In the heart of a wonderful permaculture garden overlooking Lake Annecy and facing the Bauges massif, Le Clos des Sens reveals the extraordinary beauty and unsuspected culinary potential of the Savoyard lakes. Harvest at leisure and let yourself go.
Franck Derouet and Thomas Lorival continue to enrich a culinary universe focused on plants and the lake, with a clear locavore philosophy: all ingredients are sourced from the kitchen garden or local producers. Fruits, vegetables, flowers and seasonal herbs punctuate each plate, which borrows as much from poetry as from modern art - like this creamy polenta with pike roe, this féra with green garden curry or this fine chicory tart. To be even more in tune with the seasons, the house has chosen to work meat products into condiments - particularly during the closed season. Complementing a 1500-strong wine list, which gives pride of place to Alpine winemakers, the "food and juice" pairings (vegetable broths, infusions, extractions, etc.) explore new fields of gustatory discovery and celebrate a clear complicity between the dining room and the kitchen. In this enclosed space, the senses are in for a real treat.
