07/09/2026: Always top-notch!
By far the most professional, friendly, and high-quality place for a good brunch, and also the quickest for a lunch break. They don't skimp on quantity or quality here. The dishes are real dishes, and the chairs are real chairs, not those weird, doll-like, or girly things like at other places (which keep popping up and closing one after another because they're so unprofessional, some are unfriendly, the servers are too slow and nonchalant, the prices are always higher for tiny portions, the bread is stale and the coffee is from the supermarket, there are little cushions you don't need, the decor is cheesy like Barbie, etc., etc., or the opening hours aren't always clear)...
Whether you come to Slake regularly or not, they're always consistent and in a good mood.
It's just a shame they got rid of the freshly squeezed orange juice machine... Luckily, they have other juices, like the super delicious Detox. Open kitchen and everything is practically made right before your eyes in real time. Women in the kitchen and guys serving, lol!
Special mention for the trout pancake and the quality of the ingredients (even the egg is high-quality, locally sourced). They add a little cream, shallots, and just the right amount of seasoning.
This is the place to go. It's best to make a reservation or leave your phone number so they can prepare a table for you and send you a text as soon as it's ready.
The number of good, high-quality places of all styles in the center of Annecy is plummeting. When an establishment like Slake is approaching its 5th anniversary, you understand why and you highly recommend it (previously called "La Bicyclette Rose" and before that, "Barnabé"). See you soon!
