If You're Going to Splurge at the Regent Bordeaux, You Might as Well Order the Lobster

Where: 2-5 Place de la Comedie, Bordeaux, France, 33000

We've heard there's been a "culinary renaissance" going on in Bordeaux, Paris' vino-licious sister, as "new Bordelais chefs have been invigorating the culinary scene."

Meanwhile, the Regent Grand Hotel Bordeaux, has been busy invigorating the hotel scene as the first amd only five-star hotel to open its doors in Bordeaux.

Inside the hotel, the 48-seat Le Pressoir d'Argent, serving up haute seafood cuisine, and has already established a reputation for an elaborate lobster dish that may be worth the trip:

This intricate menu item involves the restaurant's namesake silver lobster press, one of only five in the world. An elaborate gastronomic production, a choice Breton lobster is first presented live, then brought to the kitchen to be pan-cooked and served atop fresh pasta. The dish is completed in the dining room. The lobster's shell is compressed in the elegant silver press, using the lobster's essence to create a reduction to accompany the dish.

Oh lord! Maybe you'll hit the wine bottle before this whole ordeal so you don't have to think much about seeing him alive before he gets in your belly.
