Restaurant l'Atelier d'Edmond sur Val-D'Isere

Benoît Vidal's plant-based menu reaches a remarkable level of excellence. A signature cuisine of absolute precision, where vegetables become noble, complex, and incredibly delicious. The flavors are spot-on, the textures masterful, the balance perfect. A bold, committed, and exceptionally elegant menu that redefines plant-based gastronomy.

Exquisite dishes, surprising and flavorful sauces—everything was perfect! Thank you, Mr. Vidal, and your team! A restaurant not to be missed!

Here's my personal opinion: I heard this restaurant was getting a lot of buzz recently, so I went with high expectations for the 74 euro lunch course. While my initial impression was good, my final impression was disappointing. The portions were small, so I wasn't full. The dessert was bitter and astringent, and my companions, including myself, ranked it as the worst. However, the price wasn't bad, so I thought it was worth a try. The chef's cooking skills were decent, so I guess it's just that the course meal wasn't for me. I'd love to visit this restaurant again.

A mind blowing lunch experience, unparalleled flavour and lovely presentation. This was innovative, incredibly fresh and colourful! Worth a journey in itself. Benoit came out to greet every guest, it was all in all a very uplifting experience.

The narrative and gustatory journey orchestrated by Benoît Vidal is more than just an invitation to share a meal. Each course is a veritable sensory symphony, and each presentation a miniature work of art in vibrant colors. One might almost hesitate to dismantle such architectural precision, but from the very first bite, the visual pleasure gives way to an explosion of flavors. The attentive yet discreet service, along with the one-on-one conversation with the Michelin-starred chef, completes this memorable experience, a must-try for all lovers of French gastronomy.

Beautiful dining room! Excellent service! Delicious daily menu!! I highly recommend it! The dishes were beautifully presented with an excellent blend of flavors! As I was pregnant, the chef was very accommodating, which was very pleasant!

A magical moment. Well done to the whole team!

✨ An exceptional gastronomic experience at Benoît Vidal ✨ High above Annecy, the two-Michelin-starred restaurant Benoît Vidal offers an experience that lives up to—and even surpasses—its reputation. From the very first bites, one perceives the scope of the work, the precision, and the exacting standards that drive the chef's cuisine. Each dish is beautifully presented, meticulously planned, and above all, bursting with flavor. The generosity is particularly remarkable, especially with the lunch menu, where the amuse-bouches follow one another like small starters, creating a refined and indulgent progression. The cooking is impeccable: special mention goes to the chicken fillet, which is absolutely tender and juicy. The desserts, both elaborate and light, provide a perfectly balanced end to the meal. The setting is elegant and very pleasant, contributing fully to the experience. Admittedly, the prices may seem high at first glance, but they are more than justified by the quality, dedication, and generosity of the chef. 👉 A must-visit, highly recommended for lovers of fine dining. ⭐ Rating: 19/20 ⭐ #benoitvidal #annecy #annecyfood #annecyrestaurant #gastronomy #gastronomic #gastronomicrestaurant #michelinstar #michelinstars #2michelinstars #gastronomicchef #frenchgastronomy #hautegastronomie #finefrenchcuisine #foodexperience #foodlovers #instafood #foodstagram #foodphotography #frenchrestaurant #savoie #hautesavoie #luxuryrestaurant #gastronomylover #goodrestaurants

2 Michelin stars well-deserved, on par with my experiences with those restaurants (very close approximate is Oriole in Chicago). This is a top-flight, elegant but not pretentious dining destination. Menus organized thematically based on local walks through woods and along the river/lake. Dishes extremely well crafted, not molecularly crazy, very high respect for local ingredients. Pacing excellent, perfect overall amount to eat (we had the land/water 8 course). Get a table if you can, could not more highly recommend.

Fantastic discovery, 5/5 across the board, better than some overpriced restaurants in the area, a truly wonderful find, thank you so much.
