Les 2 mules - Restaurant La Clusaz — Restaurant in Annecy

Just had one of the best meals of my life! Starting with deliciously flavored zucchini fritters, then a Greek salad, not quite like an authentic Greek salad, but better! Especially the creamier feta cheese with less of a bite. On to the pork chop. I meant to order the shredded pork with sunny vegetables but I was served a large pork chop with fries and no vegetables. When I questioned the waiter he showed me the menu and I realized I had ordered the wrong thing. I told him, no problem, it was my mistake, I would eat what I had. He said they would gladly redo it, but I didn’t want to wait that long. I took a bite of the pork chop and wow was I glad I had made a mistake! Soo delicious. Whoever is creating the sauces, herbs, and spices they work with knows what they’re doing. Then I ordered a side of vegetables because I really preferred those over fries. They arrived without a long wait, and again, wow! So delicious. Perfectly crisp tender with a sauce of butter and what else I don’t know. My wine was excellent as well so I had a second glass. We declined dessert because we were already full. Our waiter brought the check and pointed out that he had comped my main dish because “it was my mistake.” “ No, no, it was my mistake!” I was not looking for that! But he insisted. All the food was presented in an earthy, creative way and the music selection was just right—upbeat yet relaxing. Thank you Tao and Bistro Les Two Mules for a...

Fully priced but delivers a memorable night, good food and a good wine list. Service is rushed but polite. Worth a visit but, it’s aiming at top end yet we had a couple n xx to us with a crying baby. So not cool when you’re out for a relaxing evening. The tables are close and there is no avoiding a noisey baby when you’re trying to relax and enjoy a good atmosphere. There were no other free tables (good for the restaurant but bad for us) so we had to leave or accept a poor decision by both the parents of the child and the restaurant manager which negatively impacted our evening. We drew this to the attention of the manager / maitre d’ but he could not have cared less. Shame on him. You’re either top end or you’re family friendly. You cannot charge the prices you do and expect repeat custom under those...

I’ve been going there since it opened, and it remains a fantastic restaurant, offering a refreshing departure from traditional Savoie cuisine. I’ve always expected it to earn a Michelin star and see its prices double, but thankfully, that hasn’t happened—yet.

The team running it is excellent, and while the service can be stretched on particularly busy nights, they always manage to keep things flowing smoothly. It’s just as delightful in the summer as in the winter.

Don’t let the fact that it’s part of a hotel complex put you off—it has a distinct identity, a welcoming atmosphere, and a charm all its own. Highly...
