The best bars and cafés Annecy

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!

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!

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!
