LA CIBOULETTE €€
( 04 50 45 74 57; www.laciboulette-annecy.com ; cour du Pré Carré, 10 rue
Vaugelas; menus €31-46; Tue-Sat) Such class! Crisp white linen and gold-kissed
walls set the scene at this surprisingly affordable Michelin-starred place, where chef
Georges Paccard cooks fresh seasonal specialities such as slow-roasted Anjou pi-
geon with Midi asparagus. Reservations are essential.

CONTRESENS €€
( 04 50 51 22 10; 10 rue de la Poste; mains €15; Tue-Sat; ) The menu reads
like a mathematical formula but it soon becomes clear: starters are A, mains B,
sides C and desserts D. The food is as experimental as the menu - sun-dried to-
mato, Beaufort cheese and rocket salad burger, mussel ravioli, 'deconstructed'
Snickers - and totally divine. Kid nirvana.

A Lofty Lunch
Feast on fine cuisine and even finer mountain views at these high-altitude favourites.
Le 3842 ( 04 50 55 82 23; Aiguille du Midi; mains €12-21; restaurant mid-Jun-mid-
Sep, snack bar all year) offers stylish summit dining and drinking with knockout views at the
top of the Aiguille du Midi in what claims to be Europe's highest café.
At Le Panoramic ( 04 50 53 44 11; Le Brévent; menus from €15; mid-Dec-Apr &
late Jun-Sep) , views of Mont Blanc are included with a menu of cheeses, cured meats
and BBQ fare. For something a little more frugal, a vin chaud (hot mulled wine) on the ter-
race will do just fine.
L'ÉTAGE €€
( 04 50 51 03 28; 13 rue du Pâquier; mains €14-22, 3-course menus €18) Cheese,
glorious cheese... Fromage is given pride of place in spot-on fondues and raclette
(a combination of melting cheese, boiled potatoes, charcuterie and baby gherkins)
at L'Étage, where a backdrop of mellow music and cheerful staff keep the ambience
relaxed.
