The story
Halfway between Annecy and Aix-les-Bains, in the charming medieval village of Alby-sur-Chéran, Le Bourgeon has taken root. Housed under stone arcades amid colorful houses, the restaurant was born from the renovation of an old village eatery by Adrien Lavorel and chef Enzo Duchesne. Their shared vision: to bring people closer to the living world through a cuisine that respects the environment and local terroirs.
The menu at Le Bourgeon is built around the seasons, with vegetables at its core. Chef Enzo Duchesne is part of a generation of young, committed chefs who champion straightforward, flavorful cooking. He works with raw, fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced through short supply chains, letting nature dictate the inspiration for each dish. The result is a modern cuisine that feels both grounded and inventive.
While Enzo crafts the food, Adrien Lavorel pours his energy into sourcing an eclectic and original wine list. He gives pride of place to the wines of the two Savoies, celebrating his native region with a selection that complements the kitchen’s seasonal focus. This partnership, rooted in shared values, makes Le Bourgeon a destination for diners seeking authentic, thoughtful modern cuisine in a setting that feels both historic and fresh. The restaurant’s commitment to quality and value has earned it a Michelin Bib Gourmand, a recognition of its reliable, well-priced cooking.
