Le Belvédère - Annecy

Room was good and lake view was amazing. Let down by not having an iron or ironing board available and no real bar or restaurant. Reception was only open between certain times and there didn't seem to be anyone about which was a slight inconvenience when checking in and out.

Hotel very well located 15 minutes walk from the old town, with parking. The location of the hotel allows you to visit the city on foot or go for a stroll to visit the surrounding area by car It climbs a bit if you walk back from the town for the last 500m but the slope is not too steep. I took a room balcony with lake and mountain view The view is splendid. The room is large and well equipped. I didn't hear the neighbors, the place is very quiet. The welcome was very good, the breakfast was very attentive with the possibility of being served in the room on the balcony with a lake view. We had lunch in the designated area of ​​the restaurant, we also have a lake view and that is very pleasant too. The breakfast schedule from 8:30 a.m. (otherwise extra charge) can accommodate people who have to leave earlier. I haven't tried the gourmet restaurant. We enjoyed our stay in this establishment

Huge disappointment. A cold welcome and austere dishes. We came for dinner three years ago and it was a great experience that we wanted to share with friends. Unfortunately the establishment no longer had anything to do with what we knew. What a shame with a view like that!

This was our first dinner in France and we had been awake for more than 24 hrs. I was actually contemplating canceling the reservation and I am so glad that we didn't. It was the most beautiful night out and the view of the lake...was breathtaking we ate outside on the patio area. All the food was at least worthy of the one Michelin star rating. There were savory macarons to start and then we had the tasting menu. To start, we each had a glass of champagne, and you could see that they opened a bottle just for us. None of this flat champagne that has been sitting since the night before. This impressed me to begin with. We chose to try the tasting menu. For starters, I had the salmon and my husband had the foie gras . He is very fussy about foie gras and he was extremely impressed by this presentation. It was at another level as opposed to the normal bloc of foie that is so often served. The fish course with the flowers (often pictured here) was almost to pretty to eat. It was so fresh and interesting. There was also a very light veal course with a pea puree. We had two half bottles of local wine one red and one white, both of which were excellent. I believe that one should try the local wine as it generally pairs well with the regional cuisine. Then there was the cheese course, of which I cannot say enough. The region is known for its cheese and almost every one must have been represented. It was displayed beautifully and it was so difficult to choose which to sample. The wait staff that was in charge of the cart was extremely helpful in making the selection. I had the most visually amazing rhubarb orb for dessert. I was so impressed with the orb, that I can't remember what my husband had. Everything was just perfect. The service was impeccable, right down to the presentation of the bread selection. We ate at two and three star restaurants on this trip, yet we both agree that our dinner at Le Belvedere was the high light and something that we will remember forever. Thank you so much for giving us this wonderful experience.

A pleasant experience on a terrace overlooking lake Annecy and mountains behind. Hats offered to diners on terrace. Exceptional cheese selection. Very professional friendly service. Some very good courses. Lieu noir with jus de veal for example.
