Relais & Châteaux in Lain Hotel Cadonau

Coolest hotel Unique and very special in every way. So many wooden architectural detail that were so cool. Cool designs everywhere.

In Lain Hotel Cadonau This place is nothing short of a little gem in a corner of paradise where everything is done to make your stay unforgettable. By way of introduction, we are fine gourmets and have had the opportunity to visit many Michelin-starred establishments in France and abroad. We stayed for several days at the IN LAIN hotel (1 star, 17/20 Gault et Millau) and had the pleasure of a gourmet meal with eight courses. Simply put, it was a memorable experience: the cuisine is original, refined, with meticulous presentation and outstanding service. I must admit that I had to double-check whether the restaurant had only one Michelin star, as it seems it deserves a second star. The chef pays very special attention to his cuisine, and everything is made in-house here: bread, butter, and even several cheeses, a rare feat worth noting. Some dishes will stay engraved in our memory, such as the vegetarian mushroom dish accompanied by an equally vegetarian reduction, a dish bursting with flavors, as well as several perfectly cooked fish dishes with delicate accompaniments. It's worth noting the balance of the dishes (acidity, harmonious balance of salt/sugar, a rich combination of textures and temperatures). The desserts are equally remarkable for their lightness and finesse, without an excess of sugar. I recommend it without hesitation, hoping that the renowned Michelin Guide will soon award them a second star.
