Who could resist? We were not disappointed!
The Cardinal House
The pool and spa facilities were excellent with sauna, hamman and special treatment rooms for message and well-being facilities. I particularly enjoyed the citronella tea!
The bar and restaurant.
Dinner was reserved from 7.30pm so we first had an aperitif in the bar. The sommelier recommended a champagne rosè called Jacquart which was delicious.
We were also offered some exquisite appetizers and the oyster in oyster crumble was particularly good.
The seven course tasting menu was inspired to celebrate the best of its one star Michelin Chef and fisherman Maxime Nouail:
Langoustine tartare with artichoke and shellfish ice cream:
Shark carpaccio with fresh seaweed and Daurenki caviar:
Roasted lobster, creamy carrots, shell vinaigrette and sesame crumble:
Roasted pigeon, morel mushrooms and peas with a pea purée:
Buckwheat cone, creamy fresh goat cheese with lemon, fig and candied onion:
Arlette, citrus cream, bergamot sorbet:
Caramel millefeuille, caramel profiterole, caramel ice cream and birthday candle:
The very knowledgeable sommelier who has worked in this restaurant for over 24 years recommended the Lombard champagne for the main courses
The Flavigny-Alésia for desserts
Following coffee and petits fours we headed back to the bar for a cognac.
We gave them a 9 out of 10.
