Galopin

Galopin (Annecy)

Despite being discreetly tucked away along the Thiou River, Galopin has nothing to hide: in this welcoming space with unfussy decor (untreated wood, blonde wood furniture, an open kitchen), you’ll find nothing but living wines and good ingredients, plus a zero-waste philosophy! At this fiercely locavore bistro, Léa Michoud (a former French teacher) and chef Julien Pradinaud (a former engineer) sent all of the following out the night we went: a stellar Spanish tortilla served with a pepper dipping sauce, roasted eggplant and a refreshing mint yogurt; a pink pork chop in a chimichurri broth and pickled onions; burrata from Atelier des Mozzarellas that was nice and creamy in the center, paired with juicy peaches and fresh basil; cute little crottin goat cheese (fresh and aged!), gobbled up with sourdough bread from the Aristide bakery; before a classic but terribly satisfying chocolate-olive oil ganache, followed by a gâteau de Savoie cake served with local peach coulis and ice cream! // Irma Trochet
