The food was absolutely fantastic. We were really looking forward to trying Albufera, especially since we’re already regulars at Bacav’ (run by the renowned Emile Cotte) and were also clients of the previous owner of La Table de Cybèle, before she sold the business to Albufera.
We introduced ourselves as neighbors and returning customers, and to be honest, we were hoping for a warmer welcome. The restaurant had just opened a week ago, so it’s understandable that the team may have been a bit overwhelmed. That said, there was a mix-up with our order—they brought the wrong dish—and while we were happy to keep it to avoid waste or delay, it would have been nice if someone had acknowledged it, shared a bit about the new ownership, or even offered a coffee or dessert as a gesture.
Hopefully, we’ll get the chance to connect more next time, as both neighbors and loyal customers. Despite that, the food was truly delicious, and we highly recommend trying it!
