Les Galets - Yvoire

I was here in august during a warm day. the service was friendly and fast enough. the place was clean and comfortable. eating, even if I had only one crumb with the ice, was very nice and well presented.

When you step off the boat in Yvoire, you don’t have to walk far to find a place to have a decent meal. However, if you want to avoid the packed eateries where aggressive waiters run around like crazy serving stressed patrons, go a bit...farther and take a little side street that takes you to Glacier Les Galets. Now mind you, here you won’t find the usual, overpriced (lukewarm) spungy perch filets from far-away lakes with greasy, (freshly) thawed French fries. Instead, this is where friendly staff surprises you with reasonably priced (minute-prepared), delicious gourmet dishes of salads, galletes and crêpes made with care and lovingly presented in a relaxed atmosphere… smile included. The place is relatively small but there is a large, charming terrace in the back. And on the way out, don’t forget to leave with a scoop of great tasting, house-made ice cream. There are dozens of flavors and the servings are generous.

We went here after a great boat ride from Nyon. The main shop was busy, so we decided to go out the back where there are plenty of tables. I would recommend you make your own choice of ice cream as it works out cheaper....In fact you can have one ice cream with 9 balls in it if you really want to share.

We tried a few restaurants in Yvoire when we stayed for 3 nights. We stayed in Villa Cecile where the restaurant is outstanding . The other restaurants we tried at lunchtime were poor apart from Les Galets. Les Galets not... 'special ' just a good restaurant. The dressing on the salad was rather sharp service was good and the rest of the meal good.

Sitting on the terrace in the garden. personal very friendly and professional. menu card very worked up in galets, crêpes waffeln, etc. if they are prepared galets with cheese toppings to get some good tasting calories. beautiful place in a tourist...centre
