Lac Casa — Restaurant in Annecy

The restaurant is far too bright and has the appearance of a canteen. Lighting is far too bright and directional, it is like being on a stage. The decor is colourful and the welcoming very warms and inviting. The menu is limited, yet not expensive, taste is probably directed towards local/regional preferences as does not replicate the spicy and hot Mexican food we get back in the UK, the USA and in Mexico where we have visited many times. Jalepaenos and hot sauce were side accompaniments and for our taste certainly necessary. The owners are extremely personable and are making every effort to provide a restaurant that is different and entertaining. The colourful decor achieves this yet Mexican music and more atmospheric lighting would improve the experience for many. We wish them every success as they are extremely passionate and enthusiastic about the culture of the Mexican food and nation and what they are looking to accomplish....

It was simply just whipped cream with some mango syrup and pomegranate seeds — the syrup was extra sweet and filled with mango flavor, it felt like a reduction of some mango juice and...

Really excellent service and food quality at this little Mexican restaurant. For Americans who may be used to a burrito the size of a football for $10 from Chipotle, Lac Casa will seem a little pricey. The burritos are half the size and twice the price of ones from Chipotle -- but a fair value given the taste, quality and friendly, attentive service. We'll be back the next time we feel the urge for...
