Le Ciselin sur Annecy-Le-Vieux

30/05/2026: A fantastic birthday evening! Cocktails, wine, rib-eye steak, champagne, and dessert (with peas 🤨) – we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you to the whole team.

24/05/2026: Mixed feelings about this restaurant. Some dishes were absolutely excellent! (Leeks as a starter, pike-perch as a main course, and opera cake for dessert) perfectly seasoned and flavorful, with sophisticated tastes. Others, like the duck, were uninteresting and lacked balance. The side dishes, all kinds of purées, were in far too small portions. The pike-perch portion was also much too small! Just three or four bites, and you have to eat slowly to avoid finishing the dish in five minutes... And we're not big eaters.... The so-called "gourmet coffee," even with the small, tasty sweet treats, was anything but gourmet... It was really stingy. We left feeling unsatisfied, both literally and figuratively. The wait between courses was too long. The chilled wine by the glass couldn't wait the 30 minutes before the fish arrived. So, second glass ordered... No amuse-bouche (which can be just a bite, but the thought is appreciated) or even a few peanuts (or anything else) with the aperitif, since the "real" amuse-bouches are extra... 🙄
