Jeremy BorgerJuly 13, 2013Get a cheese sampler (someone comes to your table with a wide selection and tells you what everything is) and the cassoulet. I prefer the meat cassoulet but the vegetarian one is very good as well.Upvoted Sep 28- MarcJuly 9, 2018Assiette de Fromage (Cheese Plate): For fans of fine cheese, the roving fromage service at L’Albatros might as well be heaven; wide-ranging selections offer a mini master class in cheese appreciation"
Weatherhead School of ManagementOctober 18, 2012Classic French food with a bit of contemporary American. You'll find stunning cocktails, a sophisticated atmosphere and oodles of pork/veal pâté and a heavenly cassoulet of lamb and duck confit!
N AvedisSeptember 8, 2018All time favorite. The menu is big and you can always find something new. Love the atmosphere of different rooms. There’s room for both big parties and singles at the bar.
Always a delightful experience, particularly for a meat eater. The cassoulet, which comes with a confit duck leg, is a standout. Good bar and wine programs, too. Pro service.
Sit out on the patio. Drink the L'Albatros cocktail and get the cheese tray - one of the best in Cleveland. The cassoulet is divine.- Nick LadisaMarch 1, 2016Delicious food, too rate service, and a cozy atmosphere! Our server, Jamie, really helped us pick some great dishes.
Sudhir RaghupathyAugust 14, 2012Great spot. Definitely the Cassoulet - and Confit (Duck). Originally That Place on Bellflower, was uncertain how I felt about its replacement. Zach Bruell = culinary marvel. 'Nuff said.
James RussellJuly 6, 2013Grab a Great Lakes seasonal and try the Choucroute Garni - sauerkraut, smoked pork chop, sausage and pork belly. Incredible.
George LeeNovember 1, 2014Cassoulet was crazy good. Sausage just melted in my mouth and the duck confit was mouth watering
David HeiserJune 9, 2017Pricey for Cleveland, but really good food. You've got to try the cassoulet.
One of my favorite restaurants in Cleveland. Happy hour is great too and staff is always fantastic.- A modern-day restaurant with good bread service? Check. Meat-forward entrees? Check. Great cocktail program? Again, check. Pro service, too.
Iris PMay 5, 2013The "French toast" appetizer is DELICIOUS!!! If you love balsamic vinaigrette, mushrooms, and French toast, this dish is perfect for you.
Joe EllisFebruary 17, 2020Jamming on a Sunday night, great service at the bar. Moules Frites was fantastic!
Maureen MoAugust 30, 2014Crispy pork belly, risotto, seasonal pasta and the cheese course were delicious!
Dana FMay 24, 2012I could make a meal out of the breaded cauliflower...get an order of this generously-sized side dish and share with your table!
KatelynSeptember 1, 2012The pork belly was perfect. Also, order the cheese. The presentation will not let down.- Eric NovelloDecember 6, 2011Charcuterie dish is SOLID. Mussels, braised lamb, duck confit all solid as rock. This place rocks out consistently.
Had the vegetable tartine for very first time. It was tasty and filling.
Best restaurant in CLE. Service, food and ambiance are incredibly consistent.
Make sure to ask your waiter about the specials. They are not listed on the menu.
Georgia YoungFebruary 15, 2011The most incredible food and service in the world. The chicken with camerlized fennel is incredible.
