Of course one has to mention the beautiful scenery on route to Le Petite Colombe, and upon arrival being surrounded by mountains, vineyards and stunning gardens - it sure adds to a special, unique and relaxing experience.
The food was truly a uniquely exquisite experience!
Each dish was beautifully presented - a picture of nature set in front of you - flowers, leaves, wood - a garden of colour!
The excitement and anticipation as you wait to see what the next dish would look like and of course taste like!
Every piece of every dish was a taste explosion in my mouth - tender, delicious, so well prepared and cooked - flavours consuming the senses!
And the way in which the dishes are served, draws you into the experience, making you part of the preparation and enjoyment of the meal.
For the most part, I was enjoying dishes I've never had or tasted before - which made it even more special and unique! Everything was simply delicious!
Thank you for a memorable experience
Absolutely superb again
Food was delicious, service excellent and the amount of detail and thought behind the presentation blew us away.

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..”
