The story

Le Roc in Annecy: Chef Yoann Conte’s Refined Lakeside Bistro

A lakeside introduction to Yoann Conte’s world

Perched on the shores of Lake Annecy, Le Roc is the younger sibling of the acclaimed La Table de Yoann Conte. The restaurant invites guests into a universe where cuisine is generous, ingredients are honoured, and the setting feels like a mountain refuge. The subtitle says it plainly: “Little brother of our restaurant La Table, it offers a first discovery of Yoann Conte’s world.”

Open daily for lunch and dinner, Le Roc serves what the team calls le bon mangé — honest, flavourful food that goes straight to the point. This modern cuisine is built on the principle of letting the product speak. The kitchen works closely with passionate local producers, farmers, and fishermen, selecting ingredients for their quality and sustainability. Every plate is “an ode to nature and its terroir,” prepared with care to reveal the essence of each element. There are no unnecessary flourishes; the philosophy is one of simplicity and authenticity.

Crafted by a dedicated team

Service at Le Roc is attentive and warm, guided by a team that sees each guest as a friend. From the front-of-house staff to the sommeliers, everyone shares a commitment to personalised, thoughtful hospitality. The sommeliers are experts in pairing, drawing from a wine list that balances local bottles with great wines from around the world. It is a place where you arrive as a visitor and leave feeling like part of the family.

A chalet-inspired escape

The interior, curated by Yoann and Élodie Conte, echoes the spirit of a mountain chalet. Wood panelling, vintage paintings, and carefully sourced antiques evoke the old refuges of Chamonix, creating a warm, convivial atmosphere. “Le Roc is far more than just a restaurant,” the website explains. “It is a refuge.” The decor blends rustic materials with the spectacular views of the lake and surrounding peaks, offering a moment out of time. Outdoor seating is available for those who want to dine with the alpine air and the water as a backdrop.

Recognition and refinement

Le Roc earned a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026, a reflection of its consistent quality and clear identity. It is a restaurant that does not try to impress with complexity, but rather with the purity of its flavours, the skill of its team, and the comfort of its surroundings. Whether you are discovering Yoann Conte’s cooking for the first time or returning for a relaxed meal by the lake, Le Roc delivers a refined, unpretentious experience grounded in the best of the region.
