After this wonderful ballet, why not enjoy a great meal? Going along the same theme of a ballet, be sure to make your way to L'Albatros for some of the best French food in Ohio. Inspired with French cuisine and the great touch of Chef Zack Bruell, L'Albatros is one of the top restaurants in Cleveland. Just be sure to get the wine and cheese plate!
***** I finally had the pleasure of dining at L'Albatros last weekend, and it lived up to expectations. Everything was wonderful. My fiance had the onion soup - it contained beef, which he said heightened the already delicious onion flavor. I ordered the foie gras which was also delicious, and to my surprise they gave me a huge portion of it - don't order it unless you plan to share!
After our appetizers we sampled 5 cheeses from the cheese board. I wouldn't miss this experience. They have about 20 cheeses on the board, and all the servers are knowledgeable about the background of each cheese. It was really fun (and tasty!)
For entrees I had the duck confit, and omg - best duck I've had in my life. We were both speechless after trying it. The accompanying butternut squash puree and braised cabbage were amazing as well. My fiance had the leg of lamb which was also wonderfully and uniquely flavored.
