As I entered the Bistrot I was a wee bit disappointed with the reception from the young woman in glasses who had to work hard to give us a half smile. Nothing bothers me more than being led to a table that is not as nice as the empty tables and being seated. I said to her in French we would prefer to sit at the railing tables over the lake. She told us that she was sorry but they were all reserved. Now...I had made a reservation in the Spring for the first night at the bistrot and the second night at the restaurant gastronomique. As we did not really use the table to drink or eat for a few minutes, we were not aware until she brought a bottle of badoit that it rocked badly.Truly unacceptable. When I pointed it out...she went to get a piece of 'something' to equal it out. She was not doing very well trying to even the table when a young man...obviously the head waiter started to really work on the table.I stopped him and I told him that actually...we would prefer to sit at the 'still' empty tables looking over the lake that were..'reserved' ! He said 'Bien sur' and told the glaring waitress to put us at one of the tables that she had said were reserved. This is not how I expected to be treated when you are spending 500 euros a night for your room and ove 500 euros for the Michelin restaurant. The young man was a very good waiter with suggestions and such but it was clear that he was overwhelmed as it seemed the unfriendly waitress was the only one working. There were plenty of busboys at least. The view of the lake is nice but it is over the public beach so that there were a few people right below us who were making loud conversation and at that moment...I wish I wasn't fluent in French like my husband as he could ignore the silly conversation below. But...the food was very good. I had the specialty for that evening which was a 'poulet f'ermier. It was delicious as was the the 1st course for two...a lovely charcuterie for two. We skipped the cheese as we wanted to really enjoy that for the next night and... since the dessert menu had pretty standard fare....we opted for trois boules de glaces avec chantilly'. Very good but not exactly special. We would have enjoyed the experience much more if it hadn't been for the first few minutes. If not for that...we would have given it 4 stars. By the way...the 'reserved tables' were still empty when we left...actually ...the restaurant was half empty. I wish we had gone into Annecy for this first evening and just dined at the Michelin starred restaurant the following night.

Lors de notre séjour à Talloires nous avons dîné au bistro 1903. Nous attendions un peu de rêve, nous l'attendons encore. nous avions opté pour une entrée : terrine de légumes sauce vierge à la tomate 18€ assaisonnement parfait - poireau vinaigrette de mon enfance 18€ ( là je fait pareil) 18 euros. en plat principale cote de bœuf sans plus avec un manque d'assaisonnement 85€... notre fils a pris omble chevalier cuit meunière 36€. l'accompagnement est vraiment minimaliste. Autant la présentation des entrées était soigné, le plat de résistance est arrivé brut. déçu.... Ça ne nous dérange pas de payé le prix pour rêver mais là nous attendons encore...

Déjeuner exceptionnel - Le cadre est idyllique, superbe terrasse en bord de lac - Le service est parfait, sympathique et sans être trop ampoulé - L'assiette est délicieuse, pleines de saveurs originales et superbement assemblées et les proportions parfaites (rien à voir avec les bouchées de moineau de La Bouitte) - La carte des vins offre un choix de qualité - Enfin c'est anecdotique mais la vaisselle est sobre et discrète. Un très bel endroit pour un déjeuner estival en bord de lac !

Nous avions apprécié la cuisine de Jean Sulpice à Val Tho, et nous réjouissions de pouvoir tester ce nouvel établissement avec un groupe d'amis.Sur le papier le menu (horizon) ne m'inspirait pas plus que cela, pourtant le repas a été absolument superbe. J'ai pris particulièrement de plaisir avec le trio omble chevalier à la violette (belle association!), plin d'escargots et le boeuf fumé (quelle odeur, quelle viande, quelle cuisson!). Bravo pour ce délice!Le cadre est bien entendu superbe, et l'apéritif/café au bord du lac particulièrement agréable.Bref, j'ai hâte d'y retourner!
