"This was our last day in France (for this year) and we spent a day in Albi. I asked at the hotel a quiet restaurant with no tourists and good french food. They told us to go to La Viguiere d'Alby. Although Albi in the evening is very quiet town anyway, we were not convinced by the restaurant entrance if this was going to be a good place or not. If we had left, we would have made the biggest mistake ever. We spent 55 Euros in total (including the wine) and the food was excellent, so good that by London's standards, the way the food was cooked, presented and served it would be considered the top end of a dining out. I had a started and main, my partner starter, main and dessert. The starters were a mixed of meat from the region for him, and the same but also with foie for me. My partner is not so keen on to much meat on a plate. He left the plate cleaned. So I did. We had trout (myself) and cod (him) with delicate sauces and very nice sides. Than he got dessert, half an apple cooked, with a open layer of pastry, like a flower with the petal open. Just incredible, the look of it and the taste, a dessert where so many things can go wrong was perfectly cooked. Also the lady serving us, was very sweet, she made the night even more special. we liked it so much so that we are looking for weekend in Albi just to go to this restaurant once again."
