Enjoy a creative and innovative cuisine

Under the direction of Frédéric DELORMES, Head Chef of Le Palace de Menthon, the cuisine of this restaurant on the shores of Lake Annecy delivers a fine dining experience inspired by local produce and a daring touch. Trained alongside Stéphane BURON, renowned Michelin-starred chef at Le Chabichou - part of the Lavorel Hotels collection - Frédéric finds inspiration in seasonal produce selected from local suppliers.

He then composes exquisite dishes, allowing himself a touch of audacity and daring, and pairing textures and tastes that will surprise and delight. Inspired by traditional French cuisine, the chef's menu subtly incorporates the flavours of the Mediterranean. With its light flavours, elegant presentation and dishes devised and prepared by a team of aficionados, all the ingredients are there for a truly experience.
