Inside Galerie des Sorbiers, Alegria has a clearly defined concept: contemporary Peruvian cuisine reinterpreted using French techniques and ingredients. It gives visitors to Annecy a chance to discover an underrepresented culinary tradition that goes well beyond ceviche.
Peru meets the French touch
The menu draws on iconic Peruvian ingredients and dishes: ají chilli, purple corn, pisco, potatoes, leche de tigre and chicharrón. These are combined with French ingredients and methods, creating an openly fusion-style cuisine rather than a strictly traditional Peruvian restaurant.
Dishes that best express the concept
Depending on the season, you might find fish chicharrón with an ají bisque, chilli-spiced bean preparations or desserts where pisco and purple corn become genuine cooking ingredients. Latin American cocktails naturally extend this identity.
A hidden address in a passageway
Alegria is at 13 rue Royale, inside Galerie des Sorbiers. Its position away from the Old Town's main streets matches its approach: visitors come more for the cooking than for a tourist terrace overlooking the canals.
Before you visit
The menu changes with market produce and the seasons. A children's menu makes family visits possible, but the experience is most rewarding when you choose several distinctive dishes and a pisco-based dessert or cocktail to discover different sides of Peru.
