Hameau Albert 1er hotel is located in green gardens, with chalets, farmhouse and of course, gastronomic restaurant the Restaurant Albert 1er Michelin twin-starred and run by chef de cuisine Pierre Carrier and Pierre Maillet.
Famous for its highly inventive cuisine and seasonal white truffles, have a 3 cozy if not bit rustic decorated dining room and piano bar. Signature dishes includes wild mushrooms garnished with ravioli stuffed with foie gras, bison steak, pan-fried scallops with risotto and lobster sauce, foie gras with truffles…
What we had tasted simply delicious:
Melting Brittany lobster aside with a homemade fresh pasta generously covered with black tartufo shavings, and fantastically balanced foamy lobster sauce....
silky roasted John Dory, puréed leeks, smokey onion, shellfishes and herb juice...
Washed down with:
2004 Les Plantiers du Haut-Brion, Bordeaux, Pessac-Léognan
Smooth, silky and rich. Fantastic balance. The fact that this is only an entry level white Bordeaux... well it makes this wine simply amazing. (91 pts)
For desert we had picks from the trolley; a choice of fresh and aged French and Italian cheeses washed down with:
1998 Château Haut Marbuzet, Saint-Estèphe
Structured, silky, affectionate... (92 pts)
Absolutely unique experience!
Rating: 9.1 (out of 10.0)

Two stars these days! Cool!
That resturant was my first encounter with Michelin stars, and I will never forget it. (We had "le petit degustation" and I was totally stuffed for 18, and I am not kidding, hours afterwards... :-) )
Believe me man I fully understand man!I can imagine how the “le petit degustation” was like…
Minor problem… after such experiences, expectations always go up… see you soon!
