Beau-Rivage Palace Opens New Gastronomic Restaurant
The Beau-Rivage Palace is situated on 10 acres of private gardens with spectacular views of Lake Geneva and the Alps. The property features the Café Beau-Rivage and Le Miyako, a Japanese restaurant, in addition to Anne-Sophie Pic at the Beau-Rivage Palace. There are also two bars and terraces, the award-winning Cinq Mondes Spa, two tennis courts and a special program for children.

Anne-Sophie Pic is currently the only female chef in France with three Michelin stars. The daughter of Chef Jacques Pic, and granddaughter of André Pic, founder of the eponymous three-star restaurant in Valence, Anne-Sophie Pic has aligned her name and creativity with one of the most respected hotels in the world.

Working without pretension, Anne-Sophie Pic marries originality with her classic preparations allowing the cuisine to be the star and guests to savor every flavor. This understated attention to detail is evident at every stage of the meal, from the presentation on the plate to the refined service, from the welcome at the door to the contemporary décor, all informed by the same dedication to simplicity.

Celebrated for her fish presentations, Anne-Sophie Pic's menu features fresh sea bass and turbot from coastal waters, among other inventive fish, meat and poultry options, as well as an homage to her father called Sea Bass with Caviar "Jacques Pic." The appetizer menu offers what is freshest from the market and ranges from a presentation of Fresh Morels served with a Coulant of Parmesan Reggiano to Sauteed Frogs Legs.

The dessert menu, orchestrated by Chef Pâtissier Philippe Rigollot, rounds out the experience with fruit and chocolate inventions as well as a Grand Marnier Soufflé. Seven-course tasting menus are an option for the complete Anne-Sophie Pic experience. For reservations, please call (41) 21 613 33 33.
