Le Trianon

Last Friday marked a full year since Emilie and I met so we went out for a nice dinner to celebrate. We chose Le Trianon restaurant at Le Mirador hotel in Mont-Pelerin. The hotel is in the hills above Vevey towards the eastern end of Lake Geneva.

The view was pretty incredible and was enhanced by the beautiful weather. I unfortunately didn’t bring my camera but was still able to take a few decent shots with my phone.

The dinner was incredible as well and began with a mix of “complementary” appetizers. My favorite was the tomato, basil and mozzarella concoction that was served in the glasses in the picture on the left.

For the starter we both ordered the langostine, which was from the Brittany region in France. It was served in three ways and I don’t have the culinary knowledge to accurately describe any of them. All three were great, though my favorite was the one on top.

Here are some additional pictures taken just before sunset.

For the main course we were in agreement as well and selected the lobser (also from Brittany). It was very good -- slightly richer than but nonetheless a great follow-up to the langostine.

For desert I went with the ice cream and sorbet selection, while Emilie chose some sort of cherry and caramel creation. Both were very nice.
