Restaurant Près du Lac sur Venerieu

We had a wonderful time for our end-of-year meal. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was lovely. The prices were reasonable. Highly recommended.

We were a group of 10 with a reservation. There's something for everyone: meat, fish, mussels, frogs' legs, but it's not an extensive menu. We received an excellent welcome with professional and friendly service, and we ate very well. The prices are reasonable. All positive, we will definitely return.

We had a really good meal; the frog legs were perfectly cooked. The setting is incredibly pleasant with a view of the lake, and the patio is beautiful and clean—truly perfect for relaxing. Parking is easy, but be aware that the lake is only accessible during July and August. A minor drawback was the service; we were rather rushed and didn't even have time to finish our sentences. Despite this, we must acknowledge that the service was efficient, as we waited very little. Since it's a large double terrace, the restaurant gets very busy, so it can quickly become noisy for those who might be bothered by that. When we were there, there were large tables, which can be great for large groups, but for those who prefer a quieter atmosphere, it might not be the right place.

The setting was very pleasant, the staff (including the owner) were very friendly, and the food, especially the terrine and frogs' legs, was very good. We had a wonderful time.

Lovely setting and friendly welcome. The fried fish and frogs' legs are delicious. Quick and efficient service. Good value for money.

Excellent evening. Perfect value for money.

Nice restaurant, but not too many choices. The aioli wasn't great, the cod was full of bones, and the mayonnaise was curried when it should have been garlic. It would be nice to serve small fried fish with a sauce and more lemon. A smile from the waitresses wouldn't go amiss. It's a shame because the setting is very beautiful.

Hi, the car parking is very good, but unfortunately, we can't see the motorcycles from the restaurant. Regarding the meal (€34 à la carte), the terrine and/or liver cake appetizers were very good but small. The frogs' legs (7 pieces) were fine; they were large frogs' legs, but €21 for 7 frogs' legs when other restaurants charge €21 for 12. They were slightly undercooked. The gratin was very good but small (a little burnt) on top. The desserts were good: floating islands and chocolate fondant, which was reheated a bit too much, resulting in a small crust on top. The setting is magnificent. So, I'm giving it 4 stars because they can do better in the kitchen; it's not difficult, and giving 10 stars is the minimum everywhere. This is constructive criticism, not a reprimand. So, I recommend it, but a few minor improvements are needed in the kitchen. The waitresses were excellent, always with a smile.

We ate very well. The setting was lovely with a view of the lake, and the waitress was very pleasant and professional. Thank you.

Excellent value for money! For just €16.90, this set menu with starter, main course, and dessert is a real winner. The dishes are delicious, beautifully presented, and prepared with care. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients and the culinary expertise. The service is pleasant and the atmosphere is warm. A wonderful discovery that I highly recommend!
