奧爾博格精粹飯店(Auberge Quintessence)

短暫停留，我們住了兩晚。酒店的業主非常友善和細心，而且與他們的距離很近，非常令人愉快。一年中的這個時候，這裡的平靜非常適合休息。對於提供的餐點我們能說些什麼呢，太棒了！我們想知道這位廚師是否不是米其林星級，或者他是否沒有出演過“頂級廚師”節目。更認真地說，你會很享受。我們推薦這家旅館，並且很樂意再次光臨。

考慮到價格，我們對房間的舒適度感到失望。床頭沒有電視，也沒有平板電腦。黑點是淋浴。水壓非常低，以至於我們只洗了一次澡。儘管如此，我們還是受到了很好的接待。

結合木頭、白色牆壁和石頭的一流建築：現代小屋。非常舒適的房間。值得繞道而行的現場餐廳，都在海拔高度。

The restaurant at Auberge Quintessence was a wonderful experience. The cuisine is modern, interesting and very skillfully crafted. Wine selection well curated and pairings make sense. Service is friendly, chairs comfortable, tables quite large with ample space between them. The view is astonishing. Usually, I would not write more on Tripadvisor than the above text, since I am a professional restaurant critic and spare my energy for the newspaper I am employed by. In that paper I have written more than 2.000 newspaper pages about good restaurants during the last 21 years, so I am not easily impressed. But Quintessence impresses me, and I wish to support the place, as I feel they are showing a new way to go, in these trying times where restaurant and kitchen staff is so hard to find. I have been travelling in France frequently for almost 30 years and watched how the gastronomic level seems to have declined. Or maybe it is just that I have gotten more demanding. To try and assess the situation and compare the old stars the the present time, I recently dined at 3 Michelin star Precatalan and Ledoyen, 1-star Laserre, Tour d’Argent, Maxims, Chez l’Ami Louis, La Coupole and Bofinger. Several of these I have visited more than once. This is what I compare Quintessence against, and of course Quintessence’s gastronomy cannot match Precatalan or Ledoyen, nor can the ambiance of the mentioned historic places be challenged by the very modest dining room of Quintessence (apart from the view which challenges Tour d’Argent..). But nevertheless, I find the precision (not the produce, this is no place for caviar etc.) in cooking quite close to these two famous restaurants, and that is impressive since Quintessence is such a small setup. The chef is also owner, and in the kitchen he has only one cook to help him. The chef’s wife is also the Maitre d’ and waiter, and when I finished the meal and went to visit the kitchen to thank the chef, I found him and the wife busy cleaning the dishes helped by their daughter of 8-10 years! Such devotion is astonishing, and this is my point: One thing is to operate a famous restaurant with lots of staff and charging high prices. Another is for a husband- and wife team to operate an auberge at a distant mountain top delivering very fine and interesting cuisine with both attentive and friendly service. Of course, they need to be practical so there is no á la carte just one menu, and everybody sit down to eat at 19.30. But if you are happy with that, I will warmly recommend the Auberge Quintessence. The settings are wonderful high in the mountains, and you will especially appreciate it if you are a biker, since there was an almost constant traffic of motorbikes on the roads. I am no longer a biker, and although I used to love the sound of my big motorbike, I now find it very annoying, especially on a mountain top. But I look forward to a visit in the wintertime, hoping there wont be a lot of snow scooters instead.

Accueil froid de la patronne qui en plus se moque des clients...!!! Surtout ne telephonez pas de matin pendant les petits déjeuners...!!! On vous annonce un prix au téléphone, et quand vous arrivez après 3 h de route, c'est le double...!!!

Compliments sur le chef !! Vraiment bon - digne d'une étoile Michelin Belle chambre 2 conseils comme quelque chose avec l'apéritif par exemple du jambon, des olives et quelques chaises longues sur la terrasse latérale par exemple Nous aimerions revenir

Calme absolu, vue magnifique sur la montagne et surprise..repas excellent. Chaque plat est une œuvre d'art. Le pain perdu du petit déjeuner ne s'oublie pas...Je vous conseille cet endroit exceptionnel.
