Stimulate the 5 senses

As soon as you arrive in the Winter Garden, your 5 senses are awakened between the Indian Ocean and Les Aravis.

  • Hearing is activated upon entering the restaurant with a musical atmosphere.
  • The view marvels at the discovery of the raw products displayed under a bell jar.
  • The olfactory identity of fir oil candles and the scents emanating from the dishes tantalize the sense of smell.
  • With your fingertips, touch allows you to discover different textures.
  • The taste, obviously tasting the flavors of Mauritius and Savoy

The concept of the restaurant Le Cin5 is also trust which is an integral part of the experience. Here, the menu is announced in the form of riddles and presentation of raw products but it is only on the table that it will be fully revealed…

The mountain in an exotic setting

The cuisine at Cin5 translates into authentic and tasty flavors, just-cooked cooking and balanced seasonings, blended in harmony between tradition and modernity.

The Chefs like simple things and from their meeting was born a subtle marriage which forges the identity of the restaurant Le Cin5. A native of Annecy, Alexandre Ciesielski highlights the local products and the treasures of our mountains that Vincent Deforce associates with products from the Indian Ocean, more precisely from Mauritius, dear to his heart.

The chefs make it a point of honor that the products come from organic and/or sustainable farming for responsible gastronomy.

Products from our regions

The winning trio of French gastronomy: cheese, wine and bread, is also carefully sourced.

The Chefs make a point of offering a selection of cheese from local farms. Every week, they go to the maturation cellar of Maison Paccard in Manigod where they select with the greatest care the pieces that will be offered on the cart specially made by an Annecian craftsman. The goat cheeses are produced just a few kilometers away at the Ferme de La Closette which can be accompanied by jams and exotic fruits.

Our superb wine cellar is full of beautiful references selected by Isabelle MABBOUX, sommelier and finalist in the “Best Sommelier of France 2018” competition. Isabelle endeavored to create a menu with choice references, paying particular attention to the wines of Savoie, of which more and more winegrowers are advocating bio-dynamic agriculture for a more lively wine and environmentally friendly.

The bread couldn’t be more local since some are made on site! More than a simple accompaniment, it becomes an integral part of the experience.
