This pub is well known in Pra-loup. Pina Colada, Mojito, Alesia... it's a whole range of tasty cocktails that await you in the cosy and musical atmosphere of this pub. Vito, as a true master of ceremonies, always offers the extras that make the difference: garnished aperitifs and in-house happy hours! Edouard's Pub also offers a catering service, which is greatly appreciated. Fancy a fondue, a raclette or a Mont d'Or? Everything is good at Edouar's Pub! The best part: enjoy its beautiful terrace with a view on the mountain!

B'Rock Art's ambience perfectly reflects its name. Firstly, it's the ideal place to enjoy a selection of local beers such as Mont Salève, Sorcier (with nettles) or Galibier, accompanied by cocktails and delicious charcuterie to satisfy even the most demanding palates. Then, rock music takes center stage with a varied program of concerts. Finally, in addition to musical performances, theatrical improvisation shows promise memorable laughs.

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.

In the pedestrian street, let yourself be charmed by this emblematic place that has stood the test of time since the Victorian Empire. If the walls could talk, they would evoke the lively exchanges between scholars, comedians and men of letters during Aix-les-Bains' spa heyday. The Café des Bains, founded in 1881, remains the town's oldest bistro. Come and enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning, a light lunchtime meal with home fries and a dish of the day. And why not enjoy a gourmet snack, with a Valrhona chocolate cake concocted by the chef?

The Irish pub in Chambéry is here. Atmosphere, garden, bière beer, immediate boarding for Dublin! Wood, tons and high stools, darts of darts, come here among friends to relax, or to start its disco evening. Good music, good atmosphere, sometimes you grow dancing. The clientele is varied, many young people, but also all sports lovers, who come to watch the games a pint by hand. In the back, a quiet garden to drink a drink, chat or smoke more calmly. The big gosiers, if they are not filled at the time of closure, can leave with a barrel… up to 50 litres! Note that it is possible to privatize the pub for a particular event.

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!

It's not on the ice floe of the Deux-Alpes glacier that you'll find a polar bear, but in the resort! A pub set up in a pretty chalet on Avenue de la Muzelle, a must for festive evenings. Warm atmosphere, international clientele to drink good draught beers and listen to good live music. A good mulled wine after skiing, a good Guinness and a wide choice of craft beers. For beer lovers, but also to enjoy a classic or trendy house cocktail, with a few tapas.

A cozy place with an industrial decor, ideal for a beer and a snack on weekday evenings. Le Bivouac Malté offers 8 draught beers and a cellar featuring a variety of Savoyard, French and European beers. Perfect for afterworks, with a wide choice of drinks and gourmet aperitif boards. At lunchtime, you can enjoy tasty dishes made with fresh, seasonal and local produce! A changing menu and homemade cuisine. A fine address already well known to valley residents. Conviviality and simplicity.

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.

In the heart of Les Deux Alpes, Vida took over this establishment 9 years ago to refurbish it and create a place in its image: warm, friendly and convivial. It's an open space, ideal for meeting new people and spending pleasant evenings listening to good music - DJ set at least once a week - while enjoying delicious seasonal cocktails, a fine selection of gins - including a surprisingly non-alcoholic one - rums and whiskies. Homemade tapas to accompany. Exhibitions by different artists every month. A place to share.

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Carré Curial, l'Epicurial Café promises an electrifying ambience where bewitching music, happy hour specials and warm exchanges between friends come together. Formerly a restaurant, this establishment has undergone a metamorphosis to meet the expectations of night owls. It now offers an original tapas bar concept, enhanced by captivating live performances. The venue is regularly renewed with temporary exhibitions that add an artistic touch to this already dynamic address. Not to be missed.

Make yourself comfortable in the big leather armchairs, and you'll be able to fully appreciate the subtly harmonized decor. It's the ideal place to come and sip a beer while enjoying a platter of cheeses and charcuterie. The atmosphere is hushed and intimate, with a picturesque view of the mountains and a typical pub jazzy touch. Take your time to make your choice, as the selection is vast: you can choose between a dozen draught beers and a hundred bottled beers.

Unavoidable in La Plagne whose reputation is no longer to be done. Two permanent DJ's stand behind the players, from the "Live" in the afternoon, with an atmosphere of the next ski bar pub from 16 am to 00 am, which is the perfect place and a night-club atmosphere of 00 hà 5 h. All musical tastes are allowed and the atmosphere is safely insured by the sheriff. We dance, you have a lot of fun in this station of station saloon that plunges us into the heat of the night. On Sundays, it is Western with more electric programming, many international guests present.

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!

Marie Pastel, a lifelong resident of Chambéry, invites you to discover a limited selection of delicacies made with care every day. This new establishment, opened in 2022, seduces with its elegant, uncluttered design. Here you'll find succulent pastries made from raw, local and seasonal ingredients. The Paris-Brest is so exquisite that you'll want to try it again! You can also order customized cakes. As for drinks, the wine list is particularly attractive!

Comptoir Le T was born of a sommelier's passion for the enchanting world of tea. The aim is to offer a memorable sensory experience at the heart of this captivating universe. Here, we plunge into a world steeped in fragrance, flavor and tradition. Tea is the second most consumed beverage in the world, after water. If you're looking for a selection of specific teas or the creation of organic teas with natural flavours, you've come to the right place.

But there was everything to do well! Yes, but it is sometimes too much. And to do too much… the Mojito lost. If the establishment grows ever more, it must be noted that quality does not take the same path. In reception first, rather whimsical and not always very pro. A drink? It will surprise - and then we will regret - that the eponymous cocktail is really not at the party… Mojito, you said mojito? No, certainly, Curial is not Cuba. Next time we may take a beer, the tariffs of which are more related to the product served. A table? Nor will we grow on the quality of food; After all, the house does not pretend to make homemade cooking. On the other hand, late service is good for night-owls, and tapas is a bit different from kebab. But after all, everyone's taste.

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!
