La Table Saint Crescent Restaurant in Narbonne

La Table Saint Crescent in Narbonne is a one Michelin-starred establishment that offers innovative interpretation of regional cuisine. The restaurant has a modern and elegant interior design, mixing ancient stones and massive walls with the most modern design. The high ceiling impresses a lot, and the floor is very comfortable. La Table Saint Crescent is located outside Narbonne in a bit of an awkward industrial area, but it's worth the trip. The menu is printed in advance for each guest with their name and, in the back, a map of the region showing where all the products come from. The chef, Lionel Giraud, works with only the best, available, local products, so the dishes on the menu are indicative, as the chef will choose a selection based on the ingredients delivered each morning. The Conviviale menu comprises five courses (one of which cheese) but guests are served nine individual dishes if they count the amuse bouche before and during the meal. Each and every dish is of the highest quality and the presentation is of a standard that belies the restaurant's one Michelin star status. Some of the must-try dishes include the squid tagliatelle with mushrooms, the chicken with almond ravioli and foie gras, the ikejime tuna matured for four weeks, and the lettuce, which is managed in a way that can compare or surpass with Michel Bras. The wine pairing is surprising and unexpected, but the finesse and balance are definitely there. Even if you know the region for decades, you will discover ones you never knew existed. La Table Saint Crescent also offers outdoor seating, making it perfect for a romantic dinner under the stars. The quality-price ratio is really good, and the wine is reasonably priced. Although not cheap, the restaurant is excellent value for money. In summary, La Table Saint Crescent is a fine dining spot that offers a magnificent culinary experience in a hidden gem. The attentive and friendly staff, the innovative interpretation of regional cuisine, and the surprising wine pairing make this establishment a must-visit if you are venturing close to Narbonne.
