L'Albatros sur Narbonne

01/07/2026: Quite disappointed compared to the restaurant's website, which really sells a dream... At aperitif time, there was no Pastis (or anything like it) on a Tuesday because they'd sold out over the weekend: not great for early July in the south. 😕 The set menu, whatever you choose, isn't customizable: it's always starter + main course + dessert. I opted for the "Ardoise" menu because the "Héritage" menu seemed a bit too much. The starter (the perfect egg with peppers) was good. Then came the swordfish steak with saffron rice, which was okay but nothing special (too greasy, and not enough saffron). Dessert was pistachio ice cream and an apricot tart, which were rather bland. The staff were friendly, but I still got the feeling I was in a tourist trap. The price of €34.90 is reasonable, but you get what you pay for, nothing more. In short, apart from the superb location, if you can eat elsewhere you won't be missing much. 😉

22/06/2026: For lunch we chose the Heritage Menu. The dishes were refined and beautifully presented, with one small drawback: the cod loin lacked sauce, which was a shame because it was otherwise delicious. The service was impeccable: very professional. The setting is magnificent.
