"Having come down to Annecy from Val d'Isère, Benoît Vidal has set up shop in this restaurant with a slick contemporary decor. The Catalan chef, who hails from Perpignan and has worked with Michel Trama and Michel Guérard, has created a light, poetic brand of cuisine that is rooted in the culinary traditions of Savoie, his adopted home. He brings a sense of precision and his own personal style to bear on the rigorously sourced ingredients, elevating them with sound technical skill and elaborate presentations. The strength of this chef may well lie in his pared-down, apparently simple creations: a crayfish starter cleverly combining a slightly bitter coffee and pine bud sabayon with a powerful, concentrated jus made from the crayfish heads; semi-smoked pigeon seasoned with citrus and hazelnut – an understated and elegant dish. Appealing vegetarian set menu ("Sentier à fleur d'eau") and attractively priced lunch menu. There is also bistronomy-style fare at Côté Bistrot (lunchtime only)." - Michelin Inspector

Chose the €55 lunch set menu here with a bottle of wine, which turned out to be incredibly value for money for a 2-star Michelin and probably not too different from the basic dinner menu which is priced at over €120. Service was attentive. Dishes are delicately presented. The citrus theme lunch is interesting. Taste meets expectation albeit nothing stands out, closer to one star standard I would say. Overall still recommend to have a try if you are round.

2 stars for a reason. We were lucky enough to get a spot in L'Atelier during our ski trip. We went for the lunch formula at 55 EUR per person, drinks excluded. Wonderful location with adjusted accommodation for skiers and, of course, the friendliest staff. We enjoyed every little piece of art greatly. Don't be surprised about the wine card, its prices are steep: cheapest bottles sell at almost 100 EUR.

Sublime. We had the “Entre Amont & Aval” menu featuring trout, oysters, and pigeon. Each dish was presented as a work of art with delicate tastes of herbs and plants. The service is impeccable. Noémie (I Hope I remember her name correctly), the Maître d’Hotel is warm and caring and makes her guest feel cared for. She is almost poetical when describing each dish and clearly has a passion for what she does. The chef came to see us at the end of the meal which is a nice touch.

Very fortunate to have eaten here last night, which was a Christmas present from our children. We chose the “Discovery” menu option and were not disappointed as it included amuse bouche, fish, crayfish, smoked pigeon, two desserts and our choice of cheese from the cheeses on offer. We chose our own wines with the help of the friendly sommelier. The food was obviously why we went but the highlight for me was the welcoming, friendly, informative staff who worked there. We were made to feel so included that I would head back to L’Atelier d’Edmond in a heartbeat!

Exceptional food and service! This restaurant offers an amazing experience in terms of dining and feeling at home. They use high quality natural products for each dish. Personnel is very nice and professional (they explained the menu and the story behind it in English). I had the “Graines d’eau” menu, with the Omble chevalier and the sauce being the best dish that I’ve ever had. I would definitely try it again; I might give a try to the vegetarian version, because it looked equally good. Presentation of food is superb! The chef came at the end and we had a nice chat about his concept. I totally recommend this place.

Fantastic meal, perhaps the best I've ever had. Had the Imagination menu for lunch (210eur pp, with 9 wine pairing 165eur). It was not just the food that was perfect but also the sommelier, and the general level of service (we showed up in ski gear, which was 100% fine, we were offered slippers on arrival) I very rarely leave reviews, but L'Atelier d'Edmond experience was exceptional and I would highly recommend to anyone skiing in the area!

It goes without saying that the food was superb. Every plate was delicious. But what amazed me the most was how welcoming and warm the staff all were. We took our 2 year old and we're astounded by how kind everyone was to her. We're so very happy to have experienced this amazing restaurant.
