Restaurant Chez Ma Cousine has romance and history and is situated right on the waters of Lac d'Annecy. It is not a cheap place, and you can get good quality food. While you are hypnotized watching the ripples on the water, you can also observe the majestic imposing view of the Alps mountains. To immerse ourselves in the ambiance of... More

We were by car on our way to the french alps and wanted to have a stop for lunch somewhere near Annecy. We saw this lovely restaurant by chance , and decided to stay. What a wise decision. Located at the border of the astonishing Annecy lake , with a beautiful heated path and absolutely tasty french cuisine.Worths the visit!! More

We came across this place by coincidence, just because it's just by the road and the outdoor and location looked nice. It was a great surprise, and we ended up going back to have lunch once again on the next day, before heading to Geneva airport. Super views to the lake, well decorated, good service and, above all, with a... More

Chez ma Cousine has a stunning lakeside location, with views across Lake Annecy to the east. The terrace into front of the restaurant extends over the lake, and has it's own pontoon for those coming by boat. The choice and quality of the food is expectional, and there is a comprehensive wine list. I would recommend the smoked salmon and... More

A beautiful lakeside setting with views of the mountains and sparkling blue water of Lac d'Annecy. Waterside tables on the terrace, young, friendly and efficient staff, warm welcome with house cocktail. Good selection of fish dishes, as well as a range of three different set menu options. As expected given the link with the Pere Bise group, food was excellent.... More

This is a terrific restaurant for its setting at the "boot of Lake Annecy," and even in the rain, the views were good. The server provided a three-piece amuse bouche of olives and home-made potato chips (of the American Variety). We had two fish dishes, one lake perch and the other local fish. Both very good. Reservations advisable. We'll return. More

This was my 3rd time at the restaurant and I have nothing to complain about. We had not reserved and arrived at 12:00 securing 1of the 3 non reserved tables underneath a tree, with a beautiful view if the lake. The restaurant was full and this dud not detract from the service or quality of the food. I would certainly... More

We found this restaurant whilst on a bike ride from Annecy to the other end of the lake. Even though it had just passed their closing time, they happily accommodated us for lunch. The service was fantastic and very attentive (so unlike many french restaurants), the food was lovely. My husband and I chose the set 3 course menu at... More

The location of this restaurant is stunning - right on the lakeside. You can sit outside if the weather is suitable, or inside (either with view directly outside, or completely 'inside' the restaurant if it's cold or rough!). The restaurant does have its own car park, but it isn't very big and strangely doubles up some spaces so you could... More
