Vincent Favre-Félix has opened the doors of this stylish, modern villa abutting an historic edifice of Annecy-le-Vieux. The chef, who has the build of a rugby player and boasts a fine regional CV (Père Bise at Talloires, Auberge de l’Eridan and Auberge du Lac at Veyrier-du-Lac), never lacks in subtlety or delicacy. Always guided by regional produce, his culinary gifts are expressed boldly and creatively, through beautifully designed ‘carte blanche’ menus that also unveil his signature dishes, such as arctic char smoked in hay. In summertime, make a beeline for the exquisite patio in the flower-decked garden and savour this fine dining experience.
