La Table de Yoann Conte

★★ Michelin5 toques€€€€Creative

Breton chef Yoann Conte discovered the meaning of brotherhood and the importance of food on the high seas. He is committed to creating "unpolished" and sincere dishes within the fine dining context. An extreme hiker in his spare time, his lakeside garden benefits from his herbalist know-how. His cooking is in his likeness: physical, down-to-earth, adventurous and with a wry sense of humour. Supported by a highly motivated team, he tirelessly refines two set menus with distinct themes: "Adopted Land" which highlights the Alpine terroir, "Native Brittany" which celebrates his homeland with preci

Le Confidentiel

Bib Gourmand€€Modern Cuisine

This restaurant – one of many (including some real juggernauts!) surrounding the lake – proves that good things come in small packages. In a compact dining area, you can enjoy dish after dish that is absolutely on point with its bold flavours, such as low-temperature egg, celery and pear, or hake, vegetable noodles and ginger-lemongrass broth. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. It really is love at first bite... Now that you're in on the secret, you know what to do!

Le Roc

€€€€Modern Cuisine

Tasting menus, an appetising à la carte lineup (perch from Lake Geneva with sorrel and pike roe, poached scallops in helianthus, pithiviers of duck and foie gras), a splendid wine list, a contemporary stylish interior in a chic alpine vein and a youthful team that is always spot on: chef Yoann Conte has covered all the bases in this, his second restaurant, also housed in the famous Maison Bleue. And, as always, the view of Lake Annecy is jaw dropping.

TripAdvisor review sample · 4.8/5 · 80 reviews

Le Roc in Veyrier-du-Lac offers modern cuisine with views of Lake Annecy, holding a 4.8/5 average from 80 reviews. Service is consistently praised for being attentive, professional, and informative. The atmosphere is charming, though the terrace can be hot in summer. Food quality is generally excellent, with guests enjoying novel flavors and Chef Conte’s magical dishes. However, some reviewers criticize the small portions and lack of menu choices, noting that the 'discovery' menu feels minimalistic. While most find the value acceptable, a few consider it poor. Rare negative comments mention unpleasant sommelier behavior and undercooked poultry, but these are outliers in an otherwise highly rated dining experience.

Suitable for diners seeking refined modern cuisine and lake views who appreciate small-portion tasting menus.
