Fun and entertainment Annecy

Every day, at large times, it moves at the Parc du Parc. On this beautiful square ideally located just a few steps from the lake and to the full of resources, the Brasserie du Parc offers a bouquet of service ranging from the catering service, the takeaway service (salads, quays, quiches, wraps and home pizzas) and, of course, a very pleasant bar where you can enjoy the super aperos. sound on the terrace. In short, a complete place where nothing is missing.

A café ideally located in the old town, so close to the Vieilles Prisons that you can breathe in the authenticity of an establishment that has lived for centuries sheltered by its thick walls. It's a café full of life and energy, so busy that it's a place where people live and breathe the present and the future, sharing good times. A bistro atmosphere in an authentic setting, with fast, efficient service and perfect Italian coffee, whether espresso or macchiato. Flavors that are the perfect accompaniment to brioches, croissants and toast... because here you can also enjoy breakfast with your family or friends. A snack menu for a break in this postcard setting.

The Vintage Café itself gives itself the title of'Epicurean bar in Annecy '; It is friendly to wish and the atmosphere is very good child. The bar offers a very good wine list. Moreover, the two managers regularly organise thematic evenings around tasting local products that combine with one of their wines. The bar is ideal for aperitifs after office; a simple space with good products. And boys who love boys, obviously.

With the appointment of Bertrand Salanon as head of Bonlieu Scène National Annecy, a new story is being written. What hasn't changed is the 900-seat auditorium, which offers the best possible conditions for performances. In the heart of the city, right next to the lake, it's a veritable creative hub where the performing arts can flourish. The 2024 program is no exception, with theater, dance, music and circus arts, as well as performances, conferences, workshops and free events, while we await the presentation of the 2024/2025 season at the end of June, and the not-to-be-missed festivals. A scene more alive than ever.

The Arcadium is a major concert venue for national and international artists. Formerly the Hall des Expos, the Arcadium came into being after titanic renovation work carried out over 10 years ago, in compliance with HQE standards, and an investment of 9 million euros. It can host exhibitions, conventions, sports galas and, above all, live shows (some forty a year). It can accommodate up to 3,300 people, with a program combining comedy, dance and music. Dates are already booked for Manu Payet, Gad Elmaleh, Jarry, Ines Reg, Alison Wheeler, Michael Gregorio, Artus and a concert by Alain Souchon, Ours and Pierre Souchon in March 2025.

If you too want to share some good times over good glasses of wine in a nice place, go to the Vin at my place. Because "chez moi" is at the same time Anthony Colon's place, the precursor of wine bars in Annecy, and a little bit your place. A really cosy and warm place that is not limited to a counter, but also to small, more intimate corners where we like to come as a couple to share a slate of quality products, well composed Palas Romanas, but also more surprising, refined dishes, over a glass or a bottle with a very nice selection from all regions of France. And if your feet itch, the dance floor opens your arms with good sound.

La Queue du Coq has been open for 10 years - also known as LQDC - and is home to true mixology champions like Alexandre Girard, with over 20 years' experience and among the most influential bartenders. A warm decor with an "indus" feel, and a friendly atmosphere in which to share more than just a glass, an exceptional drink. There's something for every taste on the ever-evolving menu, with cocktails and mocktails (non-alcoholic) artfully crafted from top-quality ingredients, including fresh fruit. From the Bon baiser de Russie to the classic Margarita, so much better than anywhere else in Annecy. To be enjoyed in moderation. A delightful Queue de Coq.

Looking for a destination where the sun shines all year round? Let's head for El Pueblo. A living space inspired by the travels of three adventurers who have brought back to this setting, in the atmosphere, in the glasses and plates, their finds from elsewhere. It's a warm, comforting, hybrid place where you can feel at home and share the flavours of the world in the evening. On the kitchen side, the chef offers quality tapas in small or large quantities to suit your appetite, with Mexican-style bao, chicken and vegetable gysozas, patatas del Pueblo or a trilogy of hummus. As for the bar, in-house creations for cocktails that take us on a journey. Super spot.

A sweet treat on the doorstep of Annecy's old town. A delicious bonbonnière all in pink to savour the creations of an exceptional pastry chef: Philippe Rigollot, World Pastry Champion and Meilleur Ouvrier de France. The small terrace is decked out in the same pink hues, offering tea-room-style wonders of small cakes to enjoy on the premises or to take away. From the red fruit pavlova to the summer leaf that delighted us, accompanied by a homemade iced tea, you'll have to come back often to make sure you don't miss a thing. A haven of sweet indulgence where you can also enjoy a hot chocolate or a cup of tea. A wonderful Rose.

As big as an Italian espresso (or almost), here's a tiny café where you can stop and enjoy the special atmosphere of Annecy's old town without the crowds. The café is also a concept store run by Olaf and Jolanda, Atelier 3841, where you can discover sustainable and responsible hoodies, as well as beautiful handcrafted ceramic pieces. In addition to the pleasure of discovering these objects, one must savor the happiness of an excellent coffee with a house blend, a selection of teas for all occasions and homemade pastries that taste great, just like the homemade croq's. Breakfasts in the same gourmet spirit.

Would we dare to say that Mooz makes the best bubble tea in Annecy? We would have to test them all to say so, but what we can say with certainty is that they are excellent! And as the store is really specialized in this field, you have the choice: fruit tea or milk tea, with tapioca beads or fruit pearls, hot or cold, more or less sweetened... To each palate its own drink! And for those with a sweet tooth, Mooz also offers delicious iced or regular mochis. A good address just a step from the station!

31 years of existence and passion with a new season to put jazz in our hearts. Concerts, festivals, the association of musicians and music lovers, enthusiasts and volunteers, perpetuates a tradition of Jazz and Blues culture very much alive in Annecy. The Jazz Club is able to showcase the most talented as well as the most promising musicians in a variety of venues (see our program on FB). Thanks to the energy and passion of its members, the Club is well established on the Annecy music scene, with concerts every second Wednesday of the month and the annual Festival at Château de Clermont. Quality programming in a warm, relaxed atmosphere.

Annecy's hottest line for electric parties. Le Téléphone Rose answers the call all year round, with a host of events to keep weekend parties going, listening to great electro sounds and tapping your feet on the dancefloor. At the entrance to the Faubourg, a funky little local icon is on hand to shake up our nights (while respecting the peace and quiet of the neighborhood) with a program that's both cutting-edge and accessible, so that everyone can dance and have fun. DJ sets to discover on a FB page that's constantly updated, to help you see the night in pink. May the power of the dance floor be with us!

With a location like this, on the little "island" that's home to the famous palace, you'd think this bar would be a perfect tourist trap. Not so! Le Pont Morens, named after the very first stone bridge over the Thiou built in the ^13th century, is an Annécian haunt where regulars like to come, especially out of season when the area is less teeming with visitors, for a coffee and an aperitif among locals. In the quieter seasons, come and kiss your sweetheart as you watch the swans glide across the clear waters. In hectic seasons... We're not so sure you'll appreciate it. A heritage address that says a lot about the city.

The Bistro des Tilleuls is a multiple place: restaurant with world cuisine at noon, café during the day, animated bar in the evening. The catering part led by its Peruvian chef is surprising: dishes of the day worked and different every day, fresh products, we love it! This establishment also proposes every week concerts and other cultural events: improvisation theater, literary café... Located just a step away from the old town, in a small street far from the tourist agitation, the Bistro gathers a large public in a beautiful atmosphere.

A shepherd loyal to Annecy since 1918! On this pedestrian corner, a tea room from another era catches the eye of all passers-by. The charm of the place, a local heritage site, is complemented by the quality of the creations that will delight young and old alike. Artisans of taste work with quality raw materials to offer us Cloches et Roseaux d'Annecy, as well as fine pastries. Old-fashioned scented hot chocolate warms all generations. A Fidèle Berger that defies time. A must.

A fine house of tradition, expert in the art of roasting since 1959. At Brand, carefully selected and blended coffees are roasted using an artisanal process that guarantees the full authenticity of aroma and taste. Arabicas from the 4 corners of the world bring us their specific terroir characteristics. A guaranteed journey through the smells and flavors in your cup of coffee! It's as delicious as the welcome and advice from Delphine and her team, who never fail to take us into this world apart. Other pleasures include a wide selection of plain or flavored teas to continue the journey on a little cloud of milk.

Under the arcades of a sometimes overheated old town, here's a wine bar that shows its colors and degrees with 14% Vol. Not a very big place - we're not talking about going upstairs... -it's just the configuration of the building that makes it that way, but it can be extended to include a terrace overlooking the cobblestones, where you can air out or gossip. An ideal place to stop and hydrate between two visits, two strolls, two... whatever you like. This lively bar offers something for every taste, from charcuterie and cheese of course, but also Asian products, which are less common and no more difficult to match with well-selected wines.

What if the best place to have a coffee in Annecy was on Place des Cordeliers? We're not far from thinking so after enjoying an exceptional coffee at Hiatus. A shaded or sunny terrace, with the Thiou River within sight, complemented by a room as warm as the welcome you receive. On the coffee side, selected origins and extractions for every taste, from espresso to filter batch brew, from mocha to flat white made with love. There's also love for other hot beverages, such as an infusion of grandma's remedy or earl grey tea, and cold ones with homemade bissap. Sweet and savoury treats. Coffee shop as we like it.

Do you still know what a bar is? A friendly place to have a good drink! Le Bon Pain Bon Vin, a young address that likes to look back to the past, brings the French bar tradition up to date. Here, the napkins are like the checkered tablecloths and we like this "old" France where we knew how to drink well and eat well... Festive bistro atmosphere on an open kitchen that has nothing to hide. Wide opening hours to meet with friends for a good drink from a carefully selected menu and good, generous dishes like herring and apples in oil. A very nice address that honors the French art of living!

100% in the game at Mystères du Lac. In pairs, with colleagues or friends, experience incredible adventures in the heart of Annecy. Several options are available. An escape game in the rooms, with original missions to complete in less than 60 minutes. Try to unravel the secrets of the K74 submarine (with a game mode suitable for under-12s), the mysteries of an alchemist or solve the Black Lily investigation. And don't forget to plunder the Muk temple in the Salle d'Epagny. And then there's the life-size version in the streets of Annecy, with amazing City Games. Emotions, explorations, collaborations, sensations for all ages, live stronger the time of a game!

At La Verrière, you can do anything! Do we share a drink while eating a small dish or do we share a dish while drinking a drink? The question is not very important since in both cases the essential remains the sharing. A beautiful address, with its terrace close to the lake, its famous glass roof and a room bigger than it looks with its bar in majesty from the entrance, to organize a successful aperitif. An afterwork that can be extended around plates to share, with veggie and gluten free options. House cocktails in the same spirit of sharing and discovery. An address full of freshness and warmth.

For 4 years, the Shelter has been one of the most popular bars in Annecy. Its design architecture, its subdued lights, its walls and its planted ceiling offer a friendly and cosy atmosphere, a real urban refuge. The drinks menu takes us on a journey to different destinations with each house cocktail, real creations concocted from good products. Each smoothie is also based on fresh fruits or pressed juices. And so as not to drink on an empty stomach, there are boards for all desires, even vegan. On weekend evenings, the Shelter becomes even more festive: with its DJ sets and light shows, the bar turns into a club!

Not one, but three addresses - Pringy and Sevrier in addition - for this quirky establishment that could be classed as a restaurant, since it's as much about eating as drinking. In this slightly eccentric neighborhood, a lively place to be, even festive in the evening, you can enjoy cocktails - including an Annecy Mule with génépi - beers - including a few house beers to try - or a glass of wine with a platter of cochonnailles or from'ton (in the evening). Private karaoke? No problem, Kaboom!
