Les Rives du Lac sur Gerardmer

The food was excellent, the service was quite fast despite the crowd, and the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Plus, it's right on the lake.

Magnificent view, excellent waiter and very good food!

Good food and a great view of the lake.

Great restaurant, I highly recommend it! The service was excellent, the waitress was fantastic! Delicious restaurant

Prices are too high for the quality. The service wasn't great either.

A great place to spend some time in Gérardmer. We went back several times during our vacation. A lovely terrace overlooking the lake and a friendly atmosphere. The food is simple and satisfying. You can also just have a drink. The service is friendly but varies depending on the staff. Thanks to Oceane who made our visit so enjoyable with her cheerfulness and good humor :) On subsequent visits, however, the service was less impressive. In particular, one time the woman turned us away because it was apparently full... (even though the terrace was almost empty). When we returned 5 minutes later, another waiter let us in without any problem. The same thing happened on a Friday evening when they're supposed to have all-you-can-eat mussels with Munster cheese on the menu. We came specifically for that. But no one bothered to tell customers that they weren't available that evening... many people on the terrace were in the same situation. Not very professional. But it's still a decent and friendly place to enjoy the summer in the Vosges :)

We had a wonderful time at your establishment during our stay in Gérardmer from August 2nd to 12th. Thank you for your warm welcome, the very friendly waitress, and your delicious ice cream.

Beautiful view of the lake, generous portions, and top-notch service, especially from Océane who, despite an unpleasant colleague, always kept smiling and remained warm, polite, pleasant, and helpful with her customers 🥰 She made us want to come back...

I entered this restaurant with high expectations: it was very touristy, the menu wasn't anything special, and I was anticipating mediocre food. We waited a good 10 minutes outside in the sun, in nearly 40°C heat, before being served by the staff (the terrace was packed). Ayyoub greeted us (a group of 10), and we chose to be seated inside. He told us there would be a considerable wait due to the crowd. We were pleasantly surprised to be served after only 15 minutes. There was a slight mishap with one of the dishes, but Ayyoub handled it perfectly. And then, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, which exceeded my very low expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed it. My impression was confirmed when I saw the chef emerge from the kitchen: we were dealing with a man who knew his craft, and the pastries for dessert were also excellent. The view of the lake must be superb, but I wasn't able to enjoy it. The interior is lovely, all wood, but it lacked that extra something that would have made all the difference and prevented me from being indifferent. For the comfort of the customers, especially during these sweltering days, there was also no air conditioning. Considering the quality of the food, the price was very reasonable. And Ayyoub's warm welcome contributed to our positive experience. Thank you to him! 🙂 Overall, I recommend this restaurant.

I found the prices expensive. Frozen fries, frozen chocolate fondant, and overheated. It's far from a bad restaurant, but I think the quality/price ratio isn't there. Nice view of the lake. Quick but friendly service.
