La Cave - Reservar una mesa

Our hotel recommended La Cave for a pre-dinner drink, which was a true locals drinking hole.It is located off Rue Royale (the main pedestrian mall in Annecy) down a small alley next to a pizza restaurant.) We were given directions from the hotel and it was relatively simple to find, but is well tucked away. It has an outdoor area which would be great in summer. The bar area itself is relatively small with stools at the bar and two tables for two people, but it has both an upstairs and downstairs seating area so don't he put off.As the title suggests, La Cave serves wine only (sorry beer lovers) from a wonderfully extensive menu. Fear not if you feel overwhelmed with the options - the bar staff are more than happy to assist. We had a wonderful French Chenin Blanc.Food is also served, but we didn't try as we were booked into a restaurant opposite. They serve the local marrow dish - basically cooked bones from which the marrow is eaten - and also what appeared to be a charcuterie plate with loads of ham - looked very appetising! We were served some small canapes to accompany our wine, which we were very tasty (no idea what they were .)The night we visited there was a DJ which at first seemed odd as didn't seem in keeping with the ambience, but fear not, he played a great selection of mellow songs - at a low volume.Do yourself a favour and visit La Cave if in Annecy.

Our host recommended this place and we were glad she did. Bustling inside despite or maybe because of the bitterly cold weather outside it was everything we were after. Great wine list with a good selection by the glass, efficient and professional waiters and a good choice of food to accompany the wine. Given that it was packed well outside tourist season it looked to be a local crowd, which was nice given the abundance of tourist traps you find in a town like Annecy. We may head back tonight.

Fantastic Welcoming service, and. ... Smiling! In France! Instead of the awkward usual faces. We had a assiette de la cave, with charcuterie, fromages and foie Gras. Fantastic. Laaaarge, and delicious. Several wines suggested, all of them great. Even a chocolate gateau, nice. Everything for 64 Euro, with 5 glasses of wine. Outstanding

Fair value for money in this hard to find local wine bar - popular with the 20 - 30 year olds. Its up a back alley - a bit scruffy, but the wines are good value for money and the cold meat and cheese platters good. I liked the buzzing local atmosphere and friendly service,
