Gourmet products local specialties and wines Annecy

One of Annecy's leading chocolate makers for almost 40 years! At Meyer's, chocolate is not a delicacy, but a refinement that comes in a hundred varieties. Bruno Meyer is meticulous in his choice of cocoa beans from the Ivory Coast, Mexico and Brazil. Chocolate comes in all shapes and sizes: rocher, tomette, tablet, spread... You can choose between Diamant, Palais de l'Isle, Délice des Cimes, Petit Ramoneur (a house specialty with raspberry brandy) or Roseaux d'Annecy. Here, homemade spreads are a welcome alternative to industrial spreads. Boutique workshop in Poisy.

Chocolate is pure emotion. To experience and share your finest emotions, head for the heart of Annecy to Patrick and Louis Agnelet. Artisans of emotions in the plural, father and son compose bars of rare cocoa from Madagascar, Mexico and Ghana. The patisseries are as emotionally stimulating as the gourmet creations. Specialties? The light and airy Nuage or the Grospiron, dedicated to the Olympic champion, just as explosive as this ball surrounded by milk chocolate. We also love the homemade cakes and snacks. The establishment is also recommended for weddings and other celebrations with personalized creations.

Created in 1918, Au Fidèle Berger is a local institution, the ancestor of all the town's tea rooms. In a timeless, cosy style, gourmands gather with good company to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, although the house specialty is hot chocolate accompanied by a homemade delicacy... also chocolate! We no longer extol the virtues of the famous "Savoyarde" bell and the Roseaux d'Annecy for comfort. In summer, enjoy a home-made ice cream on the terrace. The best of tradition.

This butchery-butchery-catering in the city centre is a small providence for local office employees, especially at lunch time.

Veyrat, a local name well known to meat lovers. Right in the heart of the old town, this emblematic butcher's, tripper's and delicatessen's stall is open to the street (where the queue is often overflowing, especially at weekends and during the festive season), offering some of the finest meat products to be enjoyed. In the hours leading up to the meal, the in-house cooks come to pick up some of the best cuts of meat, always at the top of their game. For a barbecue or a more elaborate preparation (classic or local like these diots), the Veyrat butcher's shop is never short of good ideas. Live well Veyrat!

Although the store's name has changed to Atelier des Epices, what hasn't, is the hereditary passion of fourth-generation spice merchants Julien and Thomas, who continue to introduce us to the exciting, gourmet world of spices. Incredible variety of spices from all over the world and products to spice up our dishes: oils, vinegars, salts, peppers, aromas... Right in the heart of Old Annecy, you'd think you were at a market around the world, looking at and breathing in the scents of star anise, colombo, coriander, curry, nutmeg, paprika... And let's not forget the homemade blends that make your cooking even tastier.

Les Roseaux du Lac® is one of the specialties that have made Annecy's gourmet reputation. Chocolate, sugar and liqueur in balance, a delight to be offered in a pretty box to be sure to please.

An institution, a gourmet icon in the heart of the old town, run by the same family since 1920. A charming bakery offering a wide selection of breads, creamy pastries and the famous gâteau de Savoie. The gâteau de Savoie was invented in 1358 in Chambéry, where the Count of Savoy Amédée VI was entertaining his suzerain Charles IV at his table. The Count asked his pastry chef to design a feather-light cake to please the Emperor. The cake was baked in a wooden dish. This poor conductor of heat allowed the cake to bake more gently, giving the dough time to acquire its lightness. For the record, this was not enough to win over Charles IV!

The chef Yoann Conte was born in Brest. If he loves the mountains, he must miss Brittany and the ocean. He has therefore moored his boat on avenue du Parmelan to open the doors of a new and unique concept, that of a quality fish market mixed with a delicatessen of the same barrel. Fish and seafood from clear origins, from a respectful and responsible fishing. In the same eco-responsible spirit, the fish are processed to be fully consumed before being packed in recyclable containers.
