Restaurant Cozna is another favourite for Taste of Savoie in Annecy – I’m running out of words to describe how lucky I am to have Annecy on my doorstep with all these amazing restaurants. I started writing this post just before the first confinement in France – so I put it on hold as sadly all restaurants have been closed in France on and off for around a year! The excitement now is that they are all open again and we can eat on the terrace and from the 9th June interiors of restaurants opened too!

I know I say this everytime I visit Annecy but it really is true…this is a wonderful and interesting medieval town with so many great places to discover, shops to visit, galleries to see and historic sites to enjoy. Not to mention the absolutely stunning freshwater lake surrounded by mountain scenery. Apart from all of these reasons to visit, there is a plethora of fabulous restaurants and cafes to eat in! So my latest find is Les Palettes and this is no ordinary restaurant/cafe, it is also a concept store and those who know me well will know that a melange of shopping and eating is my idea of heaven!

Les Cocottes by Christian Constant is conveniently situated at The Casino on the border of Switzerland and France just outside Saint Julien-en-Genevois. It is open 7 days a week and has easy parking. So, they are the practical reasons … The real reason is that this restaurant serves great food at good prices in a really good modern, light and spacious space with a brasserie style. From May to September the outdoor terrace which offers shade and faces the Jura is a very convivial place to dine. Et voila so many reasons to give it a try!

The first time I visited L’Ancolie Restaurant was in 2013 as you can see from my post below. Well now in November 2017 L’Ancolie has new owners. Olivier and Katia Gérard who have been at Le Petit Monde in Viry this year are the new proprietors. I have enjoyed several good meals at Le Petit monde and I look forward to enjoying many more at L’Ancolie. They opened on Tuesday and 2 days later I went for lunch! It was great to have the chance to chat to Olivier and Katia today, their enthusiasm for their new venture is evident. They are looking forward to adding their own signature to L’Ancolie in the New Year. They will close for the last 2 weeks of January for a refurbishment.
