We went here for dinner on a Saturday. It was raining then so we opted to wait for a table to become available inside rather than sit outside. The ambience was quite good and cosy. The owner/manager was very kind and funny. Both my friend and I ordered tartines of different flavors. The quantity was enough and the salad was great. The wine was also nice. It was a quirky place and has a limited menu but I would recommend going here to try it.

Tucked away on a charming street in Annecy’s old town, Tête de Cochon is a haven for those who appreciate high-quality cured meats, rustic flavors, and French bistro charm. The name may raise eyebrows, but what’s on the plate will win over even the skeptics. We ordered the mixed cold cut board, and it was a showstopper — an artisanal spread of dry-cured ham, saucisson, pâté, terrine, and rillettes, each slice more flavorful than the last. It felt like a celebration of French countryside traditions, made modern. Nothing was overly salty or mass-produced — you could taste the craftsmanship. The real surprise? The house focaccia. Golden on the outside, pillowy on the inside, with just the right touch of olive oil and sea salt. It’s not trying to be Italian focaccia — it’s more rustic, more French, and utterly perfect with the meats. We used it to mop up every last smear of mustard and pâté.

Fun place in old town annecy for a lunch. Waiters were very friendly and seemed to enjoy working there. Sandwiches and salads were tasty.

Although clearly a meat lovers favourite the cafe was very welcoming for us vegetarians. The boys happily greeted everyone and easily switched between several languages. We enjoyed some delicious toasts without the meat. Served with a salad and a side of wine it was a very pleasant lunch. *they can make all the options without meat (except if the soup has meat in it already!).

This is a cute & cozy place. We were greeted with a warm smile for dinner at 7 pm. My husband & ordered the sandwich (Pollo Hermano & Itellien). We were both so full when we were done. The portions are big & served with side salad. The food was served less than 10 mins from the order time. The decor with pig theme was also cute.
