LIMIRA LAHOUSSINE

This lakeside restaurant in Annecy is a hidden gem! We had the best fish dish of our whole European trip — the taste was phenomenal. Even though we were totally full from a big French lunch, we still polished off the whole plate. The lobster risotto was fantastic with fresh seafood. Definitely an unexpected lovely surprise.

An exceptional French restaurant! The service was excellent and very attentive, and the food was simply perfect incredible flavors and impeccable presentation. Highly recommended.”

The classic French 🇫🇷 brasserie concept has been given serious legs and attention by the famous culinary Bocuse family from Lyon. Now firmly established in the French culinary culture they have opened a series of these restaurants around French major cities. In general they deliver good quality food and service in a nice setting and atmosphere. The food was good but not a gastronomic journey but lived up to the concept. The staff were super friendly running fast to keep pace with the many requests! Make sure you book during peak holiday times, and if the weather is good then request outside on the terrace! Enjoy

A few details diminished an otherwise outstanding gastronomic experience: We were welcomed by an attentive waiter who took our order and assured us he would oversee the entire meal. For instance, he mentioned: "The wine will be served with the main course." We also agreed together that our aperitifs — a Port for my mother and a dry Martini for me — would be brought at the same time as the starter. That person then disappeared and was not seen again. Perhaps he had been called away to the main dining room, which was hosting a large group that day. My Martini was cleared away by the head waiter without him checking whether I had finished it. The main course was served without wine. In short: the instructions had simply not been passed on. The small table by the bar lost some of its appeal, overshadowed by a birthday celebration at a neighbouring table and the bustle of the large group next door. Catching the attention of a staff member proved difficult. One final detail, which, taken together with the above, carries an unfortunate implication: I settled the bill with a crisp, brand-new two-hundred-euro note. The change returned: three ten-euro notes — and two five-euro notes, both of them torn, taped, and held together with sticky tape. Was there a message in that from the cashier? The dishes themselves were excellent and, ultimately, outweighed these shortcomings.

I went there for Valentine’s Day. The menu was very nice. I loved each plate. I would say that the lava cake was not as good as I expected it to be. Yet everything else was amazing. Some members of staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was very pleasant with low lighting making it very fancy. Would recommend going for an occasion. Summer time it would be amazing as it’s basically in front of the lake.

First night dinner - service felt a little slow but the place was full on this Saturday night. Food was good. Tasty and accurate. Nice portion size. There is a little side yard for the antsy kids to play if needed. Atmosphere was lovely outdoors (but there is also indoor seating. Wine selection was just ok. The duck was fantastic. Boeuf also good. Cheese plate a little skimpy but fine for an appetizer for 4.

I still think about the tartare — it was exceptional. One of those dishes you genuinely miss afterwards.

Very slow service and poor quality meat let this place down. Add a bit price tag and you realise it's not great value. 2 of the main dishes were entrecote, both were terrible. Mine had 1 small tender bit surrounded by sinu and the rest of the meat was chewy and tough. The entrecote on the other plate was cut like a wedge, where the tender bit was thin as paper and the tough sections were thick and raw!. The young daughter of the hosts didn't complain, but didn't eat it. She offered it strings the take were all that tried to eat it couldn't. The third main was pork, and that was over cooked and dry. One main was prawn risotto, my wife enjoyed that. We ordered coffees that never came, but was on the bill after an hour they served us coffee as we were leaving! When I explained to my waiter the issues, he advised there were no managers around to assist and could not help us. Seriously poor excuse and poor service. $270 Euro's wasted over 4 hours to eat lunch. My parking was only valid for 2!
