La Galejade

La Galejade restaurant at the entrance to the old town of Annecy is the first of three restaurants on the banks of the Thiou. A simple, but very decent kitchen. We eat well, we are well served. The service is fast and well organized despite the full room. A very varied and simple bistro cuisine.

​

Taverne Fischer

La Taverne Fischer is the restaurant among the first 3 restaurants in the old town after the Halles bridge to apply for a semi-gourmet service. The servers are in uniform with bow ties and the service is stilted. The Fischer Tavern is very successful. The cuisine is strongly influenced by Alsace. It would suit those who like a semi-gastronomic setting.

This street is very popular in Annecy. It is downright an essential artery when you discover the old town of Annecy. Entirely pedestrianized, it is full of shops of all kinds. Restaurants, bars, ice cream parlors, creperie, souvenir shop and shopping. A very famous singer in France even owns a restaurant there.

This street is a real walk in the Annecy of the Middle Ages.

The Olivier restaurant in the courtyard of the meadow square is a rather friendly and affordable traditional restaurant. The service is professional and pleasant.
