Description

At the 1903 (the year the Auberge du Père Bise was established), Jean Sulpice rolls out the house signature dishes and new takes on regional classics, like this gratin of crayfish tails "new style". The particularly attentive waiting staff will guide you through the treasures of the cheese cellar. The superb rotunda with floor to ceiling windows overlooks the mythical bay of Talloires.

Review summary

Le 1903 in Talloires-Montmin offers modern cuisine with notable lake views. Food quality is frequently praised for being refined, fresh, and flavorful, with the chocolate soufflé highlighted as a must-try. Menus adapt seasonally. Service is generally described as professional, attentive, and warm, though some guests found certain staff interactions too scripted or lacking genuine warmth. The ambiance features elegant decor and an extensive wine list of over 800 references. However, diners should note that some tables near the entrance lack lake views. Value perceptions vary; while many find the experience justified, others criticized portion sizes relative to cost. Overall, it delivers a high-quality dining experience with minor caveats regarding seating selection and service consistency.

Best for

Ideal for diners seeking refined modern French cuisine and lake views; reserve window seats in advance.
