Lac Casa / Restaurant Mexicain Annecy
Lac Casa brings a vibrant, passion-infused interpretation of Mexican cuisine to the alpine setting of Annecy. The kitchen prioritizes sensory intelligence, beginning with the bright, citrusy aroma of a cauliflower ceviche marinated in lime and chili. Technique is evident in the slow-braised meats used for the tacos al carbon, where the beef is marinated in a secret blend of spices and lemon to ensure a succulent, flavor-dense result. The huarache offers a compelling textural contrast, featuring a thick, hand-pressed corn base topped with savory beans and melted Oaxaca cheese. For those seeking a richer experience, the shrimp chipotle is sautéed to a precise snap and coated in a smoky, velvet-smooth sauce. The meal concludes with a creamy corn flan or a Mexican-inspired tiramisu, bridging the gap between traditional Latin flavors and European dessert sensibilities. It is a colorful, rustic retreat where the heat of the habanero meets the cool air of the French Alps.
