La Guinguette du 1er Mets — Restaurant in Annecy

We loved everything about our experience! The restaurant is small, simple and cozy. Service is kind and with a good timing. The menu has just a few choices, and we appreciated that! We got one menu for 45 euro (entree plat dessert) and one for 53 (same but with a second entree that we shared): I would recommend our choice. The fois gras was delicious and served with cooked apricots on top of a macaron, what an original and tasty idea! Then the second appetizer was worth the stop: riz de veau (some part of the veal) with langoustine.. again one unusual combination that was so well thought. The main dish was duck with mushrooms and great. Same for desserts. All portions were correct. Hope to be back here soon!

In the end, pleasantly there was no pressure to move on once the time was up, as the no-shows obviously weren’t to be seen. Therefore perhaps having a more relaxed walk-in service might benefit the establishment overall. Hard one to get...

Extremely rude waiter. The female server was nice. I asked for our bill (l’addition) and the male server shushed me and held his finger to his mouth…He then described the desserts to the table next to me. He didn’t describe a single dish to us the entire evening, our drinks were empty entire time. And then shushed my wife and I. I have never had such a rude/slow server. We won’t be back and won’t recommend restaurant to any of our family in Annecy

After looking at other reviews it’s clear I’m not the only person who had problems with the...
