Short : A Beautiful Lakeside Gem Worth Visiting. On the expensive side so do not expect to come with a budget. Fish is amazing.
Detailed : Auberge du Roselet is one of those places where the setting alone makes the visit worthwhile. Perched right on the shores of Lake Annecy, it offers a beautiful lakeside atmosphere with a proper pier/beach area where you can even take a swim before or after your meal. The outdoor seating is exceptional, and if you’re lucky enough to get a table right by the water, the views are absolutely stunning. There’s also ample parking, which makes visiting very convenient.
We arrived during a sudden rainstorm without a reservation, and despite the restaurant being quite busy, the staff were kind enough to accommodate the four of us. We really appreciated that, especially considering we only ordered one entrée and three drinks while waiting out the weather. That level of hospitality didn’t go unnoticed.
The only area that could use a little improvement is communication with English-speaking guests. While everyone was courteous overall, a bit more warmth and ease in interacting with non-French speakers would make the experience even better for international visitors.
Overall, this is a wonderful lakeside restaurant with an unbeatable location, great ambience, and thoughtful service. I’d happily return and would definitely recommend making a reservation if you’re hoping to secure one of the coveted tables right on the lake.
A magnificent place, I highly recommend it. The staff were incredibly attentive, the restaurant delicious, the view and setting exceptional; we will gladly return.
The rooms are impeccably clean, tastefully decorated, and feature balconies with truly breathtaking views.
The location also offers some nice conveniences—cycle hire is just a four-minute walk away, making it easy to explore the area or go for a run, and there’s a boulangerie only two minutes away, perfect for fresh pastries and coffee.
However, this is not a budget hotel, and I would have expected basic amenities such as a kettle and complimentary tea or coffee sachets. Toiletries were also not provided, which was disappointing. Additionally, the customer service could benefit from further improvement and refinement.
Everything was absolutely perfect. The rooms are surprisingly quiet, being located next to the road. The restaurant is very good, and the view of the lake from the restaurant is simply beautiful. A great final stop after a ski holiday! Thank you!
