Best Dinner of the Trip, So Far

La Bolée restaurant by chef Benoît Bernard served me one of the best meals of my life. The menu had a full page listing who supplied their food. The meat came from this local farm. They got their fish from local aquaculture. They got the wine from certain domaines. It was incredible. I've never seen a restaurant list their suppliers.

I started off with a pumpkin soup with lamb meatballs. An amazing combination of flavors. Then I had slow cooked lamb with pine nuts. Succulent, falling off the bone tender, so flavorful. Of course, there was a cheese course. For dessert, I had the millefeuille (thousand leaves) with marron cream and caramel. Everything was just perfect. I stopped by about an hour before they opened for dinner to make my reservation. It's a good thing I did because I saw somebody get turned away. If you're in the area of Guillestre, you have to eat here.

One of the best meals I've ever had in my life. And it only cost €52 including two glasses of wine.Read more
