Annecy

World Champion of Pastry in 2005 and "Meilleur Ouvrier de France" (Best Worker in France) in 2007, Philippe Rigollot is a passionate pâtissier who welcomes you to his fantastic boutique and tearoom to offer you a mouth-watering experience. Enjoy the lovely atmosphere of this Parisian-style patisserie, a wonderful place for teatime, and lose yourself in a world of Macarons, chocolates and other exquisite homemade pastries.

This little cafe is particularly popular among locals, who stop for breakfast or just a quick coffee especially on Sunday, when the market takes place. At the buvette (a French term that means a place, usually small, where beverages are sold) you will find simple but delicious breakfast foods such as cheese, cold cuts, baked products and homemade jam.

The perfect address for a cappuccino or a brunch (remarkable is the salmon and mozzarella croque monsieur), this cafe & concept store entices with delicious food and drinks and, most of all, a great location. After your break, pay a visit to the adjacent exclusive boutique, where you'll find some great clothes and accessories to add to your collection.

Because of its lovely location and homey feel, many clients use to call this small café a "little paradise". Friendly staff, good music (some nights, the cafe even hosts live bands outside), a relaxed atmosphere and excellent food and drinks (particularly appreciated are the speculoos, typical cinnamon biscuits) will let you have a great time at Café des Arts.
