Maison Benoît Vidal

Maison Benoît Vidal is a two-star restaurant in Annecy with a small dining room of around twenty seats positioned at the base of the Aravis mountains. The kitchen prepares dishes using carefully selected regional ingredients.

Chef Benoît Vidal came from Perpignan near the Pyrenees and trained under master chefs Michel Trama and Michel Guérard. He later opened his own restaurant in the Annecy area.

The restaurant bears the chef's name and embodies the identity of the Savoy region through its cooking methods and ingredient selection. Dishes follow time-honored techniques specific to the French Alps and draw from what grows nearby.

The restaurant opens from Wednesday to Saturday in the evening between 19:30 and 21:00, and on Sundays for lunch from 12:00 to 13:30. Plan your visit around these limited hours and days to ensure availability.

A signature starter combines crayfish with coffee and a sauce made from pine buds, a surprising blend that mirrors the mountain surroundings. This unusual pairing shows how the chef translates the landscape directly into flavors on the plate.
