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

A must-try! A wonderful discovery last night. The cuisine was exquisite, the presentation beautifully executed, and the waitstaff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Not a single misstep. The house cocktails were also excellent, and the opportunity to chat with the chef at the end of the meal made us leave feeling incredibly happy. We opted for the vegetarian menu, and I'm already looking forward to trying another one. Thank you all for this superb experience.

This is a wonderful place for lunch in Annecy, where you can enjoy excellent food and service at a reasonable price. I’ve attached a photo of the receipt to show that we paid. I’m writing this review less than an hour after our visit. There were four of us, and we came for the first lunch seating. We ordered three bottles: Jacques Selosse Initial, a local Savoie wine, and finally Jacques Selosse Rosé. We’re traveling through France on a wine trip. Two weeks ago, we stayed at the Jacques Selosse hotel, where we drank five bottles. We’ve had seven more Selosse wines in the two weeks since then, including the Rosé. Up until the Selosse Rosé, we were having a perfect time. But when it was opened and we tasted it, the reduction was extremely strong. I’ve never experienced that level of reduction in a Selosse wine. It had almost no aroma, flavor, or finish. I asked the sommelier whether the bottle was all right and if he would taste it. After tasting it, he said it seemed normal and that Selosse wines are naturally reductive. I may not have as much experience as he does, but are Selosse wines really supposed to be this reductive? I couldn’t accept that explanation. In the end, we left the bottle unfinished, even though it was quite expensive. I understand that it can be difficult to acknowledge a flaw in a bottle, but I still can’t make sense of it. We paid the full bill, so I feel I can speak honestly. I hope the chef and the staff will take the time to taste the Selosse we left behind and judge it for themselves. If they still feel the bottle was sound, then perhaps I was mistaken. An unlucky day can happen to anyone. What matters is how it’s handled afterward. Today was an unlucky day, but unfortunately, even the way it ended left us disappointed. Wishing you all the best.

🇫🇷 Maison Benoît Vidal 🌟🌟 2 MICHELIN Stars 🍴 Creative Cuisine 🎗️ [THE PLACE] The chef achieved great success with his restaurant L'Atelier d'Edmond. However, he needed to leave the restaurant where he had established his reputation for over 12 years and embarked on a new journey at Auberge Sur les Bois in Annecy-le-Vieux, near Lake Annecy, transforming it into Maison Benoît Vidal. Just about four months after opening, he received two Michelin stars in the spring. The interior is subtly decorated, warm and inviting, feeling more like a home than a luxurious restaurant. Tables are spaced far apart to ensure privacy. 🎗️ [WHY GO] Annecy is often called the "Venice of the Alps" or "Little Venice of the Alps" because its old town is lined with small canals, creating a picture of pastel-colored buildings, stone bridges, and canal-side walkways. And the flower-filled terrace, reflected beautifully on the water's surface, is a stunning sight. For tourists and foodies looking for a restaurant with reasonable starting prices, they can book online to sample the chef's cuisine.

Simply exceptional. When I first started exploring fine dining, I didn't think I could distinguish between 1, 2, or 3 stars. But after dining at Maison Vidal, I immediately saw the difference. Go without hesitation; it was one of the best culinary experiences of my life.

A truly wonderful place, excellent service, and Mr. Vidal's cuisine is simply extraordinary, blending finesse, precision, and power. I highly recommend that any food lover come and discover this establishment!

A wonderful culinary discovery in Annecy where every dish is perfect… A charming and welcoming establishment, reflecting the personality of its Chef, with the warm and genuine touches of his native Tarn region. With two Michelin stars, all the other starred restaurants have some serious competition, because here, the food speaks for itself, and your taste buds will be delighted… An exquisite address that you absolutely must discover.

Exquisite refinement from beginning to end. Excellent, all with efficient and discreet service – just right.

We went here for my father-in-law's birthday. It's truly a unique experience in terms of food, service, and presentation.

I cannot say enough about this restaurant. Each dish was surprising and delicious. We were very full at the end of the meal. The service was amazing and Chef Benoit came to greet everyone after dinner which was such a nice touch. I would highly recommend Maison Benoit Vidal!

There is a reason this is an up-and-coming standout place, that has earned their stars and more. From the introduction snack and aperitif It was clear that they knew what they were doing. We went all out and got the 10 course menu option and the large matching wines to share and can say it was maybe the best pairing of wines to food I might have had in my life and please don’t ask me how much I spend on wine and food. The 10 courses were very feeling, but each one was unique, incredibly flavourful and nice homages to traditional French cooking. 10 out of 10 would recommend to a friend, a stranger, or your worst enemy.
