The story
Tucked beside the Château de Proméry, Le Clos du Château brings a refined yet relaxed spirit to the outskirts of Annecy. Chef Pascal Avertis, a native of the region, works alongside his wife Julie, whose attentive, easy-going service sets the tone. The restaurant describes itself as chic and convivial – and that balance is evident from the moment you step inside.
The ground-floor dining room is intimate, with a glass-walled wine cellar displaying handsome bottles and a fireplace that deepens the sense of comfort. The menu is short, inventive, and changes with the seasons, rooted in fresh, local produce. This is Modern Cuisine at its most sincere: creative plates that let the ingredients speak, without unnecessary flourishes. The kitchen’s approach has earned the restaurant a Michelin Recommended distinction, a fitting nod to its quiet ambition.
Upstairs, Le Coeur du Clos offers a more festive atmosphere for private events. Wood and exposed stone give it a chalet feel, and the modular salons can be tailored to anything from a family celebration to a corporate seminar – the team has over a decade of experience in event hosting.
In warmer months, a shaded terrace extends the dining experience outdoors. When winter arrives, braziers and a cabin-like warmth keep the place inviting. Whether you come for a seasonal tasting menu or to gather a group in the private rooms, Le Clos du Château delivers a personal, unhurried take on Modern Cuisine that feels both polished and genuinely welcoming.
