"Thierry Theys’ cuisine is the pinnacle of “nuanced”. Despite his youth, he has already made a name for himself on the Belgian fine dining scene and owes his reputation to highly individual recipes. Right from the first bite, he unveils his high-flying precision and technical craftsmanship. Not afraid of challenges, each dish is rich in emotion. For example, he may prepare North Sea crab with finger lime, avocado and a subtle sweet-sour flavoured stem lettuce. He may enhance suckling veal, simply grilled, with a barigoule sauce and a gravy jazzed up by kimchi. This chef knows how to nurture and draw out the distinctive character and tiniest details of outstanding ingredients. Suave, delicate food that suits our modern tastebuds. The mind-blowing experience is further enhanced by a fantastic selection of wines, available by the glass, a decadent range of sweet titbits served with coffee and super slick service. A stylish interior, fantastic wine cellar and marble details set the scene in this exceptional establishment on a permanent quest for excellence." - Michelin Inspector

We tried the discovery menu and everything was super fresh and tasty, we felt the ingredients were carefully selected with care and great taste. The staff was super nice and helpful as well. There’s a great variety of drinks. We felt the prices were a little bit high but it was worth it overall. Highly recommend!

Cozy environment. Good food. The waiter was nice although seemed to be in a constant rush. They also told us we could sit in two very specific seats, so we assumed it was all booked out. The restaurant ended up being nowhere near full the whole time. They were trying out a new dessert menu and especially one was quite bad. The main courses were delicious though. Overall would recommend, but try to get a good seat as the one towards the back is in a really awkward space.

This is such a great find! The food was absolutely delicious - beautifully presented and incredible flavours. All the staff were polite and attentive. For me the lighting could be dimmed as very bright at the front of the restaurant. It would make all the difference but that is just a personal preference. Highly recommend this if you are looking for amazing food!

Love the place and the service was excellent and very friendly and helpful. The food was very good but considering the other reviews, I suppose my expectations were somewhat higher (also at this price bracket). For instance the fried tamago, while nice, could have been almost anything else deep fried as the tamago flavour did not stand out at all. But the sauce that it was in was very good. We also had the beef tartare, boric ham, and trout. All quite nice but nothing that particularly stood out to warrant me being desperate to go back there!

Absolutely astounding. We had the fixed plate 5 course meal and were completely full. Each item was special and full of incredible flavor. The desserts were creative and confirmed our belief that “chef knows best.” Glad we just ate what they advised. Lovely service. Beautiful setting.

Lovely lively atmosphere, spoilt by one very impatient waiter. Food was mixed. Delicious ceviche and Lebanese dips but other veggie choices disappointing. Tapioca was a strange chewy texture in feta fritters and ‘sandwich’ definitely needed the few blobs of sauces surrounding the plate to add flavour. Shame this hot dish was served before the cold one but perhaps our fault since there was some confusion due to lack of availability of dishes on a la carte menu. As other reviews note the table at the very back of the restaurant, nestled between the fridge, door to freezer and WC corridor really should not be used. I hesitate to complain since I see the previous response to unhappy diners has been ‘it’s planned in advance’ but having booked several weeks in advance and arriving early when half the tables were free, we were given no choice. Definitely a first in many years of dining out and working in hospitality!

Excellent food with amazing service. My wife and I had the 5 course dinner which was €33. Food was delicious. Seriously this restaurant is going to be a Michelin Bib Gourmand next year. I hope the guide sends someone out because it is exactly what that award is: great food and service at a great price. Get the tasting menu. Get a bottle of wine (most of which €19-30). Best deal in Annecy hands down. Forgot to take a picture of the main course but it was delicious beef.

NUANCE is an interesting blend of flavours and ideas from around the world which come together for a well-rounded meal. The restaurant is situated in Annecy’s stunning old town, just a short walk away from the lakeside - a lovely setting for a romantic evening meal. We had the 5-course tasting menu which was €35 euro per person. There was a wide variety of flavours offered, ranging from the tangy goat cheese and onion starter, to the smoky crispy potatoes served with the fragrant chicken fajitas. Most of the dishes were (intentionally) cold - I would rather have had several warm/hot courses, but of course, that’s personal preference! I thought the food was good quality overall and definitely worth a visit.
