About

L’Estaminet is a charming brasserie that has welcomed diners in the historic heart of Annecy since 2001. The venue blends two distinct atmospheres: a quiet, family‑friendly restaurant by day and a lively bar that stays open late into the night. Guests can enjoy the authentic Savoyard, French, and Belgian cuisine served in generous portions, alongside a curated selection of local wines and spirits. Stroll to either of its two terraces – one overlooking the calm lake and the other facing the bustling pedestrian street of the old town – and you’ll find the perfect setting for a relaxed lunch or a romantic evening. The restaurant’s friendly service, coupled with its traditional decor, creates an inviting environment that feels both nostalgic and contemporary. Reservations are encouraged during peak times, especially from late afternoon through midnight on Saturdays, yet the establishment remains flexible for walk‑ins on other days. With its central location, comfortable seating—including high chairs for families— and award‑winning cuisine, L’Estaminet remains a top choice for both locals and tourists seeking a quintessential French dining experience.
