Au Fidèle Berger
This traditional tearoom and cake shop with fantastic old-world feel is the spot for a sweet breakfast (around €8 .50), cakes and chocolates. Look for the old wood panelling façade.

Auberge du Père Bise
A big name on Lake Annecy's chic shores, this one is substantially more affordable in the form of a fab Sunday brunch that is a worth-every-last-cent feast. It's run by four generations of Bise since 1901; female chef Sophie Bise currently heads up the kitchen.

Aux Delices d'Enzo
What you see is what you get at this typically French restaurant-bar where the menu is handwritten and the Italian pasta home-made. Find it tucked under the arched colonnades of rue du Pâquier.

Brasserie des Européens
This popular brasserie with an authentic 1920s ambience is known for the mountains of mussels it cooks up, not to mention seasonal oysters, seafood platters (climaxing with a plateau royale for four at around €180 ) and 10 types of tartare.

Chez Barnabé
Cartoons on the walls set the tone of this trendy and innovative quick-eat joint where healthier-than-healthy 'fast food' - salads, hot dishes, fresh juices, cookies and so on - is religiously baked on the premises. Vegetarians and non-pork-eaters are well catered for.

La Maison de Marc Veyrat
Small fortune needed aside, snagging a table is tough at Marc Veyrat's lakeside 'Maison Bleue', a powder-blue house with a handful of extraordinary hotel rooms up top, 1km east of the centre. Cuisine is highly creative and flamboyant - very much 'once-tried-never-forgotten' calibre. Come winter Veyrat moves to Megève.

Le Chalet
Well on the tourist trail it might be, but this waterside restaurant decked out to resemble a cosy old Savoyard chalet (think wood everywhere) does have a certain charm. Cuisine is cheese-fuelled.
-
Le Grenier du Père Jules
Checked tablecloths, mountain-dried sausages hung up to dry and a menu heaving with diet-busting dishes like fondue, tartiflette (sliced potatoes oven-baked in cream and reblochon cheese) and other cheese-heavy Savoyard dishes create an overwhelmingly rustic atmosphere at Father Jules' busy attic.

Les Écuries du Pré Carré
In the same charming courtyard, the Stables ooze theatre. Cuisine is imaginative, as is the décor - a mix of wood, '70s retro and glasses that don't match. Upstairs, La Suite - billowing white cloth, leather armchairs and pink lighting - is evening only; last orders are at midnight.
