VILLA TRI MEN ^{* * * *}

A real treat nestled in a Manor House just next to the old port of Ste Marine. The building and grounds are those of a hotel (very well refurbished and maintained) with a decor that’s part mid-century scandi and part classic French granite. In the photos the dining area looks a little bland and Formica (new photos needed) but in fact is spacious and private.
Upon arrival it’s drinks and some amuses bouche in a small lounge bar with picture window views across to Benodet. Then we have a lovely corner table looking out of the terrace and river, seeing both benodet and the bridge.
Food - what can I say? The main impression was that it was primarily food. Full of taste, substance and lovely combinations. Yuzu abounded, lifting some of the creamier seafood to a new level. I now dream of the langoustine ravioli in a yuzu-infused lobster sauce! Incredible. The presentation was excellent with plenty of star-winning technique on display, but it was still noticeably, consistently and joyously food first and foremost.
At the end of the meal the waitress took our photo with an instant camera and the staff made us a card to commemorate our silver wedding anniversary. Lovely touch.
Even though this was a special occasion I feel the need to return here for more anniversaries ;)
This is a restaurant that gives faith in Michelin ratings. It was all about the food, the experience and an incredible meal and dining experience. Thanks to the staff it was a really memorable evening. Highly recommended.

Un accueil très agréable et décontracté. Un service bienveillant. Un menu à 67 euros très apprécié. Seul bémol les vins sont chers. On pourrait se contenter d'une bouteille d'eau mais ce serait dommage d accompagner ainsi ces bons plats.

Trop d'emulsions ! On ne sait plus ce qu'on mange... Main un peu lourde aussi sur le sel. Sinon pour le reste, on a bien mangé. Les poissons sont cuits à point.

Très belle expérience dans un très beau cadre ????
Je recommande !

Super restaurant, cuisine au top , super service et présentation.
Cadre magique
