It was a really special experience. We were welcomed with snacks and drinks in the lounge. Fabulous cocktail and great and surprising snacks. Our table in the restaurant had garden view which was great. Nice and a bit minimalistic atmosphere but still warm and comfortable. Service was prompt and great with staff that was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Enormous choice of great wines, not all of them very expensive.
The food itself was extraordinary good. The bread course (a real course this time :), was surprisingly good. Then wonderful crayfish, followed by excellent tuna. The best however was the line fish with the wonderful self constructed sauce with curry touch. Great lamb and wonderful desert (super presentation). We enjoyed every minute of our stay there. The location was great and when we hopped into our helicopter home we were very very happy 😂😂😂 (just joking). Will definitely go back there if we have something to celebrate

About La Petite Colombe

Cuisine: Fine Dining, Vegetarian

“A meal at La Petite Colombe restaurant is like doing the tango with a stranger. You enter the dance floor uncertain of what to expect, and when the music stops at the end, you are left breathless and speechless. And when words are not enough, only a hearty applause will do. I am clapping loudly right now..”
