The Experience
From Michelin Guide
The Auberge du Père Bise is buzzier than ever under the impetus of Jean Sulpice and his wife, Magali! A keen sportsman, the chef serves delicate food that is healthy and light in a single set menu. Wild herbs, flowers and plants add contrast and colour to his creative and incisive dishes, which are a delicious roll call of fish from the lake. Served in beautiful ceramic tableware, this poetic experience unfolds in an elegant contemporary dining space whose lakeside terrace commands a view of the crystal-clear waters of Lake Annecy that borders on hypnotic. The front-of-house is professionally managed by Coline Humbert, who sets an elegant cheerful tone. An exceptional foil for a bold gastronomic experience that never fails to deliver.
