Not having been to La Bouitte for a long time, it was a pleasure to meet friends from Annecy there for lunch recently. We dined in the gastronomic restaurant there’s also a good bistro here, where they serve tasting menus of three, four, five or eight courses, as well as à la carte. We chose the three-course lunch menu for €210, and loved our first course of crozets, a Savoyard speciality of tiny squares of pasta, cooked and fried in a bouillon of diots (small, smoked, locally-made sausages) with melted cheese. The omble chevalier, a fish from the freshwater lakes of the Alps, was simply cooked to privilege its delicate, succulent flesh, and a superb soufflé flavoured with herbs and moss concluded this outstanding meal. Highly recommended for the warmth and generosity of the Meilleurs’ hospitality, as well as the excellence of the food, and as good a destination in the spring or summer as in the colder months.
