its a favorite in town, so be sure to reserve.

    $

    Don't be deceived by this rustic-casual eatery's plain, monochrome decor and laid-back atmosphere—here the color is on your plate in a veritable rainbow of hues, textures, and flavors. The more people the merrier as the small plates listed on the handy blackboard menu are meant to be shared (or not) with a recommended minimum of two per person. But of course, you'll want to try them all.

    Here a long granite table invites conviviality, an essential part of dining according to the gifted chef and sommelier, who together make every effort to assure a standout dining experience. Using organic seasonal produce from local farmers, the freshest seafood from the Brittany coast, and quality grass-fed meats, chef Jérôme Bigot crafts wildly inventive dishes that send food lovers into raptures, complemented by Marie-Hélène Tardif's expert wine pairings and natural wine discoveries. On nice days, the cobbled terrace out front is a welcome addition to the minuscule dining room, which doubles as a wine cave.

  • 5. Le Clos des Sens Restaurant

    $$$$

    This serenely refined dining room—with an impressive three-Michelin stars— has long been a pilgrimage stop for food-lovers and a delightful surprise for those who happen upon it while visiting Annecy. Set at the heights of the village, the beauty of the place is reflected in sculptural dishes crafted from ingredients—both cultivated and wild—strictly sourced within 100 km of the restaurant (not to mention wines from Alpine vineyards). Each gem-like dish is accompanied by an infusion, whether bouillon or herb-and-vegetable, to further complement the poetry on your plate. Whether you dine by the fireplace in winter or in the beautiful garden in summer, be sure to allow plenty of time for lunch or for dinner—this is an experience to be savored.
