The partner's word

L'Esquisse is a one‑star Michelin restaurant in the heart of Annecy, created and run by Magali and Stéphane Dattrino as a small table for sharing. It offers carte‑blanche “Surprise” menus (3, 5 or 6 courses), a communal L'Intégrale menu and Expression Gourmande options. The house privileges seasonal produce, explores texture and signs bold, sincere flavour combinations that make the experience highly personal and emotionally focused. A discreet façade on Rue Royale opens to a simple, nature‑inspired, pared‑back dining room with a family‑led service conceived for warm, authentic hospitality, an intimate, family‑run atmosphere and just 22 covers. The cuisine is modern, instinctive and seasonal, driven by local producers, wild foraging and a respect for alpine and maritime ingredients. The kitchen works with Claude Bocquet for meat, Pierre Gay for cheese and Vincent Coly for Léman fish. Stéphane Dattrino (Chef) was born in the Beaujolais and served as second to Laurent Petit at Le Clos des Sens. Specialties include trout confit with celery root, curry and horseradish; supreme of pigeon with confit leg; crispy sweetbreads (ris de veau) from Maison Bocquet; Lake (Léman) and alpine fish preparations; and wild foraged seasonal ingredients.
