Le Clos des Sens

Le Clos des Sens is a three‑Michelin‑star gastronomic house in Annecy. The house cultivates a living garden managed in permaculture and names Lionel Perron as its gardener, whose work feeds the kitchen pantry. Sourcing is highly local, and the estate pairs dishes with a sommelier programme that explores local grape varieties alongside bottles from further afield. Beyond the three‑star table the estate operates seasonal concepts — the garden restaurant Le Cortil and terraces — offering different expressions of its vegetal‑and‑lacustrine philosophy. The result is a rigorous, origin‑focused cuisine in which meat plays a supporting, condiment role while fish and vegetables remain the protagonists. The dining room is calm and pared‑back, formed of charred wood essences, Savoie stone and cut crystal, and punctuated by a sculptural fireplace. A terrace beneath century‑old chestnut trees offers views over Lake Annecy. Cuisine is vegetal‑forward and lacustrine, centred on the vegetal world and the freshwater life of surrounding lakes, drawing flavours from market gardening and wild foraging. Preparations emphasise pure, raw flavours and close pairing with juices. Specialties include Alpine freshwater lake fish, vegetal‑led tasting menus from the house garden and permaculture‑grown herbs and produce. The house presents Mets & Jus juice and food pairings alongside seasonal garden‑to‑table dishes.
