For my 30th birthday, we took a trip to Illhaeusern (Alsace), France, to eat at L'Auberge de l'Ill and stay at Hôtel des Berges. This restaurant has held three Michelin stars continuously since 1967. Only one other restaurant, Paul Bocuse in Lyon, has held three stars for longer (since 1966).

This was my third dining experience at a three-star restaurant. Currently I have eaten at a total of four such restaurants and all have offered quite different, yet always wonderful, experiences. Once I create web pages for my other visits, I will attempt to do them justice with more detailed descriptions.
