Annecy's
restaurants
churn out rather unimaginative fare to feed all the tourists. You'll find a string of inexpensive
restaurants
overlooking the canal along quai PerriA?re, and rue Ste-Claire, among which
Le Pichet
, 13 rue PerriA?re (menus 78F-199F/a?¬11.90-30.35), is dependable. One of the best venues is the
Auberge de Savoie
(tel 04.50.45.03.05; closed Wed; menus around 200F/a?¬30.50) on the far side of the canal at place St-FranA§ois, serving Savoyard specialities and fish.
Le Petit Zinc
(tel 04.50.51.12.93), nearby at 11 rue Pont-Morens, manages best to rise above the surrounding mediocrity, serving hearty Savoyard fare in a warm interior (lunch from 65F/a?¬9.91, dinner from 150F/a?¬22.88). For more adventurous cooking head to
Au GrA© du Vent
(tel 04.50.52.85.26; menus 85F-175F/a?¬12.96-26.68), 2 place Ste Claire, with an exciting and varied
carte
that goes beyond the local
terroir
standards.
Rue Ste-Claire also has some of the town's liveliest
nightlife
in the music-bars
Pub Medievale
and
Red Zed
. And for a quiet coffee, the bohemian-flavoured
CafA© Cort
, by the old town gate at the end of the street, will fit the bill. Other useful information
